Disneyland is known as a locals park. I have heard estimates of around 1 million Annual Passholders for the Disneyland Resort. AP’s visit the park daily and the streets are crowded and lines are long. AP’s love the parades and fireworks. They line up with their blankets, board games, cards, and iPads to pass the time while the wait for hours on the curb. AP’s love to see openings or re-openings first or be the last ones to ride if the ride is closing. They will line up outside the gates early to be the first to see the new ride, show, or parade! Some Disneyland Facebook groups having running jokes on how crowded it will be. The real answer is: Disneyland is ALWAYS crowded! But, I have a few tips on how to beat those crowds and enjoy your day or your vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth.
