We only have 2 days at the parks, so we won't want to waste alot of time sitting and waiting- and because of that we may have to skip the parade altogether - but I'd really rather see it. Another question- can you tell me what the hours are at Whitewater Snacks? For this coming Sunday, Monday and Tuesday? (Sunday we will visit Downtown Disney only and may just grab something to eat there) Part of me is thinking about trying to go into Disneyland alone just so I can ride IASW once - hubby has only a 2Day Parkhopper - I have an AP- and if I understand correctly, Small World will be closed the next day so we would miss it otherwise. Any help from you all would be so appreciated, I sure love LP when I have questions!

You can wander around the main area until they officially drop the rope at 10am. So you can shop or eat or just stand and wait to make the mad dash for your first ride. lol.

About a year or so ago, I asked one of the 'security' people at the bag search area this question. I couldn't remember if it was a half hour or an hour early. Two young CM's looked at me with dismay and assured me that this was not the case. 'MS never opens early', one of the young girls said. I knew they were wrong, politly told them and waited in line. Of course, the gates opened 1/2 hour prior to the 'official' opening. I'm amazed at these two people, but I won't make any snide comments. This reminds me of last weekend... Dying for a cup of coffee, stopped at Starbucks, only to find out that they had no brewed house blend ready. I politely asked what they did have ready to go. She stated that there was only decaf. I asked her, 'why? Her response........Well, we usually stop brewing coffee at 2. I was speachless. Ugh......where do these ppl come from. I smiled and left.

I have a toe that needs surgery and pain in my knees, etc. from RA, so we kinda take it easy! I still love Disneyland, despite the fact that my body can no longer handle the 45-hours-of-Disneyland-in-3-days types of trips my sister and I did 20 years ago!! Anyone else have the hours for Whitewater at GCH? Or advice about parade seating or anything else?
