I skip summer because it's too hot and too crowded. But, now, it's September, so I'm back. I did go to the opening of Cars Land, and that was exciting. I was flashing back to when Disneyland opened, back in '55, and I was 3.

I am so sad to see the parks go to the“normal”operating hours now. I loved the extended late hoursevery day and not just on fridays!! Now I gotta adjust ot the hours!I want the extended hours back! It's not fair! As long as it's stilllight out at 7:30pm then the parks should stay open till at least10pm every day! I know wishfull thinking right? Anyhow as far assummer, it was great at the parks! Couldn't be better! And I even gotto witness carsland opening, although not being at the grand openingmyself, I still got to be in the year that carsland opened and I amhappy about that! It was great summer to be at DLR..so many, somany!! new things happening at DCA it's hard to keep track,everything from the new shows to the nighttime entertainment!

Summer was pretty darn good with all the Free Ap events from Fantasmic 20th to the Free Movies.....Carsland with a new E ticket and Buena Vista Street I'd say it was a pretty great summer


Ohhh and don't forget the crowds being spread out so even on the worst day the lines for most rides not even going over an hour is pretty unique since the past 3 summers many of the bigger rides were always over 60 mins - 2 hours all day

Even though we are out of towners we still managed to go for the third july in a row. We had a great time and felt that DCA was well worth the wait.

I personally think that this was one of the best summer's in a long time. Both Carsland and Buena Vista Street were a big factor in this. But the most amazing thing was that the crowds, other than Carsland, seemed much lower and more manageable.

Re: Rate the summer of 2012 at the Disneyland Resort.

I'll agree. The best in a long while, although I can't say the best ever. Cars Land was a zoo! But even still, I got to see everything there and it really wasn't too unreasonable. As the day went on, it got more managable.
The crowds were so spread out, it actually really worked out better than could be expected or hoped for.
It's nice that DCA's long preview is over and the real park got to finally open!

I say it was great the addition of CL and BVS help balance out the crowds which was desperately needed IMO.

It was a very very good summer. We went about 4 times. Lots of first times for my daughter who is growing up before my eyes. I thought she'd be a Small World rider the rest of her life, but she wanted more Matterhorn.

Went with Great Time!

It was excellent to experience the new DCA even though it's gone up a lot in the past years the end of the walls was refreshing.

I just can't fairly rank this summer to the ones I had a decade or more ago, and my young self could argue with me very well. So I didn't consider choosing, Best Ever!
