And a few thousand wouldn't make a huge difference at the parks unless they all marched in at the same time (which is unlikely considering the Expo goes until fairly late in the evening). I mean Disneyland normally gets 40-50,000 people on busy days, right? But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...

We will see how many people will head over to Disneyland, on Thursday Disneyland closes at 8:00 so they probably wont have a chance since the convention is over at 11:00 pm the last event being at 10:00 the remainder of those days most of the D23 crowd will have but a hour or two to head over so the crowds should be alright.

Originally Posted By EighthDwarf "The said that they are expecting over 40,000 people to attend the 4 day event." I'm guessing that 40,000 over 4 days = 10,000 per day?

Originally Posted By SuperDry It was quite crowded on Friday night, apparently unexpectedly so to management per the CM conversation I overheard. D23 Expo was one of the reasons cited, along with lots of AP holders that have heard that the F! dragon is finally working.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Wasn't too bad yesterday. Typical Sunday crowds, I think. I noticed a lot of people coming into the park around 9:00 when we left. More then usual for a Sunday night. Maybe Expo-goers catching the fireworks on the last day? Anyway, it was very do-able.
Originally Posted By Moondoggie Downtown Disney seemed rather peaceful on Friday night. Went to see "Walt and El Grupo" with a friend, and there was hardly anyone around the theater (or in the theater) at around 8 p.m.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 That theater is hardly ever crowded whenever we go there. I hope it gets enough business. I'd hate for it to leave that location.
Originally Posted By Jenasweetemotion Are you talking about the AMC in downtown disney? If so I was wondering what the price is to see a movie there, and is it a nice place?
Originally Posted By Jenasweetemotion I know that El Grupo was at D23 I was asking SleepingBeauty82 if that was what theater they were talking about.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Oh! I thought they were talking about AMC! In any case, yeah it's a nice theater with stadium seating. The prices are about the same as any movie theater (high) but AP holders get some discounts.
