We need to make a choice. I have reservations at Desert Inn for the second week of August for a good price. They can be cancelled. The plan was 3 day hoppers probably a Thursday to Saturday with a possible day at Universal on Wednesday with a hotel stay somewhere outside of LA Tuesday night as we'll already have a ticket for that. Our youngest is 42 inches so we're really looking forward to riding rides as a family of 5 for the first time.
I teach school and have 3 kids in elementary and preschool, so Halloween means taking time away from school whereas August we're already off. Also cost and time wise we'd probably be looking at a Thursday party in September with Friday at Disneyland and maybe still the day at Universal since we have the ticket. We would probably have to get a hotel for Wednesday night to make sure we could be well rested on Thursday too. Hotels are also more expensive in September, but they're still reasonable for the dates I'm looking at.
Part of me says more time and sooner in August sounds good. Also more Disney time for the money. But we do love Halloween time at Disneyland and have never done a party. I have a Disney Visa so I could purchase tickets tomorrow and it seems the cheaper September days sell out faster. What would you choose?
