Originally Posted By sherrytodd OK, here's my theory. We'll be there May 4-7. All the Spring Breakers will be gone, the Easter thing is over, PLUS all the special ticket deals end April 27 which include the SoCal twofers with no new ticket deals offered (that I'm aware of), so I'm hoping for light crowds.

I get nuts when we're this close! *LOL* Was on the phone with Mr. Alice's mom last night - helping her get her packing list together so she's super comfy while we're there. I was blathering on like a crazy person! Thank goodness she loves me (and my enthusiasm) lots!

Who knows what is scheduled outside of the Convention Center!
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Yowsa! Well let's keep 'em all locked up in their seminars... Their bosses paid good money to send them to LEARN - not to be out goofing around at Disneyland of all places! Hee hee hee hee ;-)
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Seriously, though... It may make for bigger crowds in the later afternoon and evening, but if these are diligent conventioneers, their days should be tied up. *Fingers and toes crossed*

Originally Posted By sherrytodd I thought that they were going to extend the hours through the rest of the 50th.
