Aww, ML, that was a wonderful thing you did for your mom. Awesome that you got to do some whistling yourself!
Like ML said, DL was "empty", meaning there were actually people there, but nearly everything was a walk on, even Space and Splash. It was a hot day, sun streaming down, and I stood looking at the Splash "5 min wait" sign in disbelief. The smaller walkways make it seem like there are much more than DCA, but looking at those photos, there's no comparison. Disneyland must've had 15 times as many people in it than DCA did. Yup, that's my uneducated estimate.
If only all of us could go on Wednesdays in February (but then it'd be full, wouldn't it?)
