Is anybody here going to be waiting in line overnight for July 17th, Disney's actual 50th birthday? I've booked a room across the street and I was thinking of getting in line early around 5:00 a.m., but now I'm terrified because I read something at another site reporting that thousands would be camping out to be one of the first to get into the park on the real birthday. Any tips? Is 5:00 a.m. too early or too late?

I'll be there the week before! I'm SO GLAD we decided against going on the actual date! If you've got the patience for it, go for it! I'm scared enough as it is making my debut trip to the 'land the week before the BIG DAY!

I'll be there... around 7. Sure, there will be THOUSDANDS in front of me, but there' can't be 79,999 (I've heard the capacity is 80,000), so I'm not worried. I don't even really care about the free golden ears or cupcakes... just as long as I'm in the park on the real anniversary. It means a lot to me :D

Well I will be getting there about mid-afternoon on the 17th due to my leave times, so here's to hoping Disneyland doesn't get up to capacity before my family and I get in. :)

I am staying at a hotel across the way too ... I plan on getting in line around 6:45am ... my bf and I are going to check out the campers the night before to see how it is ... if there are a lot to the point we freak out my bf volunteered to camp out while I sleep in the hotel ... lol and he isn't the biggest disney fan ... but I am not worried about getting in ... I just want to be there and do not care about being in the very front for any special speech/event ... :)

I'm planning on being there! Unfortunately, I don't have a room, so I have to drive up that morning. Which means waiting for the parking structure to be opened. :mad: Ideally, I'd love to get there as early as possible. On May 5, 6:00am was a mad house at the parking structure. I'd like to get there much earlier than that on July 17, but we'll have to see how early they'll let us line up to park. I'm thinking of leaving San Diego at 3:00am that day. I'm not sure what I'll do if the structure isn't open until 6:00, though, cause there's really no where else to wait that early in the morning.
