Okay so let me get this straight because I have a hard time believing Disney would be this crazy...
So Cinderella's Castle is under refurb until "Spring 2019". This means that there can't be any fireworks or parades. Also, Fantasmic is going under refurb until "Spring 2019". Also WOC is down until "early 2019".
I don't know what "Spring 2019" means and I think they are being intentionally ambiguous but Spring break for most of the country starts mid march ( March 17th.) This is when naturally, DL will have a huge influx of visitors. It is also when the Food & Wine festival takes place.
Are you telling me that Disneyland will have NO castle, NO nighttime parades, NO Fantastic, and NO WOC during a PEAK SEASON?? AND with a FESTIVAL going on??
There's no way they could have planned all these simultaneous significant closures at their highest profit season. I'm no marketing major but on top of that, Galaxy's edge is probably opening in June or July which means an insane amount of people ON TOP of the normal ultra-packed Summer season. To have walls up around the castle AND have NONE of the popular nighttime events (fireworks, Fantasmic, parades, WOC) during the Spring break will make thousands of people change their vacation plan until the SUMMER (when the next extended school break is) which, combined with the normal summer vacationers crowd AND the Galaxy's Edge crowd will make DL be like Christmas crowd levels on steroids.
I cant believe they would plan this so badly!
PLEASE tell me at least SOME these events will be OPEN in time for Spring break. I've been to DL and WDW many times - I go every year so if it were just me, I wouldn't care so much. Last time I was at DL they were refurbishing main street trolley tracks so no parades but they still had Fireworks and Fantasmic which leveled it out.
But this time I am bringing my mom who hasn't been since the 80's when my parents would take us as kids, and she always has to listen to me bugging her to go back and see how much its changed.
Also I'm bringing my 6 year old nephew who has never been to Disney at all and just listens to the stories his cousin (my 5 year old) tells him from her trips.
I'm taking them during spring break and it absolutely sux if all of those events are down AND they can't even get a picture of the castle -_-.
I've been talking so much to the about how amazing DL is and when I finally get to take them the best parts are going to be down??
Ugh.
If that's the case I could just change the dates to the Summer but, as I said, the crowd levels are going to QUADRUPLE what normal Summer Crowds are because of GE and people who, like me, put off their Spring Break vacation because of all the closures, and that wont be a fun "first experience" for them either...
