Starting Aug. 20th, I work Mondays through May 27, 2013, excluding holiday breaks. :) C'mon summer break 2013! - susieQzee 480.7 #247 4:04PM
I usually work every day but Sunday. You are not alone. - Alicewhoareyou 536.0 #209 5:16PM
I beat u suzzie, I start August 14-May 2013 - MarshaMouse 2835.6 #16 5:25PM
It was a great summer, wasn't it, Marsha? I'm already ready to do it all over again. - susieQzee 480.7 #247 5:27PM
Omg! My husband finally got promoted to a M-F 9-5 position about a month ago. He has always had a crazy schedule ever since we started dating. I cannot tell you how nice it is to have evenings, weekends, and coffee together on the morning now! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.2 #285 6:03PM
Sucker right here also π - PinkElephants 636.6 #170 9:24PM
I'm still off until after Labor Day!! - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 10:17PM
Is it weird that I don't like working Mon-Fri? I miss my Sun-Thu schedule - LBChica 1500.3 #52 10:26PM
@susieQzee and @marshamouse i got both you ladies beat. we started july 25 and will end june 7 :( but the extended spring/fall/winter breaks make up for it. :) - thinkhApPytHoughts 223.8 #1308 11:10PM
LBC...I don't think I would mind Thurs-Sun. It's so much easier to run errands and go places during the week! - LaneSparrow316 846.9 #108 9:39AM
That's exactly why I prefer Sun-Thur. It was great to run errands and get doctor's appointments on Fridays. And go to DL. π - LBChica 1500.3 #52 10:18AM
Why? What's happening August 20? Are blockouts over? - Spoonful_O_Sugar
436.2 #285 1:19PM
Yes, the "Great Black-out of the Summer" is lifted. :) - joyfulmomma 229.4 #1248 10:24PM
Its the first day all southern California APs will be able to experience Cars Land - Kayoss
69.8 #3401 1:20PM
Ah, well then you could be right. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.2 #285 1:21PM
unless they went before they got blocked out. - tuesday737 1076.5 #78 1:22PM
I think several people will be waiting till Friday. I know I am. I don't want to take my son after a long first day back to school. - aidensmama 336.5 #445 1:31PM
No we were blocked before carsland opened so yes carsland will be extra crowded and yes we will be there on the 20 th and 23rd lol - annjay07 134.6 #2526 3:43PM
Cars Land opened Mid June and So Cal APs got blocked out towards the end of June. - RickChavez 2186.6 #30 3:47PM
Why are people arguing this point? Unless you bought tickets to one of the events or got into a preview somehow, Cars Land opened on June 15th and Southern California Select passes have been blocked out until June 20th. There are at least 600,000 people waiting for August 20th. If even 10% decide to come on August 20th it's going to be crazy busy. - Kayoss 69.8 #3401 6:26PM
@kayoss are u saying that us the people that have Socal select AP dont kno when we got blocked? We got blocked June 5th and can't go back until August 20th. - annjay07 134.6 #2526 10:55PM
I have a southern California select ap too!! I know when we got blocked! Erase June 20 th and replace it with August 20 th - Kayoss 69.8 #3401 1:42AM
Lol that what i meant by us lol 6 days left!!! Just went to get glow with the show tix last night! Didn't want them to run out by the time we get there on the 20th π - annjay07 134.6 #2526 6:07AM
Maybe it's a good thing students return to school that day. I wasn't looking forward to it until now. - susieQzee
480.7 #247 1:24PM
Be sure to hang onto your cash Kayoss. I'd be sad if you went hungry again. - DisneyFanZoe
1096.7 #75 5:33PM
Does anyone know if you can pay for the Starbucks inside DCA with your Starbucks card? Or can you only get points added? - Kayoss 69.8 #3401 6:29PM
Have fun!! Even if it's crowded, it's a whole lot better than not being there! : ) - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 9:47AM
Not unless it's a free entrance day, I doubt it'll make a record - MarshaMouse
2835.6 #16 1:29PM
