I regret making reservations in January for 4 weekdays the second week in June. I didn't get my first choice of a hotel room, but felt lucky I got a condo in Yosemite West. Now, not so much. I just discovered Yosemite's Facebook page and the posters are reporting horrible (actually one poster used another h word) conditions in the Park. It's overcrowded causing 3.5 or more hour backups, construction, limited parking spaces, air pollution, shuttles so full you can't get on them. Apparently these are problems unique to Yosemite according to other posters experiences and my own in National Parks. In my opinion, I don't care how magnificent the park is this is not worth it. This is not my idea of a fun vacation. One FB poster said it's worse than the lines in a Disney Park. We considered taking the hit and cancelling the reservation, but we would have to change our airline reservations too. We are going to a wedding and I thought to make the trip more fun we would visit Yosemite. We have been to California numerous times and have seen everything we want to see more than once except for Yosemite. Many people suggest getting an early start to the day; get a parking space; board a shuttle, but guess what that doesn't work anymore. Everybody is on to the early start. We're going anyway. We're mentally prepared for the worse. I don't expect any feedback. I'm just writing this to forewarn people who are considering making the trip.
