How bad will it be this saturday

piratesmom · 01-05-2006, 11:10 PM

Hubby and I are taking our youngest kids (8,5,2) on saturday, so that we can activate our passes. Unfortunatly it is the only day my hubby has off. Do yall think we need to be there when the park opens, or if we get there about 11am will it be ok??

Thanks

Well, saying how it is the weekend, the time when most people travel to Disneyland, of course it's going to be crowded. Even if you get there early and headed straight for the Bank of Main Street, there will probably already be a line especially if there is early entry. So, it really doesn't matter when you go.

It's also the last saturday before a lot of kids have to go back to school, so It should be pretty busy, the earlier you get there the better!

I would plan on getting there first thing and beating at least some of the crowd. I'll be there too and I'm just going with the expectation that it will be packed. (Especially with the weather as nice as it is).

But most of all - have fun!!

I'm pretty sure that they have an appual pass center at DCA that tends to be empty. You could try doing it there.

The DCA center ONLY prints renewals and replacement cards, they do not have the equipment to take the photos.

If you are getting an AP for the first time, you MUST go to the Bank of Main Street.

I'm guessing it will be a 40,000+ guest day. I would arrive before noon if I were you.

just got back home. I was a little short. The estimate today was 45,000. Did you head down Piratesmom? How did you fair?
