What Do You Want to Do First When it Reopens?

Postby DLandChris » Tue Jan 26, 2021 3:20 pm

Hey everyone! As a Disneyland local I'm anticipating the parks reopening on the West Coast, and I'd imagine others are too. I'm curious what everyone wants to do when it first reopens? And hopefully it can help me narrow down because right now I just want to do everything and will have a hard time deciding where to go first!

I can't wait to just walk in, walk around and enjoy just being in the park, and grab some food!

I have definitely been missing a lot of the food too! Especially Monte Cristo sandwiches.

The first walk down Main Street will be amazing. I'm typically an annual passport holder from Arizona.

Love the West Coast Crew!

I have been missing the smells of Disneyland a lot. I found some companies that make essential oils with them. So, part of going around when it reopens is just to smell stuff haha.

Just walk around the park and take it all in. :)

Probably will go have a Dole Whip and just sit in the Tiki Room queue area.

I will read the sign on the arch, listen to train announcement, grab a favorite treat and find a sweet spot to sit and take it all in.

Can't WAIT till Disneyland opens. I'm and Indiana Native, but grew up in Santa Barbara. Went to Disneyland for the first time in 1979-80? Not sure. I can't wait to go back to the Bayou. Of course, if anyone has a Club 33 membership, and doesn't mind me tagging along, I'm up for it. :)
God Bless, and Happy Disney,

Definitely gotta hit up Haunted Mansion. Assuming it’s not still Nightmare Before Christmas themed, it’s been closed the longest

Naomi, I am so with you. It’s the little things I used to take for granted. I just want to hear that railroad whistle irl.

Just looking to walk under the railroad tracks (through the left side of course) and walking onto Main Street.

I just want to take in the atmosphere and for as much as I can, immerse myself into what Disneyland really is and take my mind off everything going on in every day life. Hearing the music and ambient sounds of the park is something I find very soothing. I think we all need a good distraction.

Just walk in and listen to the joy all around me. The music, the laughter, oh and eating a dole whip!

The first thing I plan to do will be hustling to Batuu. It wasn't open long before park closing, so I've never been! I don't buy much Disney merch, but whenever Kat Saka's reopens, too, I have been dying to get that mouse droid popcorn holder because they're one of my favorite droids.

I will take the train once around the park and disembark in New Orleans to ride Pirates. Pirates has my heart. Anyone else listen to the queue music on a loop while working??

Oh definitely at times amidst other background music from the parks. It's possibly my favorite queue music of all time!

K, this is gonna sound super weird, but I just want to walk in, find a bench, sit and watch, and take it all in!! I just miss being there. I don’t need anything special, I just miss all the magic!!

I’m going to first go onto Main Street, and just slowly walk along it taking everything in until I reach the Castle, at which point I’ll stop and just look at it for a few minutes and think of how badly I’ve missed seeing it and the park itself, then I’ll go through it and go on a ride, probably Haunted Mansion.

First I'll just stand there on main street and soak in the sights/smells of main street and then I'll ride Haunted Mansion a couple of times before I hit up Pirates.
