Who else thinks August 20th may turn out to be the busiest day in Disneyland resort history?

Not like leap day - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 1:18PM
I think it could very much end up like leap day - Kayoss  69.8 #3401 1:21PM
Nothing can beat leap day - MarshaMouse  2835.6 #16 1:28PM
I though New Years 2012 was more crowded then leapday. - joxua  35.4 #4152 1:37PM
Totally agreeπŸ‘I couldn't even walk on main street that day I was like baby stepping - disneylove7  12.3 #6158 1:50PM
Baby steps to 5:00 - VeloMouseGirl  549.7 #202 6:29PM
Isn't that a Monday? Do people not work Mon-Fri anymore? I'm beginning to think I'm the only sucker that does. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 3:47PM
Ditto! - PrinceTeaJack  786.3 #119 3:57PM
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 😁 - PinkElephants  636.6 #170 9:24PM
I'm still off until after Labor Day!! - LilSterner  2656.0 #17 10:17PM
Congrats, SOS! - joyfulmomma  229.4 #1248 10:22PM
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
N right! - Timsierramist  297.0 #624 2:22AM
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. 😊 - 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
Dido Rick ^^^ - annjay07  134.6 #2526 4:09PM
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 😁 - 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
Yes. - bluefairy  627.1 #174 6:32PM
What's happening on the 20th? - MXPrincess399  482.1 #246 1:18PM
Are you rollin' into town for it, Kayoss? - Sweet_Irish_Cream  2550.6 #22 1:22PM
Sure am! - Kayoss  69.8 #3401 9:18PM
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
Gurrrrllll..... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ - DisneyFanZoe  1096.7 #75 6:08PM
Yeah! I was looking at tix today for at least of those games. Always fun!! - MarshaMouse  2835.6 #16 6:14PM
DfzπŸ˜‚ 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 orderπŸ˜‚ - 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
Bully - PinkElephants  636.6 #170 9:36PM
Strictly the facts ma'am, strictly the facts. - SuperCooper  818.1 #112 10:09PM
Please tell me you're joking - Kayoss  69.8 #3401 1:46AM
What is happening on that day. - Torch3  5.3 #10066 10:19PM
SoCal passes finally get unblocked after almost 2 months! - Jenniferr  428.0 #295 10:22PM
the so-cal ap holders will be unblocked and flood to the parks. - GoofyMom77  108.7 #2922 10:24PM
They let the riff-Raff back in. LolπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ - SueBayou  2012.0 #34 10:28PM
Wow, just in time for the first refurb. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 10:45PM
What refurb?! - Kayoss  69.8 #3401 1:46AM
It's gonna be bad πŸ˜₯ - MsSpeedMcQueen90  43.7 #3889 10:55PM
Evening might be crazy packed but it'll be that Sunday that'll be bad - MarshaMouse  2835.6 #16 6:27AM
What's August 20th? - GarnerPhotography  321.4 #516 6:48AM
Please refer to the second comment above yours, by torch3 :] - MEHlanie_Mouse  690.9 #146 9:43AM
I think DCA will be - Ants5551  27.4 #4500 9:45AM
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  176.7 #1906 10:58AM
