Monthly mini model build at Disneyland (Anaheim) Store?

[atmail35]

Does anyone go to the MMMB at the Disneyland/Anaheim Store on a regular basis? Is it insane? I'm considering a vacation with the family and it might crossover MMMB date and I'm wondering how crazy it is. I hate to spend more time waiting in line as we will be waiting plenty at Disneyland, but we hate to miss it as well.

What time would you have to get in line to get one? How long is the wait, typically?

I'm crazy right? thanks!

Hi. That store is insanely busy. I have also been to the Natick one, insane lines too. If you do go and stay at the park,it might be easier. If not, if you park at Dowtown Disney (not the Valet) and eat at a sit down restaurant that validates parking it may be easier. There are a couple restaurants around the LEGO store in Dowtown Disney that do validate where you can eat, while you do shifts waiting. They will give you three hours free parking, then you can move your car and stash your purchases....just a thought. The signs say NO THEME PARK parking, by the way. It is the closest parking. If we go for a day while visiting family, we often bite the bullet with the validation and park there all day anyway, and pay the difference minus the 3 hours validation. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. We actually won't be there over the MMB event after all and if we were, it seems although it is not worth using up valuable park time to wait in line for this.

The lines for these have really gotten long. We started in 2010 and you could arrive at 4:30 and be close to the front. Now I'm hearing some people line up 2 hours before. Crazy!

Yes, the lines are too long for us. I am in SoCal a fewtimes a year with a small child and last month went to 3 LEGO stores as well as Legoland, if you need any tips, you can send me a msg or something. Have fun!
