I was very disappointedon our trip to Disneyland for our senior trip. First of all, we got inside an hour or so late.
Me and my friend only got to go on 4 rides, and we were there for about 5 hours! The lines were SO long, even though it was just graduates that night.
And to end a bad night...my bus passengers were suppose to be back at our bus BY 5am. So were a lot of other people. When me and my friend were leaving they had the exists blocked off with rope, little gates and then 2 people gaurding it! A sign in front of the rope said we were not allowed to leave UNTIL 6am! Tons of people (including adult chaperones) told the peopel gaurding the exists we had to be back at the buses by 5 o clock. They still didn't let us go.
Pretty soon, hundreds of students were crowding behind the rope, all of who were late getting back because of these people! They told us they had to get radio confirmation (in case hundreds of people were lying about havgin to leave). They didn't get it til 5:15! Me and my friend had been standing there for over and hour! I was freezing and our feet hurt. We didn't get to the buses til about 5:30-5:35.
The people didn't even apologize for making us all really late. I mean, everyone tells us we are adults now...but they keep us locked in Disneyland gates like animals because they think we are lying! Doens't make sense to me.

I was a little afraid there would be long lines. Lately, Disney theme parks have been getting a lot of flak for the lack of quality treatment they show to customers.

Sorry to hear that you had such a bad time. I've only been there once and did find the lines rather long, but there are lots of rides so it spreads the people out a bit.
I also don't understand whey they didn't just let you go and also if you had been told to be back at 5 and there wasn't a crowd of people at the bus by 5.05 why didn't the people controlling who got on the buses coming to have a look to see where all the people were?

The question you bring up actualyl came up! I asked my friend that. I told her when people don't show up they would come looking for us. But they didn't. I think they knew what had happened though because they weren't upset when we were late.
One of our chaperones gave us his cell number in case of emergencies and me and a couple of other people from my bus tried calling him but he never picked up.
