I have gone to this event for many years but this year I came home a little cranky.  The crowds were much larger and many seemed to have left their patience and manners at home. I realize that people are excited when they get to the theme park but using your manners goes a long way when it is crowded.

If you park and ride the tram to the front of the park be sure to listen to the cast members giving instructions.  I saw a number of people not paying attention and were almost hit by cars driving by. Parents hold on to your children.   When it is crowded they hold everyone back by the cars and not by the poles where the tram stops.  Folks, it isn’t the last tram ever!  Look both ways before crossing the street, don’t figure the cast member is talking to everyone but you. Everyone is excited to be at the theme park and a little courtesy from everyone goes a long way to get you to the front of the park quicker. Be prepared for more cars trying to park and it may take a little longer.  This is one of those times I would recommend taking the bus from your Disney resort to avoid the parking lot.
