We decided to take advantage of Disneyland’s California residents only (for the time being), reduced capacity and E’s virtual Fridays schedule for the rest of the school year. With the grand opening of the Avengers campus, we chose to spend the day at DCA.

Masks were required the whole day, except in designated areas for eating/drinking.

Hey Woody, I’m back.

Mom, the carousel again? :P

Found out later that Walt Disney’s middle name is Elias!

Crazy daddy!

We actually didn’t get to do this one the last time we were here.

E’s building. :)

Hanging on for dear life before the splash.

Wait times were definitely faster than pre-pandemic — we were able to do a lot of the rides several times but Radiator Springs always had the longest wait. We saved it for the end of the evening.

We didn’t get into the virtual queue for the new Spider-Man Web Slingers ride though both of us logged on at 6:59am and 11:59pm. You will not believe how crazy fast those spots get swooped up! The standby line to get in the Avengers campus was looooooong during the day and we knew we didn’t want to stand in queue for 6-8+ hours like some people had been the past few days… Turns out in the evening, we could just walk right in.

The campus was new and well-done but yea, definitely not worth waiting HOURS for… guess maybe just not huge fans?

E’s feet were pretty sore by the end of the night but we had a good time… We grabbed a quick/late dinner from Downtown Disney and headed back to SD. ‘Til next time!
