Leap Day at Disneyland - Page 21

madmonkeygirl · 03-01-2012, 05:53 PM

Ya so much for the park being deserted at the wee hours. People did stay so theark being nearly empty wasn't true. I have to agree the amou t of trash in the que lines and around the park was hideous. Im sorry but that made the park look bad. Seeing that park guest purposely drop his empty cigarette pack on the ground and not even care goes to show people's true colors. I'll keep my comments to myself here.

I've done the been up 24+ hours before and seen the sunrise but nothing like this morning. Something "magical" in that experience. I think that's why there were still a great amount of people inside the park not wanting to leave.

If I hadn't taken the last three days off work to continue with my kitchen remodel, I might have tried to make it. Sounds like it was so much fun!

I think the cool thing about the crowds is there was a giant set of giddiness. Everyone there seemed to be having a good time, and what crankiness may have accompanied the ordeal of getting in, soon melted away to the collective joyfulness. It was a Leap Day Miracle.

So quoted....

Everyone already spoke to exactly how I felt. Amazing evening of Disney, not because of the signs or special fireworks, but friends and Disneyland mash up.

Wasn't a fan of the rowdy folks but that comes with the territory, though the CM walking by the dude smoking in the Jungle Cruise line should've said something.

Otherwise,

my friends...

When did I say it sucked? I said it was crowded. Was it not crowded? It was so crowded it was all over the news last night. I've heard complaints about the crowding from half the people in this group who were there last night, though not once inside the Park.

Maybe a bit of my regret in missing it is seeping into my tone unawares to me, and if so - I apologize. It's clear everyone had a ton of fun, so I have nothing bad to say - nor have I said anything bad - about the event itself. Just that it was outrageously crowded (I personally don't even want to THINK about being inside Disneyland if it's crowded enough for them to close the gates to further admission - yikes).

And I'd gladly put up with seeing the Park in the garbage-strewn state of your typical Six Flags park if it meant I got to see them mowing the Autopia lawns.

This was my first Disney overnight, and wouldn't have had it any other way last night. So awesome to have friends to spend it with. Sorry to run out just before it ended, but I was done. I've learned my limits.... Yeah, I know, not always fun to be an adult.

I think this just proves we all need to get together at the Park more often....

BarTopDancer · 03-01-2012, 06:07 PM

I am so bummed we didn't take a group picture of the last ones standing.

alphabassettgrrl · 03-01-2012, 06:09 PM

Oh.

Yeah.

I only got one group picture, and that was very early in the day. I should have taken more.
