Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 I do love it at night. Though I know very few people who have the stamina to stay up that late and stay 'til close. *shrug* what can I say I'm a night owl who likes to keep the company of early birds. Oh well

Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 I know it's weird for me to go with peeps who haven't been in awhile or don't go that often. They want to run around and get all the rides done. Me I just like to take it slow and comfortably take my time and do what I feel like and not worry about getting it all in.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 We take it slow and easy too. Since we've had passes we rarely do a whole day. They open at 9:00 on Friday and I'm trying to convince the fiance to get there when it opens and stay till midnight for old times sake but it's not working. LOL. Knowing him we'll get there around 10:30 and knowing ME I'll try to stay till close but after the fireworks I'll be done.
Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney I take it slow with my DD but we are usually thee all day...She takes a two hour nap in her stroller while I look around or sit and people watch. I like getting there when the park opens, as that usaully allows us to do all of the fantasyland rides plus the matterhorn at least once and usually twice in the first hour and a half. Then we can laze around to do everything else, watch the fireworks by IASW and head home~

Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney I love watching them over by IASW..and I think I see almost all of it...I usually sit on the shelves of the cement island that sometimes doubles as part of the IASW ride que. You get a terrific view of the firewroks and the projection that is done on IASW itself. Very cool. And the best part? the last two saturdays I was there, I walked up and sat down about ten minutes before they started (which is a god send with a toddler). She sat in the stroller and it was wonderful~
Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 SleepingBeauty, have you ever watched the fireworks from the Storybook boats? If you time it right and you're on a boat when they start they stop the boats and let you watch the fireworks, then continue the ride when it's over. Fully awesome. So is watching fireworks on Big Thunder if you've not done that.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Never watched from Storybook or Big Thunder. I don't think we ever tried to time it that well. Interesting... Well I'll have to suggest watching from the steps by IASW!
Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 I've never tried IASW I'll have to do that some time. There is nothing like going up the goat hill on Big Thunder during fireworks. It looks like your going to go right into them! And definitely try the Storybook boats. They are directly above you! It's so neat! and nice to have an uncrowded seat on the boat.
Originally Posted By di-tard4life by big thunder dependin on where u are.. its super hard to watch them..plus u dont get to see the fire and the lazers..u dont get the whole effect of the magic!! ..i agree with the last few comments, i take it slow with my pass also ..i rarely get to the park before 11am..and once i was going to do the whole get up and go at 8 am thing also..but it never happend..and just like everyone else i cant make it past fireworks either.

Originally Posted By di-tard4life YEAH that is funny.... its the ones with the kids that cart all there crap around and the non pass holders that can make it til midnight !! lol..
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Yup. I used to be able to go all night when I only went twice a year! When we were kids I remember my parents staying there with us till closing, too. I don't know how they did it!
Originally Posted By di-tard4life they did it for us......cause they know that the magic of disneyland is in us an of course they wanted u to sleep on the way home..
Originally Posted By SBSBelle22 Okay so we were there Sat and Sun and uh I don't know about anyone else, but it was WAY more crowded on Sun than Sat. WTH? is up with that?
