We went to Disneyland yesterday (4/19), on a whim, while we are visiting family in Orange County. It's been 2 years since I was last there, and in the interim we've gone to WDW 4 times. I can't speak to any other day this week, but it seemed less crowded than an average day at MK. We arrived at 11, after upgrading to a Premier passport (because we're moving to SoCal this summer).
Got an Indian Jones FP, rode Pirates with a 10m wait, ate some beignets, rode Winnie the Pooh with a 5m wait, ate some watermelon, got a Haunted Mansion FP, rode Indiana Jones, got a Dole Whip while waiting for the Tiki Room (avoiding the 50+ people in line for Dole Whips outside the attraction queue), rode Haunted Mansion, ate some cotton candy, got a Star Wars FP, rode Nemo, took the Monorail to Disney Springs for walk-up 4pm dinner at Ralph Brennan's, walked back to the park, rode Star Wars, looked for hidden mickeys in Toontown, ate a churro, rode Alice in Wonderland, and watched the electric parade at 8:30. Out of the park and watching fireworks from our car at 9:30. The longest waits were for Nemo and the Monorail, both about 30m.
The very helpful CM at the photo store explained how I had to email an office to get photopass connected to my Premier AP because the barcodes are a different length, so I'll do that today.
When I was there yesterday it took about a minute for the times to appear on the app. It was slower than the WDW one, for sure.Is it just me, or is the app not working for wait times in DLR today? They come up for DCA...

We arrive on Saturday morning, just 2 more days!
I was just trying to double-check the park hours and entertainment times on the Disneyland website and suddenly none of the days show parade or fireworks times, including today. When I go into day view, which would usually show that, it says Schedule unavailable. When I looked at it a while back, I was sure it showed the MSEP happening twice a night (8:30/10:30) while we are there. Hopefully that hasn't changed.

April visitors, I have a question for you! A few weeks back I saw a thread (that of course I can't find now) where someone mentioned that Radiator Springs Racer fastpasses were being distributed during EMH. Does anyone have any firsthand experience of whether that was the case during your recent visit? I know that normally FP are not distributed during EMH but several people confirmed that was happening for RSR at one point, so I am wondering whether that's still the case. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!
We were there last week and fastpasses were being distributed during EMH. One of the cast members told us about it when we were entering the park.April visitors, I have a question for you!
