I felt the same, I am a major planner. I did a lot of reading on these pages, and really my biggest concern was being able to rope drop before lines without the fast pass option. I posted a few posts up what worked for us, but yes be there early at transportation, the worst thing would be hanging and waiting there a bit to hop on early. It’s worth it. Now.... I was worried about lines. Recent reports and YouTube videos made me nervous. While the lines look daunting they aren't. So this has been a great trip (we check out today sadly). The lines look long but the line times in the app tend to be inflated, the distancing in the lines made it enjoyable and not stressful- no people breathing down the neck. It was nice. We are a
Disneyland AP family and love DW but hate the early fast pass planning that’s required here, it was actually not needed this trip, was nice. Go in with the mindset, early to transportation to parks, and just enjoy the journey and magic. We were able to easily ride what we wanted, eat when we wanted, and shop easily. Have fun!
