Will it be camping out at 1am or arriving a little earlier than usual? I'd like to know before I decide whether or not to take the kids. I've been looking for info on other boards, but can't find much. Any ideas?!!!

Originally Posted By dagobert Yeah, it was the magicforum. I know what you are talking about. That's why I didn't post there for over half a year. For many users over there, Disney can't do wrong and everything at Disneyland is fine. They don't care about the lack of quality in recent years, or about the decline in adult entertainment. It was and still is really frustrating for me. I think Davewasbaloo had the same problem.

The European fan base isn't as strong as the one in the US and we have to take into account that DLRP only exists for 20 years, while the US parks have a much longer history. Many of the old users left and now you can get the impression it's just about characters. At least the upcoming 20th birthday generated more interest in other thins than meet and greets with princesses.
