Took my MIL who was out visiting to DCA for the first time yesterday and couldn't believe it - THE PLACE WAS PACKED!! It was wall-to-wall people, like a Saturday at Disneyland! You couldn't walk anywhere without having somebody running into you, people not watching where they were going, etc.! Add the smog and the heat and it made for one really bad day at DCA!! :(
I talked to a CM at World of Disney & she figured it was because of them bring the Electrical Parade back, but I don't know. We got to the park around 12:30pm and all the fast passes for Soarin' were out and the wait time was 2 HOURS!! We checked again on our way out, and it was still 2 hours!!
We didn't stay for the EP, cos it was so crowded & people were already camped out everywhere along the parade route for the 8:45 show and it was only 6:30!!
I wasn't one of those who complained about it NOT being crowded at DCA, since I really like having the park basically to myself & being able to walk around unimpeded. I imagine Cynthia & her friends will be very happy with the day's receipts yesterday, but except for the Pin of the Month day, we won't be coming back to DCA until things die down again. It was awful!!
Was anyone else there yesterday? How did your day go? We were only able to make it to two "attractions" yesterday, "Lem-o" and Muppets 3-D, and that was after waiting a very long time. Why do you think it was so crowded yesterday??
