Another New Attendance Record for DCA

[Cosmic Commando]

EDITOR’S NOTE 6/20: After DCA broke attendance records twice over the weekend with 45,000+ visitors per day, they broke the records again on Tuesday with 53,000 visitors at DCA. The suits are smiling as Disneyland held its own with 47,000 visitors on Tuesday. And yes, DCA is now getting more visitors per day than Disneyland. Thrilling the Anaheim team even more is the fact that DCA felt busy with a once unthinkable 53K, but that the overall park vibe was upbeat and had manageable wait times outside of Cars Land.

Record crowds and it supposedly doesn't even feel crazy busy inside the park. DCA is a people eater, they just never had the chance to find out!

DCA is on its way to the top! Thanks Disney for giving us a reason to stay in the park!

I agree that DCA is a happy people-eater, but no one ever knew it.

I was there on the 15th and over the weekend, and with the exception of the crazy four hour line for Racers, the rest of the park just felt "busy but fun". Lots of people walking around, with reasonable wait times. During the parades there was plenty of space to find a spot right up to parade time, with two parades per day on the LONGEST parade route in any Disney theme park.

Best example: Even during this crazy weekend that just passed, Little Mermaid had a posted wait time of 10 minutes in the afternoon and I actually only waited 6 minutes. And all of DCA's other E Tickets besides Racers (Screamin', Soarin', Grizzly, Tower, etc.) seemed to have 30 or 45 minutes knocked off their wait times. Fun!

Poor little DCA just never had the chance to prove what it could do. But now after 1.2 Billion dollars and four years of massive reconstruction, it's bolting out of the gates like a champion.