Well if the official opening of Carsland didn't get any posts about it being busier than Leap Day, I doubt the unblocked APs are going to really make that much of a difference - cesium55
529.7 #216 1:31PM
I was there at Carsland opening day and Leapday, but I say New Years was the most crowded I've ever seen. - joxua 35.4 #4152 1:41PM
I'll be there from the 19th of Aug. to the 24th of Aug. Was thinking since some of the students in SoCal has headed back to school, the park shouldn't be as busy as it was the first few weeks of Aug. - Sleeping_Beauty
79.4 #3281 1:51PM
My family and I are gonna be there too. We figured it would be a good time to go since kids were going back to school but I didnt think to look at the blocked dates for APs. I hope its not going to be crowded. I think planning on seeing carsland on the 19th would be a smart idea. - flores509 200.3 #1624 2:22AM
But technically, I'll be in SoCal from 18th Aug - 24th Aug. First day there would be to take a half day tour (with hubby and the kids - their very first time in SoCal) of L.A. then head to Downtown Disney in the evening. - Sleeping_Beauty
79.4 #3281 1:53PM
I'm not too worried about that week since it seems like a large portion of schools are going back, at least during the days. After school hours; it may be different... - rebray10
245.2 #1054 2:09PM
I think only carsland will be packed because so cal select ap hasnt seen carsland... - annjay07 134.6 #2526 3:45PM
I'm hoping they all stick to Carsland and keep DL a ghost town lol! - Disneycrazymom
99.5 #3041 5:14PM
The light crowds in Disneyland were an unexpected delight during Carsland's first few days. - joyfulmomma 229.4 #1248 10:26PM
Is that Bat's Day? I never understood why they would pick a day in August when it's usually super hot. My cousin said maybe they do it then to weed out the posers. - nerdgirl
25.8 #4597 5:30PM
O.o I think bats day already passed.. - MEHlanie_Mouse 690.9 #146 5:34PM
It was a couple of months ago, not that many Bats, but those who were there looked great. - secretagentangel 669.6 #154 6:33PM
Good thing I'll be at the Dodger vs Giants game!!! - toph
2398.6 #26 5:34PM
i may take time off from work for that game so I won't be distracted from the MW taunting posts lol. - madsdad 1124.6 #73 5:54PM
Yeah! I was looking at tix today for at least of those games. Always fun!! - MarshaMouse 2835.6 #16 6:14PM
Dfzπ marsha if you end up there meetup! disneybird and fam hooked me up! madsdad we'll depend on you to keep this rowdy place in orderπ - toph 2398.6 #26 6:33PM
Is there something special going on that day? - minnieteacher
60.8 #3564 6:46PM
Thats what I was thinking...... - tiggertwin 317.8 #531 6:36PM
First day all passes are valid if I remember correctly. - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 9:21PM
I think it will be busy boo - minniel0verβ’
204.7 #1557 6:45PM
AP blockout days determine crowd patterns at Disneyland Resort. As a general rule, Saturday is least crowded day of the week during non-summer hours, primarily due to southern California ap holders. I think the 20th will be a madhouse... But I'm still going! I can't freaking wait... I've waited long enough!!!! - Kayoss
69.8 #3401 9:22PM
@Kayoss Are you taking the bus this time? - Dizkid
284.2 #705 9:28PM
I am taking the bus. I have to leave LA at 5 to get there by 6:30 to get in my early entry. And you all know how I like to be entered as early as possible! - Kayoss 69.8 #3401 1:46AM
I heard that bus drivers are voting on a potential strike on the 19th. - SuperCooper
818.1 #112 9:35PM
Don't a lot people start school that day?...I'm sure Disney chose that date with that fact in mind. - rebray10
245.2 #1054 9:59AM
Gee, I hope so too. Even so, I'm planning on going the Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably won't avoid too much crowd-age though :-( - sarahnimal 180.0 #1863 10:02AM
Why will it be so busy?? - annamichelle
