    I just wanted to clarify something in the comments. I used to work there and I can guarantee you that 80% of the rides breaking have nothing to do with maintenance and everything to do with guests misbehaving and us having to stop the ride (break it down) for the safety of that one person. That’s why there are height requirements, that’s why there are safety spiels (that are typically ignored), that’s why there are age requirements of children riding alone, that’s why there are lap bars and seat belts. I can personally say I broke a ride down because I watched a mother watch her child climb out of the lap bar of a roller coaster and he stood up. We couldn’t say “Guests broke the ride” so we say vague things to maintain the illusion that “customers are always right.” So, next time you’re frustrated that a ride is broken and you’re about to yell at the poor kid that makes close to minimum wage, remember that they probably just saved a life and will never be thanked for it. Just screamed at.

    Also, if you want light crowds. Go when it rains or when people are in school. A rainy February, March, April, September, or October (that isn’t a Halloween Party) day is fine. Especially Tuesday, Wednesday (the golden day), or Thursday. Do your basic research and you should be good. Showing up blindly when a new ride or parade is debuting in the middle of peak season is going to make it a rough time.

    Disneyland is garbage. For the amount of money you pay you would think that the maintenance on the rides would keep them from breaking down. It’s been open now for 33 min and so far no jungle cruise no indiana Jones no big thunder mountain and no Pinocchio ride. WTF!!! And it’s getting packed as s***!!! I can’t believe I missed a day of work for this crap!!! Disney f***en sucks!!!!

    Mid-March is when the Spring Break season crowds start arriving, but it’s better to go then than in late March when more schools are out.

    Question…Planning to go sometime in March. How crowded is it towards the middle or end. I have noticed on here that it is saying “yup its packed”. How packed isit and what are line wait times? Any redcomentions?

    Disneyland is selling highly discounted tickets to local residents right now. It’s usually empty around this time of the year, but the ticket offer is making the park very crowded. I would avoid this place!
