Sorry if this question has been posted before, but I searched and came up with nothing.
I remember quite a few years ago, we had an animator friend (so you KNOW this was a long time ago
) who signed us into Disneyland. We came in through the CM-sign in entrance which was on the far right hand side...where the stroller rental is now.
After standing in several non-moving lines recently, I began to notice why some lines at the turnstyles just plain stopped and others kept moving. On several occasions, the reason for the stoppage was that a CM was signing in some friends or family, and the process usually took from 30 seconds to 4 or 5 minutes depending on confirming information, getting the dates on park hoppers right and/or polite and sometimes lengthy conversation (if they knew each other.)
My question is....when did the CM sign-in entrance disappear? Why are all the CM's going through the main gates? It seems that it would speed things up for BOTH the non sign-in guests going through the gates as well as the CM guests to have an additional gate designated just for that purpose as well as VIP's.
Thoughts?
