This weekend was the last weekend to use those discounted southern CA tickets they sold this year, I'm sure that plus grad nights combined contributed to the closed gates at DL and crowds. Thank god those tickets are done now.How could anyone blame the lack of parking on Grad Nite? Those kids get dropped off by buses streaming in off Katella to the unused access road behind Screamin'/Cars Land, and then the bus drivers drive away for the day, to return 12 hours later to pick the kids up again. I've seen the long line of buses on Katella myself dropping off kids this month.
If anything, Grad Nite has the least impact on parking spaces of any demographic.
But it does appear that the Disneyland Resort is SLAMMED with crowds this weekend. They stopped letting people in the gates for several hours yesterday according to Disneyland Today Twitter feed, and the wait times on the app have been horrendous.
180 minutes for Splash Mt. and Grizzly River Run (it's 90 degrees this weekend)
150 minutes for Radiator Springs Racers
120 minutes for Space Mt. and Matterhorn and Soarin'
90 minutes for Indy and Star Tours
60-75 minutes for Pirates and Screamin' and Haunted Mansion and Submarines
Also looks like the cheapest passes start weekend black out dates next weekend, so everyone was trying to get there before the blackout dates begin probably.
I always think about the poor people who came from out of town for one weekend to DL and spent thousands to do it, only to find the parks too full to do much of anything. Ugh, that's not right.
