Yes I am intending on bringing lots of park maps from DLP as well as some special treats (like DLP specific pins) to give the CMs I meet along the way my own sprinkle of pixie dust (if you see me say hi and you can have some too - I’ll be wearing DLP specific merch including spirit jerseys etc)
DLPs castle is a sight to behold and I hope you’ll get to see it one day too it is by FAR my favorite one!
Anyway I have done some research on previous years and splash is only ever open in February after a very lengthy refurbishment the year prior - and with Grizly River Runndown for refurb in DCA I’m hoping to be in luck...
But if not there is so much to see and do (AND EAT) that maybe it’s a good thing it’ll be closed because I would probably just spend a day riding it!
I’m excited to see the valentines celebrations I’m just wondering if crowds will really be as busy as crowd calendars are predicting?
How cool of you to bring the fun DLP stuff! If I see you I will definitely say hi. I think the DLP castle is often ranked as the most beautiful and I can see why!
Let’s cross fingers for Splash, my big fear is that they will be getting the park in tip-top shape for the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge premiere. And thus they may go ahead and put it in refurb. Although to be honest, I’m such a wimp when it’s cold I may not ride it much if it’s at all windy or cold, lol.
But yes, already plotting and trying to decide which food to eat, hahaha! We always have to have fried chicken, churros, one of the New Orleans Square restaurants, and something nice for our anniversary dinner like Carthay or Napa Rose.
In my experience, it is pretty busy because Valentine’s Day is fairly crowded (especially at restaurants) and that Monday is Presidents‘ Day. Lots of people take the weekend and Monday off. But I actually haven’t checked the crowd calendars yet. They tend to be not as accurate for Disneyland, so I take them with a grain of salt. It’s not as busy as Christmas week or New Years, tho. Which is my benchmark for crowds.
