Would everyone say they started letting people in at 6:45? Trying to calculate because we have a FP for 7D from 6:30-7:30..we should be able to make it, no? Losing our FP for Peter Pan but grateful that I chose 7D for the last one
I have
jungle cruise from 5:05-6:05
Splash from 6:10-7:10
Haunted mansion 7:10-8:10
We are going March 1. Should I be changing these now?
I was in the park (have an AP) and we arrived back at the gate at 6:35 and they had already been letting people in. There was a pretty decent queue to get in. I went and asked a CM if aaI could get a lanyard and she brought me to another CM with an iPad. I didn’t have to exit the park and the process took about 2 mins at most. It was annoying to walk against the fireworks traffic but not a huge deal for us.
Okay I’ll wait a bit. Thanks!I would wait until there are a couple more parties. At least one more. By all accounts last night Disney seemed ill prepared for this event.
I would wait too if I were going on your dateOkay I’ll wait a bit. Thanks!
I intend on the park being cleared. I paid for an event where the only people in the park should be other people who paid to be there.I didn’t see any attempt to get non-DAH guests out of the park this year or last. From what I saw all CMs we’re doing a good job checking for lanyards at the ride entrances but I don’t think they intend on the park being cleared. It’s not like a party in that way. That said, most people naturally clear out — no rides and almost no food choices leaves no reason to stay.

I understand but they just don’t do that for DAH. They didn’t last year either.
We were planning on doing the dessert party as well. We are going on a night that DAH doesn't start until 9 PM, so I am thinking about keeping it. When did you go back out and get your lanyard? Before or after the party? That was the one thing I was concerned about. I didn't want to miss the whole dessert party going back out front, but I also didn't want to fight the fireworks crowds to do it either.
What time did you go in?This is my first time doing this event. There was more people then I expected however we accomplished alot with no wait. here is what we did (with a 5 year old in tow and no stroller) in order.

We got a ton done. I wouldnt go expecting it to be empty or expecting empty castle pictures. I would do this again though. It was fun!!

Was Splash closed for last year’s DAH?
I agree! Even if people are not being allowed on rides, it is difficult to move around & get to different lands & attractions if there are lots of people hanging around. And that eats into time we have to get rides done. Disney’s website states “when the crowds clear & the gates close”. Sounds like they are promoting it as a closed/ empty park to me.
