I'm happy that Disneyland has attractions like "Indiana jones" & "star tours". Stuff that is adventurous & there is no big drop involved (splash, ToT). I like BTMR since no extreme drop and the right amount of thrill.

D23 expo question? How early do you have to fall in line to have a good spot or at least get in the keynote/legends ceremony? Really considering to go this year even just one day.
Depends on the size of the venue (conference rooms of all sizes to the convention center arena) & the perceived popularity of the presentation. I went to 2 arena presentations & got in line 30-45 mins before start time, got fine view but they have huge screens. I also missed out on being in the room for a presentation but they had a feed to an overflow room. I'd say at least 15 mins before but if celebrities will be there, at least 30, hope that helps! Regardless you'll have a good time-it's a Disney expo! :) - MinnieYooHoo
