our first day is the half day. so we want to decide which park has more so we can spread it out.
The only thing at DCA that can really eat up your day is Radiator Springs Racers. I've heard 2-3.5hr wait in standby line and ~60min wait in the morning for fastpass which usually sells out by 8am. If you can do single rider on RSR, then I would do DCA for the half day and DL for the full day - especially if you have younger people with you and/or plan on seeing all (or as much as possible) of DL.

EDIT: Case in point, at the moment per MouseWait RSR is showing 120 (the highest it goes to, so it could be more), FastPass was sold out by 9:20 (and this is a Monday) and the single rider line is only 25 minutes.

Can I park my donkey here?

Go to Disneyland, there are more attractions to experience and the park really empties out at night.

Another Look at the New Fantasy Faire Coming to Disneyland Park
posted on August 8th, 2012 by Shawn Slater, Communications Manager, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Creative Entertainment

Last week, I told you we would have more to share about the all-new Fantasy Faire coming to Disneyland park, so here’s another treat for you. These pieces of concept art, just released by Walt Disney Imagineering, offer a first glimpse inside the Royal Hall at Fantasy Faire, where you’ll be able to spend time meeting some of your favorite Disney Princesses.

The art gives you a sense of the rich detail and beauty coming to this new corner of Fantasyland. Of course, concept art being just that, some aspects may be subject to change, such as the specific Disney Princesses visiting the Royal Hall on any given day.

The new Fantasy Faire opens in spring 2013. Until then, you can meet Disney Royalty elsewhere in Fantasyland, along the path to “it’s a small world.” Be sure to stop by The Disneyland Story inside the Main Street Opera House at Disneyland park to see this concept art in person, in the “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” section of the exhibit, beginning August 10.

the 2 biggest lines at DCA are going to be Radiator springs racers and Grizzly River Run (its unsually hot). At Disneyland the biggest line is going to be Splash mouantian for the same reason. I would hit Disneyland first. Most of DCA can be done in the afternoon. Especially the bigger rides like CA Screaming and TOT (hint on Tower of Terror, we FINALLY got the motor on charlie shaft so all 3 are running, supposedly we are down to 15-20 minute waits). Soarin is going to be the big fastpass for DCA

“The Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition” captures the magic of filmmaking and gives an exclusive glimpse into the stop-motion animation process brought to life by visionary filmmaker Tim Burton. From original sketches drawn by Burton to extensive props, sets and puppets, the exhibition showcases the artistic detail and vision that has gone into telling the tale of a boy who, inspired by science and the love of his dog, brings his beloved pet back from the dead. Here’s a quick peek:


YouTube Videolink


The exhibition launched in Barcelona, Spain, at CineEurope on June 18, and stops in the U.S. at the Disneyland Resort from September 14 – November 5. When the tour is complete, it will have visited seven countries including Spain, France, England, Japan, Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
Be sure to catch “The Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition” during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort – which also includes Haunted Mansion Holiday, Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy and more!


This movie looks like its going to be really good, I'm excited to see this exhibit!

The article says its in Hollywood Land so I'd think they are going to use the Muppet Vision theater for the sneak peek. So if that's correct, I'd guess this goes into Stage 17 for the exhibit (the sound stage right next to Muppet Vision). From the video, it looks like a decent size; it wouldn't fit inside the cellar and it can't go in Stage 12 cause that's used for the Mad Arcade. Only other location in Hollywood Land is the Animation Building where they did the Snow White exhibit. But again, that space is very small and that exhibit was mostly flats, not big set boxes.

Makes sense, the old Millionaire building would be perfect for this.

Plus it would come with the added benefit of kicking out that atrocious "Dancing with Disney" thing they have in there now.
