Now that the blackout dates are over for the AP's... what are the crowd levels like and how are the wait times?

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
I have a premium pass and thought about going by the park for a few hours after an appointment I had in Anaheim this afternoon, but as I was driving down Ball Road, approaching Harbor, I noticed Ball Road, westbound, was backed up all the way over the bridge to Harbor Blvd. I don't know if all that traffic was feeding into Disneyland or not, and don't know what the actual park looked like, but I figured all the traffic at that time of the afternoon probably meant that all APs were back in full swing. I steered clear.Originally posted by AB Born View Post -
Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
Personally, I've always downplayed the impact of the opening up of the park to previously blacked out AP holders. It's a net zero effect I imagine as the reason the park is being opened up is because it is expected to be slower during those days.
My approach to whether or not to go to the park relative to crowd levels has always been...don't go because you think it will or will not be busy. Go because you love Disneyland. There is enough joy for everyone so long as you keep fun as your primary goal.

Haven't been yet, but my experience with AP opening days in the past is that it's really after work (after 5:00ish) that the crush starts. The morning and afternoons are generally fine. I'm planning on going on Wednesday, so I'll let you know.Comment

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
Went today and it seemed a little more crowded than I was used to over the last few weeks (premium pass holder) . Was a little disappointed wait times were up, most rides over the last few weeks in dca were 15 to 20 min holds (Screamin, Tower of Terror, Soaring). Most were at 30 to 35 mins today. I was there on Sat, and today (Monday) was allot more busy. Disney even switched Disneland back to Midnight for closing, was 11AM for the last week or so.
Still had a great day in the Park.Check Out my Instagram - http://instagram.com/bradinsocalComment

Thats when you make a left turn and head for Toy Story. I guarantee if you did that instead you would have been inside the park by the time you would have parked your car at M&F.Originally posted by CASurfer65 View PostComment

I usually check the wait time apps and see what they are, then I figure out if I want to go.

I went yesterday and the crowd was no where near as terrible as expected. Crowded, yes, but manageable, especially when you bring six water bottles.

Agreed. Toy Story is the only way to go. I take the Mickey route only when I'm feeling nostalgic for a tram ride.Originally posted by DisneyIPresume View Post

That's good to hear, since I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow, it won't be too crowded.

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
I went early August and it was a little bit better then than when I went yesterday but considering the summer crowds are leaving for school it will get considerably better very soon, especially during off season and with all the refurbs going on soon.Comment

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
I haven't been there and am not going this week, but have been peeking at wait time apps.
I've noticed that Carsland is about 25% busier than it was last week, and in the evening from 6 to 9 about 50% busier. Once past 9 it seem to slow down quickly. It looks like a lot of APs are coming in to check out Carsland and then go home right after. In a sense it's kind of like the opening week where crowds were crazy in CL but fine everywhere else, but now not with the same magnitude just the same focus.Be Cool Stay in School!
Next year I'm trying for a summer internship at Stark Industries.Comment

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
Monday morning was really light, walk ons to most rides. But in the evening, I thought it got pretty crowded vs Sunday. 7pm RSR fp line was 40min where Sunday it was all no line until the merge. And there was defenitly a lot less space to walk around. Defenitly not christmas crazy but way more people than the weekendComment

It seems the early mornings are light but by later in the day the parks get a fair amount busier.Comment

Re: Now that all the AP's are unblocked...
Wednesday was pretty calm. Lines hovered around 15-25 minutes for E-tickets in both parks until around noon, where they hit the 40s for Space and Indy. Screamin', Big Thunder, HM stayed around 15 throughout the day as far as I saw. Many of the Fantasyland attractions were about 5-10 minutes, save for Peter Pan. Cars Land got higher waits, as usual, but foot traffic was not that bad in the morning and evening.Comment
