Tactical Glossary
The Esplanade
The open space between Disneyland and DCA. Where you stand here before open still shapes the first part of your morning.
Multi-Pass Saturation
The point in the day when too much attraction capacity is going to Lightning Lane returns and standby stops moving well.
Tier 0 Trap
A low-priced date that still feels crowded because locals, expiring offers, or event pressure fill the park anyway.
Single Rider Split
The practical trade where your group separates for speed on a ride that rewards it.
Why terminology still matters
A lot of Disneyland advice gets fuzzy because people use the same words for different things. The point of this glossary is clarity, not insider cosplay.
