    Which brings me to another question. DCA opens their gates 1/2 hour before park opening, right? So if we go and get in early will there be a queue for WOC FP's?

    I don't think so. I seem to remember waiting in line to get in right until 10am.

    Just to be picky, the MK is in Florida, while DisneyLAND is in Anaheim.

    But I knew what you meant ;).
