Diamond Celebration: 24 Hour Event @ Disneyland Resort May 22-23!

[theluckyrabbit]

...I completely agree! Last year, the DJ was so loud it was uncomforable on the ears even over at Jolly Holiday! I can't imagine what it must have been like at PFF or even closer to the castle!

The one amusing thing about trying to hear anything over the DJ is watching the leads trying (desperately!) to dance to SOMETHING, some choose the band if they can hear it and others give up and go with the DJ. It can make for quite an interesting variety of rhythms and patterns on the dance floor. And the follows really get tested, especially if they are being led to a song that isn't the one the band is playing!

I swear, every time I think I have it all planned out, something else changes! Maybe I'll go to DL for the opening ceremony, run over to DCA to get my fastpass, then run back? That seems like a lot of running though...

After standing around for 2 hours waiting for the opening ceremonies, a little jog over to DCA might feel good! I may do the same

I think my group is going to start in DCA -- get our WOC FPs, get Soarin' FPs, do RSR as single riders, and then head to DL after all the opening ceremony madness has died down.

Who am I kidding -- the madness is not going to die down, is it? lol What in the world was I thinking planning to go for the 24 hour???

So question: I want to go t the 24 hour event but I don't have a car so I'm actually taking the bus from LA to get there(yeah I know I'm crazy)

Would it be a good idea to get to the park at say 9pm on Friday?

Also how does the annual pass work for this? I have the deluxe one so I'm blocked for Saturday, when would I have to leave the park?

not a good idea at all
9pm friday is almost certain to reach capacity so you'll be stuck in the esplanade or at california adventure, your annual pass is good friday 6am - saturday 6am

Ah, okay, yeah I'll be pissed if I get all the way there and I can't get in haha. I've been debating on going and honestly even if I do get in I hate going to the parks when it's insanely crowded anyway, I'll just go next week ^_^

THANKS!

So best guess on what restaurants will be open early for coffee and food? We are planning on grabbing some bagels or muffins the day before just to have in case. But waiting from 2am to 6am without food is going to make this girl very hungry.

I'm curious about this as well. I am going off the idea that nothing will be open and will be bringing some snacks and breakfast with me for the early hours.

 

[jkolkemo]

Maybe we all need to get on the phone with the downtown Disney places and check when they will open...

 

[jkolkemo]

La Brea is opening express at 4am and restaurant side at 7:30am FYI, just called them.

 

[john398]

they sure are avoiding the question on the blog of if we can get in line before 10am......
