I was at disneyland today and while waiting for World of Color me and my friends counted at least 8 different single engines planes fly by in a one hour time period. Did anybody see that today?

Re: Plames flying by
Military jets were scouting locations in preparation for the space shuttle's arrival on September 20th. A Disneyland flyover is anticipated, as well as some other key hotspots in the LA area.

Re: Plames flying by
It wasn't planes plural, it was a plane, singular.
It was one plane that flew over Disneyland and DCA from late afternoon through the second World of Color, taking pictures and video from the air of the newly expanded Resort. This was part of the ongoing filming this week by Disney's marketing department capturing pictures and video of the entire Resort circa 2012. Tonight was more of the same, except from the air instead of the ground.
It was just one plane, going around and around above the Resort for several hours.

However, due to traffic conditions, ATC may at times ask planes to fly under the height ceiling. For example if there are lots of planes flying in the area or planes on approach to Fullerton. But if not requested by ATC, if any plane (except for emergency or military craft) is under this altitude, including Disney planes, then the pilot would be required to file a request to fly within this area.

This TFR was made essentially permanent in 2003 in the omnibus spending bill passed by Congress.
The same rules apply to the Florida parks. 9/4985 NOTAM Details

It is currently and has always been a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR). It is still in effect as per the FAA until further notice. 9/5145 NOTAM Details The restricted flight space is a cylinder 3 miles in radius, centered on Disneyland extending 3,000 feet up. If a plane is over 3,000ft, it can fly over Disneyland. Otherwise it must request permission from the FAA, be an emergency vehicle, or be directed through by the local Air Traffic Control (SNA or Los Angeles Center) for safety reasons due to high traffic volume.

Flying over at a lower altitude is fairly easy.
Pilot - "Control - Cessna 12 alpha beta requests permission to descend to 2500."
ATC - "Cessna 12 alpha beta descend and maintain 2500"...
BTDT...If you see a cute yellow lab puppy with a yellow cape, WAVE! It might be us! (Or it may be someone else that lurks here!) Thank you for asking before you pet! Next trip, Dec 22-Jan 3rd.

as stated above there is a TFR and so the the ATC controller could also say:
Pilot: Delta 236 Heavy requesting 2500 feet
ATC: Delta 236 Heavy request denied. Maintain 30,000 feet

And I have no clue why a heavy would want to descend to 3000'. It would kill them on fuel.If you see a cute yellow lab puppy with a yellow cape, WAVE! It might be us! (Or it may be someone else that lurks here!) Thank you for asking before you pet! Next trip, Dec 22-Jan 3rd.

Originally posted by Malcon10t View PostLet's clarify a "No Fly Zone." You may not fly over at any altitude. You can fly over Disneyland, at an altitude of 3000'. That isn't very high. You see commercial jets flying over every day, above 3000'. You see private planes flying over around fireworks time, above 3000'.
And I have no clue why a heavy would want to descend to 3000'. It would kill them on fuel.

Originally posted by DonaldMissingPants View Postto clarify i said TFR not No Fly Zone and I was just using an example, no heavy would descend to that altitude
