Guys, guys. There is no reason at all to be there at 2am if you don't want to! If you go at 2am, it's because you want to be first in line, or you want to pull an all-nighter in Disney geekery. Very few of us will be there then. Many others seem to be showing up at 4 or 5am, while me and GD are planning on arriving at 7:15ish.

There will NOT be 70,000 people there at 8am. I think you'd be more "sorry" if you didn't get any sleep and burned out at 1pm!

If I can't get work moved around, I may not be staying for Sunday. But, either way I fully plan on being on Main Street Saturday at midnight, so I can technically say I was there on the 17th.

Aww! Sorry to hear about your crappy work schedule. We'll miss you.

Good points, all of them. I guess my concern isn't as much getting into the park as it is having a major line for our blockout tickets. How full do you forsee the ticket booths being?

I can't wait for an all-night geek-fest. Ken and I plan on sleeping in the late afternoon/early evening on Saturday, then heading over to DL before 11, close it, then cross the esplanade for some all-night partying, then leaving DL after dinner on Sunday. We'll also probably grab a nap sometime on the train between the caroussel run and the rededication.

GEEK FEST!!!!!!!

I'm almost looking more forward to the line-up than the actual day, just because it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. (Not that the day isn't, but still..... it'll be like a convention of Disney geeks camping in a Disney park!!!)

Very, very cool. I hope you and the others have a blast! Take lots of pictures!

There will be many different ways we celebrate the 50th...opening the park, hitting certain attractions, meeting other geeks, wearing our DL pieces of flair, taking a long lunch at the Blue Bayou, talking to CMs, watching fireworks....as usual, there's a lot to do and all of us will do the day differently to some degree.

I know each and every one of us will have a great time regardless of our choices.

I got my schedule moved around just a little bit.
I plan on being at the park Saturday, pulling a geek-infested all-nighter, being in the park for a grand total of *drum roll* 1.5 hours, going to work, leaving straight for L.A. to see Wicked at 6:30pm.

It will be marvelous.

Sleep? That's BS, I'm 18, I don't need sleep.

Ditto - Remember this whole DCA waiting area is only out there for the Disney online community - as big as the internet is, this goup isn't that big. That said, it's a Summer on a Sunday so they'll be plenty of people anyway. The only reason to get their at 1AM is to get in line for the limited edition pins.
