Dude you're here ten hours a day, every day. Some may find that sad as well. I mean, seriously. Once again, glass houses. Stop judging others.

They'd be right.
This warms my heart! We are going to be there this Tuesday for our reservation. A month ago I would've just been happy if we got to ride SR once, walked around the land, tried some of the food and went home afterwards. Now it looks like we are going to have a great time not just in GE with the low waits but will take advantage of rest of the park from 9 p.m. on doing all the big E tickets at night and maybe even catching the second F! in standby. And yes summer nights at DL is truly one of the best times in the park!

Summer nights at DL are the best followed by Spring. I like DL the best when it’s in classic mode followed by Christmas. Halloween has to be last. I’m just not a huge fan of the holiday in general.
All true. I think Summer and Christmas time are the best for sure (and explains why its so crowded lol). But doing them both at night is just amazing. The lights, the entertainment, the (generally) lower wait times, etc just makes your day at the park worth it. Its really exciting to know when we leave GE we will probably get to catch Forever fireworks again with a lower crowd and then raid the rest of the park until closing. This is going to be a fun trip!!!!!!
At least you can admit it to yourself!

Perhaps the joyfulness is over. I'm in an hour wait for the haunted house ride.

An hour wait for Winnie the Pooh? That must be a record.

Winnie the Pooh is the greatest ride through a World of Disney display. The old World of Disney.

Last night, I attended a private event at Knott's, then Lisa and I walked through the Knott's Summer Nights area. I was impressed with the energy, music and the food options.
I also was impressed with The Mine Train. I know Knott's went through cleaning up and plussing the attractions for IPW, but it was so nice to see, everything was working, audio was awesome. Everything I would expect to see at Disney. But currently the classics are not getting all the love they should be receiving.

Yep! The local high school seniors are the biggest beneficiaries of this!

When we went to check in for our reservation yesterday, we just walked right up to the check-in desk. There was no line AT ALL

Yes! For those of us who feel anxious in a tight, crowded space, this week has been one of the best times ever to visit DL!

One week from today the highly restrictive reservation policy to enter Star Wars Land will be over and replaced with some sort of "virtual queue" thing that no one knows much about. Sitting here at the car dealership waiting on an oil change, I thought I'd capture these wait times on the Disneyland App to compare them to next Monday afternoon. Today there's a heavy marine layer and its 71 degrees.

I'm looking at Touring Plans's history over the past few weeks. Two weeks ago Disneyland saw all 1's. Last week it was all 2's except for Wednesday which was a 7*. Yesterday was a 3. It seems like it's steadily been increasing, probably because more and more kids are getting out of school, but still very low all around. I think we're all waiting in anticipation to see how things turn out next week.
*I'm wondering why last Wednesday's particular Grad Nite was really busy and all the others weren't. Do you think it's because most schools booked that day due to when their school years ended? Or was there something else going on in the park? I can't imagine what it would be. The day I was there (the 7th) was the opening of Disneyland Forever, and while the crowds picked up a bit in the evening for it, it never got to a 7 level.

Themeparkinsider wrote a very detailed article on how it's going to work citing Disneyland officials as their source:

I can see this being efficient with Galaxy's Edge for the time being. But it scares me at the same time.. when will the virtual queue program end? How will this carry over to other aspects for the parks?
Not entirely sure how they could implement it for attractions themselves, with Fastpass and Maxpass already being a thing.
