    The worst crowd I’ve ever seen. I think Disneyland let’s to many people in…fire hazand. Over 95 minute wait for rides. Is this really worth the admission…I think not.

    went to halloween night. Way too overpriced for what it is (typical disney) and way way way too crowded. I purposely picked Wed ( not sold out). Crowd was forecasted to be hey it’s alright, but was hard to move around. I got there around 3:30pm into parking lot. IT was about 4: 30 by the time entered the park- after took the tram from parking, got in through security and through lines to get into park. Then just more lines from there. Did not get to see all the characters – which my little kids would like to do – due to too hard to move around the park.

    Well, we are no cheap tourists. We go to Disneyland once a year and drop around $8000.00 for our trip, including airfare, hotel, transportation and passes. We spend a lot of money in the parks too. It’s just very hard to spend so much money on a once a year vacation, and be in line with folks who come every week and talk through all the rides. I don’t hate the passholders – all the ones I’ve encountered have been very helpful. I just wish there was a nice off-season like there used to be. The past few years, that has disappeared. And Disneyland is for EVERYONE, not just the locals. 🙂

    Just fyi to you cheap tourists complaining about passholders….. We pay CRAZY money to hold a pass and put up you “entitled” tourists……. We act like its “our” park???? Well…. We financed it and its in OUR backyard so……..ya know, you’re more than welcome to buy an annual pasd without living here….. I had mine while living in NV…. No one is telling you you HAVE to go to Disneyland!

    It’s not too bad here today! Pathways are pretty easy to navigate and wait times have been a max of only 20 minutes so far. But it is early.

    Weekdays before and after Labor Day are the best! It’s not crowded at all and the lines move fast.

    Go right after LA schools go back in session. The park is empty and there’s no lines!
