Hello! I posted here last fall when we were planning our March '06 trip and you all were tons of help! Thanks so much. Well, my girls (7 & 3 now) of course are in love with Disneyland and their parents had a pretty good time, too! We are planning a trip the first week of November.
When we scheduled our trip for the first week of March, the park hours were limited and it seemed like a pretty good time to go. Of course, all that fine print "park hours subject to change", etc. When we got there, the park was open until 11pm and it was just CRAZY BUSY! Several CMs told us the public complained and they extended the "spring break" season because more and more spring breaks are getting earlier and earlier. We were disappointed, because the lines were pretty long and it was pretty crowded, but we rolled with the punches and had a good time. We went 2 weeks before our spring break, and in the past we've always had one of the "early" ones. Holy bananas!
Anyway, the first week of November seems like it would be pretty slow?? After Halloween, before Thanksgiving and all the Christmas decorations. We just want to go at a time where we don't have to deal with as many people. Is this a good plan? Or any other suggested times? We did 5 days in the park last trip, which was good because of the crowds. We want to do 3 days this time, and want to go when it is truly "off-season". Any insight?
Thanks in advance,
