A few MousePlanet readers have noted that Disneyland seems busier than usual even for this time of year. While Disney does not release attendance figures, Disneyland extended its operating hours three days last week. The park has made additional adjustments for this coming week; a sure sign that they are experiencing larger-than-normal spring break crowds.
To handle the crowds, the Monorail returns to one-way service. Photo by

Tomorrowland remains a maze of construction walls, as the repaving project continues. The Monorail fleet—often consisting only of Monorail Blue—has gone to one-way-only service to help accommodate the crowds.
Dumbo is grounded until April 1. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
Disneyland can feel even busier because of the number of rides closed for rehab. Fewer attractions mean there are fewer lines available to soak up the crowds.
As Disneyland marches towards its 50th birthday, the maze of construction walls and scaffolds is moving slowly towards Sleeping Beauty Castle. Work continues on the interior of City Hall, and has begun on the exterior of the Disneyana/Market House complex. Down the street, visitors can catch a glimpse over the wooden walls of the newly olive tree-free Central Plaza.
Most of the scaffolds have come down from around the City Hall complex.

The ride vehicles have been replaced at Francis' Lady Bug Boogie, although the attraction reopening date is still listed as "to be determined" in the cast member reference guide.

Eligible residents can purchase up to five “2fer” tickets per day with proof of Southern California residency (zip codes 90000 through 93599, or Northern Baja California residents within zip codes 21000 through 22999; valid ID required). “2fer” tickets are priced at the regular one-day ticket prices for the Disneyland Resort theme parks—$47 for ages 10 and up, $37 for ages 3 through 9—and are available at Resort ticket booths as well as at the Disneyland Web site (link).
The first day of use must occur on the date of purchase; the second day of use must occur within 30 days of purchase or before April 30, whichever occurs first.
AAA announced new ticket plans for the Disneyland Resort:
The new prices took effect December 24, 2003, and all tickets include free parking.
“Disney's Wildfire Heroes Salute” entitles active California firefighters, law enforcement and rescue personnel, with proper organization and photo ID, to one free three-day park hopper ticket. They can also make a one-time purchase of up to five three-day park hopper companion tickets for $39 each. Discounted hotel rates are also available at the three Disneyland Resort hotels.
The promotion is valid through March 31, except for blackout dates of February 14 to 16. For more details, visit Disneyland's Disney's Wildfire Heroes Salute Web page (link) or call (714) 520-5069.
Annual passholders can book a room at the Paradise Pier hotel for $59. This offer is valid only on Sunday nights, through March.

Weekend rates and discounts for the Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Grand Californian are higher. Make reservations at 714-956-MICKEY, and ask for rate plan APN. Note: these offers run concurrently. If your trip includes a Sunday night stay, be sure to ask for the lower rate for that night.
You can purchase the Southern California City Pass with Walt Disney Travel Company packages.
A Southern California City Pass booklet includes admission to five separate entertainment options:
Instead of the Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Ticket currently included in California packages from the Walt Disney Travel Company, guests can select a Southern California city's for an additional charge of $47 per pass ($32 per pass for children 3 through 9).
Note: The Southern California City's does not include the $10 ESPN Zone Arena Game Card, or the California package's feature that allows guests to collect multiple Fastpass tickets at once for free in advance.
This package requires a minimum 2-night hotel stay, and includes:
You can book this package through your local AAA affiliate travel agent.
