Thanks for your tips!! and I hope to see you there!
Originally Posted By KCCHIEF It will be crowded........but, wonderfully decorated. You should try to arrange for priority seating at any restaurant that you want to eat at. Not sure what all is down.......check the refurbishment list for that. I was there last year at this time....and thru Christmas. It was wonderful...enjoy! It is fun and exciting to go after not being in awhile.

I already made reservations for Blue Bayou (as I always do) 2 weeks ago, and they only had two spots left Does anyone know if capacity crowds are expected? should I get there super early so I can get in, or between 10 and noon would be fine? (we live in SLO, so it's a 4 hour drive)
Originally Posted By Sparrow I don't know if it will hit capacity but if it does, I doubt it will do so before noon. Try to get there as early as possible, though. The good news is the SoCal passes are blocked starting the 19th so you won't have to worry about so many locals.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros You just need to be in a Disney park with a valid multi-day pass on your birthday to get the gift card, so I see no reason that you couldn't do it in DCA.
Originally Posted By cheesybaby ^^ You do not have to be in a park. You can get the gift card at the ticket booths. You do not have to enter a park that day, and the gift card does not expire.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I second that^. That is exactly how I got my gift card and was told the same thing. You don't have to go into either park and they don't expire.
