Lining up over night for July 17th

[RabidAlienz]

Does anyone know where you can park overnight in order to line up at the front gates the night before the July 17th opening? Besides getting a hotel room you wouldn't use and parking there and the Mickey & Friends structure not allowing over night parking where did the people park who lined up on May 4th for the opening on the 5th? Please advise to solutions!

I do not believe they will let you line up overnight.

I do not believe they will let you line up overnight.

There were people lined up the night before for the 5th.

I'm getting there at around 7 AM. This will be after long days at Comic Con, too. I'm gonna be so tired, but it'll be worth it.

People started lining up at 2am for the 5th. They let us line up outside of bagcheck. People were really well-behaved and courteous to security, so hopefully they'll allow it for July also.

I'm betting folks will be lining up as early as midnight, if not earlier.

Well I think we need to set up tents.. LOL

[Morrigoon]

That does beg the question: what WILL we do with our cars? Because I know some of us (wink wink) are talking about being there at midnight.

This is one of the main reasons we ended up getting a hotel room, so we have a place to park and not have to worry about moving the car, our stuff, etc.

(That, plus being able to walk back from Uva Bar!)

Midnight though? Really? Note to self to bring flashlight to read HP6 while waiting...

Hey! Stay out of my head!

[Morrigoon]

And batteries!

Actually what we need is one of those cool bar flashlights, where we can light that up and several folks can sit around it reading.

But our hotel room isn't close. I think I might just have my mom leave me with some of you all for hours. (I'll bring my Nemo Go Fish! cards if anyone wants to play them with me) and she can meet me later in the morning? I don't know what else to do. She'll get there early... but how early is early enough? That is the question.

Bonfire, anyone? We could make s'mores!

[Morrigoon]

Somehow I suspect they'd have an issue with that.

We can start with Golden Dreams theater and those empty buildings in "the bay area", then move over to the "food-court themed to an ugly run-down wharf".

I'll bring the marshmallows....

[SusieP.]

Somehow I suspect they'd have an issue with that.

I know. Sometimes they are so not fun there, all serious about safety and stuff. We just need a little bonfire, just the trashcan-size kind!

[Disneyphile]

I've got a portable firepit!!!

That'd be the best - Harry Potter Goes to Disneyland bonfire and line party.

We'll at least have that minus the bonfire though.

[mamabot]

Did somebody say Smore's?



I will be there, probably at midnight. Maybe we should have a Sephora section of the line where we all get goldy glitterfied for the 50th. For some of us, it will not be the first time.

[viewaskewniverse]

I'm going to show up around 2am and crash your party. I'll be the one pelting marshmallows at the crowd and tooting a golden colored horn.

hehe.

I'M IN LINE NOW. Everyone has to get behind me. I'm in the carpool lane of the 5 freeway. I'll wait here with the hazard lights on till the 17th.

[aralechn]

Can't wait to get my 50th Anniversary cupcake!

Horridly off-topic, but I can't stop laughing at Cousin Orville's latest icon....
