im going to dlr and dca soon and i need some answers to my questions! here are the q's!

1. can you only get fastpasses with the anual passes? and any other season pass thingy's lol??

2. dlr closes at 12 pm/am and dca closes at 9 pm, so if you had a park hopper and u went to dca til closing and then you wanted to go to dlr, could you still get in the park or is it close to ppl coming it but there is still ppl in the park?

3. what are the 5 rides with the longest lines at dlr?

4. what are the 5 rides with the longest lines at dca?

5. is the finding nemo ride worth a 4 hour wait even if your only at the park for 1 day?

6. how do you get the finding nemo vmk panflet things?

7. when you get the magic mirror in the magic shop, do you only get it 1 per magic item you bought and if so do you have to ask for them or they ask you or the just put them in the bag?

8. cali screamin doesnt open til 1 pm on weekdays due to the construction on toy story mania, does anyone know if there is any other rides closed not also due to this but bc of anything else?

9. the theaters in the parks, both dlr and dca, if there are any, if i were to go see potc 3 there do you have to pay or is it free bc it's included from the ticket prices?

10. can u still get the red penny press? and if so what store do you get them from?

Wow. Lots of questions. I'll try to answer them the best I can, since I just went on Monday.

1.) Nope, as long as you have any ticket to get into the park you can use those for the fastpass machines to get a fastpass ticket for that certain ride. It just has to be the admission ticket or if you do have an annual pass, then that will work too.

2.) If you mean go to DCA until closing then "hop" on over to DLR, then yeah you can do that. There's only a three hour difference and DLR wouldn't be closing that fast anytime soon.

3.) Hmm. For a fact, a definite fact the new Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage is a VERY long line. On Monday they even had signs posted up saying, "This is the 60 minute mark..this is the 130 minute mark..etc". Since you're going soon, it still might be a long line. Depending on the day you go (if it's busy) a lot of the line's will be at least 30+ minutes. Space Mountain was long as well, but getting a fastpass helps.

4.) DCA..when I went the lines were much, much shorter than DLR. California Screamin had a long line when I went, but I advise you to get fastpasses for that. As I said before, it usually depends on how many people there are in the parks that day.

5.) Hmm..from at young teen's point of view I wouldn't say it's worth it. Yeah, it was nice to experience the whole submarine-feeling and the new additions but even though I never got to ride the original one it wasn't totally worth it. When I went, we met up with another family (by surprise) and they offered to stay in line while some of the kids hopped on other rides in Fantasyland or nearby and then switched so we wouldn't have to wait the entire time for 4 hours. :)

6.) You have to be in line, and from what I saw a castmember goes by the line and offers you one. I didn't get one because I was going to get in line for the Matterhorn but it's a nice little activity to do while waiting but you don't get any VMK prizes which is a bummer.

7.) Hmm. I didn't do this last time but when I did it once last year I bought one item and they gave me one card. I guess if they're nice enough and you're nice to them they might give you more. I'm not completely sure though, sorry!

8.) I don't think I know of any other rides, sorry!

9.) Theaters? I know there's an AMC theater in Downtown Disney (which you'll most likely have to pay for) but I don't know of any theaters inside the parks.

10.) There is a store in Adventureland..Winnie the Pooh's Closet? Something along the line of Winnie the Pooh but I don't fully know if they still give it out. :)

Hope I answered all your questions. Have a great time!

Any store that sells pins.

15. can u bring camera's on rides or do you have to sneak them on?
You can bring cameras. Just can't use the flash. Not only is it annoying and distracting to others riding, most of the time, the photos never turn out. Some rides use projection, while others use lit scrim. Flashes just don't work.

16. is there any other vmk items i could get still?
Animator's Desk at the Animation Building. Magic Mirror from the Magic Store. Nemo Quest/Activity Booklet from Subs (depending on when you go, the Sub Middle card may be available)

Anyways, so yeah and it was worth it :)
6. They hand them out in line.

$14 per box (2 randomly assorted pins per box)

18. does anyone have any pictures from the vmk innoventions place?
Hmm... Not much to see in there. Try the Wiki?

19. is the year of the million dreams promotion still going? like where the cm's walk around and give stuff?
All year ;-)

20. where do u get the animator's desk and exactly how do you get it?
Animation Studio in DCA. Walk up to the podium inside the building, and ask for a card. Sometimes they make you participate in the drawing class. Sometimes they make you sing and dance. Sometimes they hand you cards and send you on your way. Depends on who is working.

Like I said, depends on the CM on duty.

Yes. Get a job in attractions...

22. with the nemo ride and getting prizes, do you think you can keep getting in line and recieveing the prizes? or they'll probably scan your ticket and do the 90 day thing
No scans. They will hand them out (most likely) as they did with the Monster's Inc. Doors.

23. in innoventions when u do trivia, can u win things from past quests and rewards? and if so does anyone know what some or all of the prizes are?
Well, there are no more trivia questions anymore. They used to hand out credits, mostly. With a few quest items mixed in. Gone, now.

Jacques
06-27-2007, 04:47 PM
They may still have the game terminals, but with the booth gone, I'll wager the trivia will be going soon too, if it hasn't already.

24. what are the usual costs of mickey ears and is the engraving free?

25. is there a thing where u dont have to carry what u bought all day? like they send it to your hotel room.? i remember seeing it in a disneyland magazine once.

26. do they still sell that california screamin model? and if so how much does it cost?

Jacques

The costs vary upon the style you get. And the embroidery is included in the price.

25. is there a thing where u dont have to carry what u bought all day? like they send it to your hotel room.? i remember seeing it in a disneyland magazine once.
Yes. You don't even have to be staying at the Disneyland Hotel. There is a 'newsstand' at DLR's entrance (left side, towards Group Sales) that will hold your purchases until you are ready to leave.

26. do they still sell that california screamin model? and if so how much does it cost?
I can't help you there. Never heard of it.

27. do they still have the thing with the finding nemo ride, where the people in line, the park will stay open an extra 2 1/2 hours for the people waiting in line. i heard that this was for the opening day and maybe through out the whole summer, is that true? and if so when would this end?

28. with the finding nemo quest cards now out, can you just walk up and get them or do you have to wait in line.

29. also with the finding nemo stuff do they scan your ticket for it?

As of closing yesterday, the line was only about a half hour. If you're in line at park closing, you ride.

28. with the finding nemo quest cards now out, can you just walk up and get them or do you have to wait in line.
Just walk up and ask.

29. also with the finding nemo stuff do they scan your ticket for it?
There is no more quest booth. No more scanners. No more VMK station. Just a free handout with a card.

what do you mean u ride? so if the park closes and your still in line, you still get to wait in line and ride?

i know that ive asked this before but i want to ask again bc ive seen some people have gone recently so i wanted to make sure, do they still have the vmk computers in innoventions?

Jacques
07-08-2007, 04:47 AM
what do you mean u ride? so if the park closes and your still in line, you still get to wait in line and ride?
Let's say the park closes at 12:00. You get in line at 11:00, and the wait is 1 1/2 hours. At 12:00, they stop letting anyone new into the line. But since you are already in the line, they don't kick you out. They continue running the ride until the line is clear. Make sense?

i know that ive asked this before but i want to ask again bc ive seen some people have gone recently so i wanted to make sure, do they still have the vmk computers in innoventions?
Last time I checked, they did. But that may change at any moment.
