Hi! My name is Katrina. Been in love with Disney for as long as I can remember. My husband and 3 kids love going to Disneyland whenever we can. My third\'s first trip was at 17 days old. I couldn\'t sit at home anymore!

There is still a good amount of parking in the structure for those coming in later. It was only a couple minute wait to get in. Happy New Year everyone!!

We were able to get right through with no wait and was put on the Donald level. There was also no wait for a tram, but that may have changed since then. - MrsDisneyMommy29266.3 #863 12-31-12 4:06PMLike Reply

She's 2 and loves Star Wars just like the rest of the family.

That was probably Sonja & Bullseye that you saw. There are a lot of people who just lurk or don't use the lounge much, so not everyone is up to chatting.
