based on what i seen and hear the mickey and friends stays open for about two hours every morning then closes and reopens later and goes on and off filling in the different sections to ensure parking is avaiable to guest who come in later in the evening - pikarich575.8 #190 3-17-13 10:49AMLike Reply
The lines to get in are crazy. Mouse index ays 71 it's wrong. All the lines are halfway the entrance same with ca adventure
Admin is working on making the crowd index more accurate, but how do you know it's incorrect? You're not in the park yet. - Alicewhoareyou535.8 #209 2-9-13 6:41PMLike(2) Reply
Yeah, lots of times the lines are long but the parks aren't as crowded as it would seem. - MissMolly 653.4 #160 2-9-13 6:51PM
I think the lines are long/slow because they have to photograph folks with multi-day tickets, and that's kind of a process. That has nothing to do with the crowd index, though. But either way a decent-sized crowd on a Saturday when there's a special event (Lunar New Year) is not that shocking. Have fun! - JustCantWait778.6 #121 2-9-13 6:44PMLike(2) Reply
Also, remember the parks can seem more crowded when a lot of rides are down for refurb--fewer places for people to go. - JustCantWait 778.6 #121 2-9-13 6:58PM
So true!!! We come this weekend every year for the boys birthday & its never been half this crazy! - SunshineCyn41.4 #3950 2-9-13 6:41PMLike Reply
The length of the line to get in does not necessarily mean it will be busy inside. Many of these may also be there just to see fireworks. - aidensmama336.3 #440 2-9-13 8:32PMLike Reply
Does anyone know if we still need a fast pass for the world of color?
If you don't happen to get a fastpass, they have brought up a new section of viewing for those non fastpass holders right in front of tlm building... Honestly a great view!!! Projections can be seen without anyone or any kids in your way. But woc is undergoing refurb right now so no woc til the weekend I think. - VinylSteve515.4 #226 1-26-12 6:56PMLike(3) Reply
Hey.. I don't believe that viewing area is currently in use. They are doing construction in front of TLM building and have a construction up. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't been to the park in about a week.. But you might want to double check. - CMJenKWorth 122.9 #2678 1-26-12 8:48PM
I'm sure you were, but we have to remember that newbies are going to judge MW by how they are treated, and they have yet to "get" how we joke around. So something that might be joking (and to be honest I didn't really know you were either) could offend someone that was trying to ask a simple question. :) - Melliott299.4 #613 1-27-12 2:58PMLike Reply

Disney was pretty nice today. Chilly perfect day. Flag retreat ceremony is a must. If you haven 't seen it I recommend it.
Ill have to see it next time i go. - akeleh293.5 #652 1-22-12 1:10AMLike Reply
the best flag retreat ceremony that I witness so far is the one during Veterans Day (Nov11). It is a great way to honor those who have served, past and present. - otilegna836.1 #107 1-22-12 1:35AMLike Reply
This is the coolest thing. I get chills everytime and I always thank the vets and shake their hand as they leave. Such a special thing that we can all make even more special for them by letting them know that appreciate all that they do. - SuperCooper818.0 #112 1-22-12 4:25AMLike Reply
Yup, that's how I started!! - makoto84 230.3 #1235 1-22-12 1:23AM
Just start with a favorite character or favorite DL movie. My youngest son collects any and everything Toy Story. I collect Jack pins from Nightmare before Christmas. This should be a good starting point. Just one warning " it's very addicting"! Haha. Have fun collecting!😃 - JackandSally454.1 #3665 1-21-12 9:06AMLike(2) Reply

Id start with a favorite character or two and get the ones you like that have that character or characters. Everytime you go to the park im sure there will be different pins so you'll never run out! And you can get a whole bunch online too which is neat so there's even a bigger variety to choose from of the characters you want! - akeleh293.5 #652 1-22-12 1:25AMLike Reply
Yes, we had fog. But Disney delivered. It was fun we made new friends, the DJ was good. People can get a little dumb in crowds like that but security was on it. Our spot hours before
