I'd say most people want to be there during those hours the park is usually closed. - toph 2398.9 #26 9:35AM
City Hall has said there will be a waiting area for those who choose to wait from park closing on the 28th till the park opens on the 29th at 6am. I am prepared to camp over night! Park will open at 5:30, for a few thousand guests for the rope drop and then additional guests will be allowed to enter the park. It all depends if you wish to be physically in the park at 6 am. - MirrorMirror 14.2 #5793 10:50AM
Search leap day or 29, there are tons of posts about it. Unanimously, we're thinking pretty dang busy. - cynDOLEwhip

I think it's going to be fun busy! Dress warm and bring a good attitude. Endless amounts of coffee from the market house may help as well ;) - BlackCanary86

I'm assuming crazy busy. I'm really looking forward to bringing my warm snuggly jacket, people watching and soaking up the excitement (it wouldn't hurt if the bf proposed that night too but yeah know...ahem...is he reading this?). π - supertracy

My friend and I are going but we are planning on just people watching. The only real thing she wants to do is the Haunted Mansion at 3 in the morning. - elmickeyman

Very busy...That's why I am hoping for Rain. It looks like rain is coming on the 1st instead of the 29. - VfxGenie

We know that lots of people are planning to go, but it's almost impossible to know exactly how busy it'll be, since there aren't any past records to look at. My guess is that the crowds might depend on weather issues, also--even many of the diehards will get tired, grumpy, and cold if it's raining at 3 am. Plan on crazy crowds, and if there aren't any, you'll be pleasantly surprised. - Spoonful_O_Sugar

My bf and I were planning to go after I get out of class at 8pm and staying till 6am too! But the crowd speculations are scaring me away haha - Andrie 158.5 #2167 9:32AM
I say you go anyway!!! And if the crowds are really bad where you can't take it then you can leave. I would hate to cancel plans only to find out crowds weren't as bad as everybody was predicting - MozPrincess 577.4 #189 9:51AM
Very True =] plus, when will this happen again right? Haha I wanna be there for all the excitement π - Andrie 158.5 #2167 5:35PM
Zippity and I were going to go together but we were talking today and think we shouldn't go. I don't get off work until 130 and then we have to both drive an hour. It just might be too crowded. I'm super sad!!! - ohhhtoodles
