QUOTE="Figments Friend, post: 7840737, member: 15152"]Thought I would bump this thread up with some additional thoughts and tips, as it appears a few of us will be there around the same time.
( Waves to @TheOrangeBird01 and @Antaundra )
Only a little more then a week to go!
Are you excited yet...?
For those that don't already know, Monday August 21st is the first day the locally priced Annual Passes become valid for admission again after being blocked out for most of the Summer season.
Southern CA resident and Southen CA Select APs are the less expensive options for locals, and once they become unblocked the crowd levels at the Parks definitely rise.
Lots of people will be coming in to see the new additions, so plan accordingly!
Get your 'Fantasmic!' FPs as soon as you walk in the gate either via MaxPass or the good ol' traditional way with your power walking feet.
I'm told the FP distribution kiosks are now near the entrance to the Mark Twain Riverboat dock.
I've also been told that FPs for both showings of 'F!' are often completely gone by 11am.
So you have been forewarned.
Also, you might want to consider hopping over to DCA on Monday / Tuesday evening to avoid the AP crowds likely coming in for the nighttime shows.
This is actually going to be my plan while I'm out there, as I'll be soaking up Disneyland fully in the days prior to the local CA Resident APs
Thanks for the tips. Just realized last night that our trip dates occur just as the AP block ends. I am expecting larger crowds now. Luckily we have four days in the parks so we should be able to do everything that we want. I might hold off doing Fantasmic until mid-week though. We will need a good game plan and teenagers who wake up so we can do rope drop!
