I'm trying to decide when to go. Originally, I had planned for 6/10-17. But after reading how crowded, the parks are and considering it's the Summer season I'm having second thoughts. I'm remembering my last trip to DL in March, 2005. It was our Spring Break and turned out to be Easter as well so it was VERY crowded. I was disappointed by the long lines seeing how my kids are small (6, 4, 1), we couldn't wait for 45 min. to an hour for rides. We didn't end up doing as much as we had hoped.
Okay, now for the next trip I do not want a repeat of our last trip. I know Summer is popular but I was thinking that it won't be too crowded yet since it's early in June. Am I wrong to think that? Has anyone gone at that time in the past? June is a good time for us b/c it's right after school ends and before Summer camp begins.
Now, I do not like to pull my kids out of school. But I'm considering early October b/c I think the crowds will be gone by then. Weather will still be warm so kids can swim. I believe 50th celebration will still be going on. But will Disney cut back on shows, parades, park hours and such compared to the Summer months? We loved the shows, parades, fireworks, hotel swimming pools. They were the highlights of our last trip. Has anyone gone in early October in the past?
One thing I do know for sure is that we'll be staying at GC this time. It was just too hard at the end of the day to walk back to DL Bonita Tower with three very tired kids. Of course, DH and I ended up carrying them back to the hotel. We would walk past GC and I wished that was our hotel.
So if you were my shoes, when would you go?
