We have not been to DL in over 7 years. We are going to LA for Spring Break this year (last week of March/first bit of April). Yes, I know it is going to be crowded but that is the way the schedule worked..sigh... So we will be at Disney on Friday, April 1.
1. I am thinking that I should buy advance passes to save time--yes?? Best place to buy--online? Costco? They would just be one day passes so I don't think I would be scoring deals on these??
2. I am thinking that I should buy passes just for DL and not a hopper to CA too. (the kids are 13 and almost 11) I am just assuming that with lines and everything, we won't have enough time to do 2 parks in one day. Not to mention, we are not go all day people. My kids will be d.o.n.e. by 4:00 or so.
3. What is new in the last 7 years??? And what is closed?
4. What should we jump on for fast passes?
We are staying at a Residence Inn Anaheim/placentia/fullerton. It looks like we would get on 57 South or North State College Road and then get off on either Ball Road or Katella Avenue. What parking lot do we look for? It looks like the park opens at 8 am that day (or is that just for people staying on site?) I am trying to figure out what is our best strategy for getting there without getting stuck in gobs of traffic. It is 6 miles away and at 8:30 am on a Monday, map quest says it would take us 18 minutes. .
Any other tips?? Thank you!!!!!!
