    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Yuck and double yuck, horrible crowds in May and the park is nasty and dirty, employees do not seem happy, worst of all dead ducklings in the water around the castle. Walt would be appalled to see what is happening at his park, wish Micheal Eisner was back in control.

    It is pretty busy I would say YUP ITS PACKED

  3. 1.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    We planned our visit today because it was supposed to be “it’s alright” and it’s PACKED. Practically impossible to get on a ride without lightning lane.

  4. 2.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Lines are longer than usual lately.

  5. 3.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Not too crowded on weekdays right now, but some of the lines are moving very slowly.

  6. 3.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Tons of crowds. 75 mins wait for RISE Against the Resistance. 40 mins for Peter Pan.

  7. 2.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    The park was not very crowded today. We didn’t bother with Genie Plus and got on a lot of rides. At 5:30, we literally walked right onto Thunder mountain.

    Short Lines?

    Disneyland doesn’t seem that crowded but the lines are ridiculously long. Something’s not right. Bring the Fast Passes back.

  9. 1.0

    Forget about it! 👎

    1-1/2 to 2 hour long standby lines. Take whatever standby time is posted and double it. They used to blend Fastpass and standby lines to keep both going – no more. Genie always goes first. Staff couldn’t care less about standby guests. Park is as crowded as a peak summer day (on a January 10 weekday?).

    Still no Trams. The money they’re saving is coming right out of our pockets.

    Empty sanitizer stations everywhere in both parks. Restrooms out of towels and no one in sight maintaining. Unhappy cast members and snarky middle management everywhere. Gate scanners can’t read Q codes consistently. Nasty mask police everywhere.
