If you don't have a hotel reservation yet, you're nuts.

We aren't staying in a hotel, even though I kind of wish we were, so we wouldn't have to deal with the parking. And we live 15 min away.

After 05/05 though, I think parking/tram won't be that much of a problem. It was easliey the best-handled thing that day.

best-handled thing??

Perhaps any plans we make should end early-ish on Saturday so that we have energy for a FULL DAY on Sunday? I know I plan on being there at opening because if I show up any later and the gates are closed, I'll never forgive myself. And we won't be able to leave, either.

After 05/05/05, does anyone still believe that the park won't close its gates? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they sold out on the 16th, too.

From what I heard people were lining up before 5am on the 5th. I think that getting there at opening won't guarentee park entry. I have no doubts the park will hit capacity and I think it'll hit earlier than anyone expects.

I know I'm bringing my backpack with snacks and water, getting a locker and preparing for a very looooong day. I feel very bad for unsuspecting tourists making a once in a life time trip during that weekend. I hope it isn't as crazy as we're all expecting.

Steph, As far as I recall, the only time 7/17 has been a block out day was when 7/17 fell on a regular scheduled block out day.

This I can't believe. Do you really think there will be 60,000 people there at 9am? SIXTY THOUSAND?

That is doubtful. But, people will wait all night because they think that is the case. Hey, have a good time! See you all at 9:30.

You know, you guys, the more I read about the speculative 50-hour posts, the more I wish I would be in town in July. Nothing says PARTY like deliberate (and brute force) insomnia coupled with heady Disney-esque camaraderie.

The consolation would be that we do plan to be in Paris later in the fall, and money-permitting, an Orlando holiday early next year.

July 17 is blocked out for Deluxe APs. Has this been the case in previous years? I'm guessing it's due to the anticipated large crowds.

I just got back a response from my first email to Disney about buying tickets for the 50-hour party. Then sent me a list of all their ticket options, so I responded that from their reply I presume that one one-day admission will give me access for the whole 50-hours as long as I don't leave the park.

I'll report any further follow-up.
