Okay how many of you line up at the main entrance under a gate that has the sign that says "Exit only"?

I know time and time again I walk up and see a huge line behind the gates marked "Entrance". But knowing they will open all gates, I go and stand in front of a gate marked "Exit Only". People look at you funny while you are doing this, but then when they come and flip all the signs there is a race to the gates that just got flipped and now you are first in line. :fez:

If I ever did that, they wouldn't flip the sign just to spite me. Then I would have a bunch of people looking at me funny and laughing while thinking to themselves, look at that idiot.

It has worked everytime I have tried it. They usually open up all gates at open, so they flip them before they open them.

I thought they only opened even or odd numbered gates.

Believe me, you are overestimating the size of the mousepad's audience in relation to total visitors.

It's amazing the knowledge you can get for free - yet so many don't take advantage of this opportunity.. :)

So true! I’m constantly amazed how so many of my friends who love going to DL and go regularly (by that I mean once or twice a year) have so little “inside information” to be able to take advantage of the “tricks of the trade”.

Even basic knowledge like Fastpass usage, or what Club 33 is or where Walt’s apartment is located might as well be a foreign language to them.

The Disney savvy internet community is a drop in the bucket compared to the massive crowds…which is why so much of this info is still good to know.

I only share this site with people I like a lot that have a genuine interest. If they are too lazy or don't care to research a trip or meet great people on line that is their loss. :eek: Now how bad did that sound..I am not a mean troll usually.

I think they open all the gates only during the summer months. They don't have the staff during off-season to open all the gates.

This has been successful for me no matter what time of year I have gone. I do try to find the gate with the "Exit" sign closest to the gates with an "
Entrace" sign.
