Weather and Crowds in December

[faustiano]

Hi Everyone,
I was hoping somone might be able to help with some information for our trip I am planning this December. I am planning on going Dec 26th - Jan 2, and I wanted to know how the weather was and what the crowds would be like? I was there this summer and it was not so bad.

Thank you in advance,
Faustiano

Hello,

Weather is usually in the 60s and sunny that time of the year. During the afternoon it may get up to 70 a couple days, and a night it could fall down into the 40s. There is a slight chance of rain, but usually not that bad. I can not ever remember a rose parade being rained out, so its always nice on the 1st... You can get weather forcasts at: http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USCA0027 I would check before you go just to get a feel for what it will be. I would use this as a guide and pack some other (either warmer or cooler) clothes too just in case they get it wrong.


As for Disneyland crowds all bets are off this year. If anyone says they can predict them they are lying to you. Traditionally the park is packed those days. This year there have been several discount programs and a brand new Annual Pass program that just started so no one really knows what to expect. Add to that the economy and the events of the 11th and its anyone's guess.

I would be willing to be the crowds will be fairly heavy. Probably not as bad as last year though. They had to close the park several times last year due to the high crowds.


Hope that helps you out a bit,
