Hello! It's been a while since my last Disneyland vacation. Lots of reading to catch up on!
Our previous visits have been during so-called 'off peak' times such as April (Dapper Days x2), May and late September however it's no longer feasible to take DD out of school so it looks like our next trip will be in the summer. We have narrowed it down to the month of August but when in August is the real conundrum. We know it will be crowded but (naturally) we want to mitigate those crowds as much as possible. My preliminary research has me thinking that the week of August 9 - 16 ( Sun to Sun ) might be the best time in the month to go since some school districts are back in session and most annual passes are still blocked. I wouldn't mind waiting until later in the month but with most passes unblocked on the 17th I'm concerned this will have a huge impact on crowds. Do you think this rush will dissipate by the end of the month? It's my understanding that there is a Star Wars Celebration Convention from 27-30 August but I have no idea if that will impact crowds but if it does I'm guessing GE will feel the most impact.
tldr
What days or weeks in August do you think would be the best?
How crowded is really crowded?
Thanks
