Originally Posted By imadisneygal Yes, there will be capacity crowds on New Year's Day. It's always very busy. Most kids are still out of school and even though the 2nd and 3rd might be a little less busy it is reasonable to expect very large crowds on those days, too. It's a fun time of year to be there but there will be lots of other Guests enjoying the Resort with you!
Originally Posted By raer We checked into the Grand New Years day 2 years ago. It wasn't to crowded, although it did rain 2 of the 3 days we were there & that helped with the crowds. Also the Rose Bowl brings in more people & many schools are out until 1/7, so just be prepared.

Originally Posted By murfsmom we will be there from dec 29th-jan1st, we've been spending new years at dl for years because our anniv. is on new years day. i can' treally say what the crowds will be like,sometimes it's really crowded and sometimes were surprised at how light the crowds are. my advice, go, try it once, but go with an attitude that it's a holiday weekend and expect lines and etc but most of all, go and have fun, and make great memories !!!
Originally Posted By fadedjeans Crows!! I was there in November and didn't see any birds inside the park at all (except the ducks in RoA) which I thought was really odd, but walking out to Harbor we saw crows in the trees above the shuttle area!! omg there were hundreds!!

Originally Posted By monorailblue But getting back to DL on New Year's, it is horrendously crowded. My advice: do NOT take very little children, do not go if you only go to Disneyland infrequently, and do not plan to have much fun, unless your idea of fun is wall to wall people, horrendous lines, and lots and lots of hot, flaring tempers by midnight. If you want to hang out in a quieter place, spend the whole night in Critter Country, though there isn't anything to do there but ride Pooh and wait in standby for Splash. My Christmas wish for Disneyland? Abolish FastPass (and FasTrak for costumes, for that matter), and fully open all queues. I think I'll post a thread about this . . . .
Originally Posted By disneyfreaksk I am just in the mind set of it will be like Times Square.

Maybe a mosh-pit would be interesting!! LOL
Originally Posted By doppio It's a blast. Sure there are tons of people but I have never once seen tempers flaring by midnight. NEVER. Everyone got along and had a great evening ringing in the New Year together. Amazing time to be at Disneyland.
