When I asked at the front of the line, they said 10

Zoo was posted at 90… it’s going to be about an hour.

Line moved pretty slow. Seems they’re doing the flashlights, even though it’s before 11. Have they changed that? (Still not in it yet)

Those opening credits scared the crap out of me as a child

Wait time was posted as 75, but we actually waited just over 15

Time for one of our faves (though we still miss Dark Ride)

He is an inspiration to us all 😛

Got in just after 7. Walked right on to Chilling Chambers, Grimoire, and Room 13. Now waiting for the sexy circus performers 😁

While we usually have a great experience here, sadly, tonight the food took well over an hour to arrive. Wait staff was very apologetic, but we are just finishing dinner at 7pm when we arrived at the restaurant by 5:30 (and we had ordered the moment we saw our waiter)

Knott’s Scary Farm. Arrives at 5:15, and was able to park in the Preferred Parking lot with our Prestige pass.

Eating dinner at The Kitchen in the hotel, and it’s busy! They said 40 min wait, though it took about 15.

Amusing to see some Halloween props being stored in the hotel parking lot 😄

Is this still on sale at Disneyland/World of Disney?

There's multiple locations throughout the park where you can get them--that one gets crowded because it's right in the front of the park. They have one right up the hill near Conjuring/Tatsu, and hardly anyone goes to that one. Same with many of the other locations

We found the price does vary... we went on a Friday night, and the pass was only $30

Screaming Swings are surprisingly sparse in the West (there's none in California that I can think of), so this will likely be a welcome addition.

But hard to resist Pink Pony Club 💗

She sounded great doing a cover of Barracuda (Heart)!

I don't blame the management as much as the shitty placement and logistics of the queue

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t know, but it sure seems to happen a lot

Rideguy70 @rideguy70.bsky.social · 2d

When I walked past it last night, it looked pretty full. While I don’t know if I’d ever a full pizza, some of the slices seem pretty doable. Still expensive, but it’s like getting good at the airport… you’re paying for the convenience

That's one way to get a boner

It was, but that’s what I expected

Not only was the M&C dry, but it was also pretty bland. The fish crackers helped, but overall, a miss for me
