I guess I'll take my nap aboard the subs

Good question.
I was hoping someone would just let me cut before boarding the subs...

I'm kidding.

Also keep in mind that the parking garage doesn't even open till 7:30, with arrival at the Esplanade by 7:40 the earliest possible (and highly optimistically unlikely) time.

You'd think that would put everybody in the same boat.

And you'd be wrong.

By 7:45 there will be thousands of people in the Esplanade ... and a Two-Hour wait for Subs if you get there after them.

Anyone staying in local hotels should try and get there by 7ish, and save a place for the drive-there masses. (And perhaps anyone staying just for Subs and then a'goin to Laguna can park carefree at McDonald's on Harbor with no worries about their vehicle causing non-customer suspicions.)

So when does the DTD lot open?

Of course, the day ISM went there was Early Entry. We won't have that on Sunday.

If anyone wants/needs my cell number, feel free to pm me. I firgure Boy and I will probably be at or near the Esplanade close to 7, with a stop at Jamba Juice on the way to the gates.

Is this a normal Sunday morning? Since the subs have been open for a couple of weeks now, I would think that the initial crush would have mostly subsided by now (pardon the pun - it was unintentional).

I'd expect not because I'm a pessimistic jerk, but I will be at the gates early on Friday (also a non EE day) so I can give you a report then.

Oh, and the DTD Lot doesn't open till 8am.

Anyone not staying at hotels who has the urge to get there early (and bring bagels!) should probably park anonymously in the big Mimi's / McDonald's lot on Harbor.

Personally, I have no problem with 17 people cutting in with 4. But that's just me.
