Leap Day at Disneyland - Page 3

Moonliner · 02-09-2012, 03:25 PM

We talked earlier about dinner plans for Tuesday the 28th. Assuming an uneventful trip, I'll be arriving at DLR a little before 8:00pm. If that's not too late I'd love to meet any/all for dinner and/or drinks.

The official calendar has Disneyland closing at 8:00pm so I'm not sure what effect that will have on DTD. I'm guessing it won't be good.

Do we need any advance planning in terms of reservations or is the general consensus to just wing it?

An interesting observation someone made....

While you might not know it from the weather, it's still winter in Southern California from a solar point of view.

Quote:

Sunrise isn't until 6:20am! (Sunrise is considered the top of the sun at the horizon.) And twilight isn't even until 5:55am!

So anyone who makes it through the night will be leaving the park in the dark.

If 6am is the departure time then sunrise doesn't fall before then until May 4th (a whole day earlier than in Los Angeles) and it isn't really a big difference since the earliest sunrise in Anaheim is 5:40 for two weeks in the middle of June. Which is two minutes better than D.C. ever does (D.C. is farther north so should go earlier but is also farther west within its timezone which kills the advantage).

So with Grad nights typically in May/June? and Anniversary events in July it would be at least possible to see the sunrise on the way out...

Finally got vacation approved for both the 29th & 1st Now to figure out what I'm actually going to do...

I'm thinking about visiting Storytellers Cafe Tuesday night, 8pm'ish if anyone is interested in joining me.

2am for the Tiki Room sounds perfect, I'll get back to you regarding 5am on splash....
