Hola folks...
First time in this group, what an awesome resource this is! I'm hoping to get a question answered. Been to D/L five times, twice as a kid with my family back in the 70's, twice as a teen with school groups (80's) and once with my wife (90's)... except for my most recent visit, I found the crowds and line-ups to be very hard to handle (yeah, yeah, I know... welcome to the club, waa, waa, waa LOL).
Lesson learned when I went with my wife, we went in November '96, park was an absolute pleasure, very few line-ups (except for Indiana Jones which was all of 45 minutes wait, whoopee), packed more activity into one day (and we had 5 days!) than I could've packed into a week on previous trips.
Ok so we're now planning a trip to D/L with our 6-yr old son who's finally tall enough to go on all the good rides. Problem is our only window is the last week of May '06... I figure it's either gonna be slow with school still in session, but then again it could be a zoo with travelling school groups and such. My inside voice is screaming "GO IN THE SLOW SEASON YA MOOK!!!" but this is our only window of opportunity this year.
So... questions...
1) Is there anyone who might give me an indication as to expected crowds in the last week of May? The boy is totally stoked to go to D/L (as are his parents ) but I'm wondering if it would be better to hold off until slow season?
2) How exactly does this new FASTPASS thing at D/L work?
Cheers,
Zeek
