I am a little late to post this but I didn't read it anywhere else. The Monday Disneyland started "off season" hours I was in the park and witnessed a crowd control breakdown first hand.
People were sitting and waiting for Remember in the street and such as usual (I saw it twice from my bench right in front of the castle that trip already). I went to head over to Indy using the walkway in front of the castle, you know the one they moved there awhile back? Only problem was IT WAS NOT THERE!!!! Apparently, they lost a load of castmembers to school and they did not have enough people to man the walkway, so they decided to just not put it up. So there I am with my cane and two kids and we are stuck in a crowd of people all angry because people keep walking over them. I said sorry and told them there is usually a walkway here. Had to turn around go half way down mainstreet then turn back and work my way over.
Seems to me there should've been some better planning. I mean there were no signs saying where one should walk if trying to get to the opposite side of the park and it was a huge cluster !! Disneyland used to be the leader in crowd control and it has been steadily declining over the years. Nobody is ever around to keep people out of the planters and off the railings around the hub during parades and shows like there used to be and several other suttle changes for the worse as well. But this just put me over the edge! Sorry had to rant, but come on don't you think they could do a little better?:rant: :rant:
