You've passed through the turnstiles, heard the happy little chirp, and you are now standing at the Mickey flower-bed as the Disneyland Railroad leaves for a round-trip circle around the park. Just smell that popcorn! Time to make your way onto Main Street...

Left tunnel or Right?

I generally go to whichever tunnel is closest to the turnstyle I just went through.

But I think the Left one has less stroller traffic.

I must say that the first thought that came to my mind is the tunnel on the right. However next time I go down there I will be forcing myself to go through the left (less trafic and you get to pass by town hall).

Usually the left tunnel.

Just because of all of this obsession with which tunnel, this fall, when I go to WDW, I'm going to switch tunnels, entering as far to the left as possible, passing through the "newsstand" level of the train station, and coming out as far to the right as possible!

We generally go to the left, unless one of us has to use the bathroom, and then we head right. That bathroom is a little closer.

Left every time. No particular reason.

I can't believe this is really a post

Strange thing is I think I usually enter to the right and exit to the right but no particular reason. I used to rent strollers, so perhaps I'm conditioned to go right. Also, you can usually find Mickey and one or two other characters towards the right but I never thought about it before.

Made me smile just to think about entering Disneyland any way I can! :)

I have friends who must go to the right. They are very superstitious about it. They even have to stop and read the plaque out loud before proceeding. We all have our own little traditions.

I generally go to the right when I enter and go to the left tunnel when I exit. But if the other seems less crowded I'll do that one. I like to read the little plaque on my first day in the park as I'm walking under.

Left (that would be west..correct?). Always. I have never entered thru the right tunnel ever. I always exit thru that tunnel also...I have only used the east tunnel to exit once and I have visited the park more times that I can count.

:confused: We generally go to the right, out of habit and the fact that Americans use the right side a bunch. It started because we rented strollers. (The granddaughter is 9 now.:rolleyes: ) I think last year we went to the entrance closest to the turnstile we used. We also ususally exit on the left (or right as you leave) now that we do not have to return a stroller.
You caused me to think!

They even have to stop and read the plaque out loud before proceeding. Not that it takes away from their message, but raise your hand if you know that Walt Disney never even saw those plaques, since they were installed at least two years--and possibly more--after his death.

Anyone?

Always always always left. I exit through the same tunnel every time also. Now that this question is proposed I want to know why I do it. Just my way of entering DL I guess.

I always exit the park on the right (West). I think its more because of how they direct traffic on busy nights, than anything else.

Left tunnel, I just do it because it is a habit.

I usually go to the right, because I have the "Stay to your right side all the way through the walk way please" mantra imbedded within my brain...

But if I'm feeling rebelious I'll go left :~D

Left every time. No particular reason.

Us, too. No reason why, other than that it has become habit.:geek:

Definitely the right side - read the plaque and everything. I've never entered through the left tunnel..... but that's the one I always exit through!

I think the entrance was on the right hand side of Main street in the early days (50's-60's). So my traditional way is enter on the right ... exit was opposite (left). :cool:

Right. We enter to the right. We usually stay at a hotel on harbor. So, we typically go thru turnstiles at that end and just continue to the right.

We usually go left. At first for no particular reason, but now we usually stop at City Hall, so it's a little more convenient.

Strange now that I think about it we have always entered the right, no particular reason it just works out that way. This time I'll try the left just to spice thing up :)

Enter through the right. ALWAYS exit through the left, which is actually the right, coming from the other direction. hehe

And I do exactly the same thing.
