Originally Posted By FerretAfros It is fairly crowded, but the crowds more and the lines aren't too bad. Last weekend, Space and Splash were about 100 minutes at most, and the rest of the big attractions were around 30 minutes. I didn't do Autopia, but I would suspect it was about an hour. It was not the most crowded I have ever seen the park, but it was up there. Also, there were TONS of characters out there. I saw several that I don't think I've ever seen in person before (Mary Poppins and the Queen from Snow White) along with many that I haven't seen in a long time, like the Tweedles. I would say go for it, but just expect it to be a little crowded.

I've vowed never to go during Spring Break, but this was the least crowded I, personally, have seen it since the 50th kicked off (8 or 9 trips). Anyway, 'spur-of-the-moment' trips always work out best for us.

Originally Posted By Westsider DiseyDad<< "One of the cast members said that on Wednesday there were 77 Thousand in the park." That's impossible. They close the turnstile once the in-park gets to around 45,000. And that's usually a 65,000 to 70,000 kind of day. It would be near impossible to get 77,000 there all day, let alone in the park at one time. Knowing what the attendance was like last week during the weekdays, that 77,000 number was probably a combination of the total daily attendance of Disneyland and DCA; with Disneyland getting around 55,000 each day and DCA getting 20,000 to 22,000 each day. But then, that's an odd thing for a CM to come up with, so that make me think the CM you were talking to was just making stuff up to impress tourists or was given some seriously flawed info from another CM who was probably making stuff up. Sometimes I wish my fellow CM's would just learn to smile and stick to info they know about, like how much churro's cost, when the next parade is, or how long until the Mark Twain gets back to the dock. Too many of them out there know very little about attendance info, and the info they get is just made up in break rooms by kids that have worked there six months who are trying to impress the other kids who have worked there for three months. Funny, but true.

Originally Posted By darkangel4evr2u I went on a tuesday and it seemed the normal crowded self. I thought it would be more cowded since we went shortly after the 50th kicked off. The only long lines to attractions I saw was Indiana Jones and Splash was about over a 100 minutes. I was totally surprised that we onyl had to wait well under 30 mins to get to Star Tours. I don't mind the crowd much I know they'll always be there lol
