Question Attendance estimates for 12/25?

disneylandtour · 11-23-2008, 10:02 AM

For anyone at the park, has management put out attendance estimates for Disneyland on Christmas day?

I've seen it empty (once) and a zoo (once). Is there an official estimate this year?

Any help appreciated!

We are not allowed to give park estimates. I'm guessing for security reasons?

It will be lighter crowds in the mornings with crowds increasing as the afternoon approaches and passes. Day will probably end up pretty busy. That's how it has been in the past on Christmas day.

crazy busy. We went on 12/27 once and it was a nightmare. We were told the 25th is busier.

Yeah, the days after Xmas are usually a nightmare. Xmas day is largely dependent on hotel reservations. If area reservations are down, then attendance will be down.

And if you can't give out exact numbers. Let's say this past Saturday, I believe, the estimates were 35,000 for DL. Are the estimates much higher or lower for 12/25.

i would say much higher. When I was there on 12/27 people were saying they could let 85k in the park. I have no idea if that is true. What I do know id we could not see the ground all day and when we tried to walk anywhere it was like after fantasmic or the fireworks are over all day....except worse. It took us 45 minutes to walk from POTC to IASW, because of the crowds. It was very bad.

Trying to get food was horrible, there were no tables to sit at...people were sitting on the ground trying to balance their food on their knees. I don't think words can convey just how many people they can shove in the park.

yeah, as I said, "Yeah, the days after Xmas are usually a nightmare. Xmas day is largely dependent on hotel reservations. If area reservations are down, then attendance will be down." 12/27 will be a nightmare, as those are locals in the park. 12/25 may be a different story, as it has been in the past.

Anyone with actual info?

Crazy number of people...sardine like conditions.

All the attractions will hit high numbers in wait. Space Mountain will be 90-120 mins. BLAB will be 30-45 mins. BTMRR will be 45-60 mins. All Fantasyland rides will be 30-45 mins. Indy will be 90-120...Good enough perspective I figure.

I think your looking for actual numbers, disnleylandtour. I'm pretty sure you won't get them here. Or anywhere else.

Then again, maybe Darkbeer knows something.
