We go the week between Christmas and New Years every year and love it. I think it depends on what your expectations are. For people that are used to going to DLR during off-peak times, it's probably a nightmare. For those of us that are used to going when the park is at capacity and are prepared...

I've been anxiously waiting for your pictures, thank you for posting! Can't wait for the rest. :thumbsup2

We have party tickets for Friday night and this weather.. yikes. I've been keeping tabs on it for several days and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Now we're up to a high of 100 degrees on Friday. Yikes!! Not what I expected for October. :confused3

YAY!!! I'm so happy the pins came in! It's really the only thing I collect on each trip and I'd be so bummed to miss out.

I had mine done in preparation for our October 3rd trip. They turned out really nice! I'd post a picture if I could figure out how to get it to work. Ha!

One of the very BEST things about moving from So-Cal to Nor-Cal is the changing of the leaves. I grew up at the beach in Ventura, without any official season change and no real trees to speak of besides palm trees. Now up here in Sacramento, we get everything. It's lovely. That being said, I'm...

I took my son when he just turned 6 and he liked it. He was a little scared of the pre-show as well, but loved the drops. I consider him a roller-coaster daredevil too, but the dark/ghosts creep him out a bit. I think it's almost worse for kids that are a little bit older and understand the...

We've stayed at various off-site hotels over the years and finally splurged and stayed at DLR last Christmas. It was FABULOUS! From check-in to check-out, everything was wonderful. The staff was excellent and the rooms were clean and well appointed. I really liked the Disney touches, though not...

What exactly IS the Toon Town pre-party? :confused3

We're also going to our first MHP this year and the rides are my main focus as well. My son is six, so we'll hit up some treat trails and I'd like to see the fireworks and maybe the parade, but I'm the most interested in getting on rides without waiting 30-60 minutes for each one, as we normally...

Really beautiful pictures! I've been to Disneyland more times than I can count, but I never get tired of looking at pictures like these. Really nice. :thumbsup2

I know, we're in the same boat. My son is in first grade and just started using the "big kid" bathroom too. AH! I did notice, though, that not all shorts or pants have an opening in the front. Weird!

Only two weeks from Friday until we're at DLR for our first MHP! Now if only this weather would cooperate. 100 degrees when we're supposed to be celebrating Halloween is just not right! Yuck. :sad2:

We've always gone during the holiday season (usually Christmas to New Years) and we LOVE it!!! The decorations and overall "magic" feel is just amazing. I'll skip almost any other time of the year, but I'll never skip Christmas time. My main suggestion is to be prepared for insane crowds...

My son is six and we're just starting to let him navigate the men's room by himself. Typically, my husband would take him into the men's room or if he wasn't with us, I'd bring him into the women's bathroom with me. He would always be in the stall with me though, no matter what. At six, he's...

Right?! If I start thinking of all the disgusting and horrifying things my son touches or puts in his mouth, my head will explode. I actually carry hand sanitizer and wet wipes (such a Mom, right?) for this reason. Such a fine line though. I want to reinforce the hand washing and being mindful...

Kaci, I feel the exact same way! Though I do worry sometimes in a very crowded place about something happening to him, it's mostly the thought of the disgusting things he'd touch and then not wash his hands. I have images of touching toilet seats, the flusher and not using any soap. I'm glad I'm...

Sherry, Both my husband and I grew up down south, so we've been to Disneyland more times than I can count. Or.. perhaps I've dragged him to Disneyland once or twice. LOL I refuse to ever give up the holiday season at Disneyland because it's just MAGIC. It's hard to explain to someone that's...

This has been such a great thread to read - thanks for all the info everyone! Though I consider myself a Disneyland fan, to a ridiculous extent, I've never been during Halloween time. I've always wanted to, but can never bring myself NOT to go during Christmas, so Halloween takes a back seat...

We just got back from two days at Disneyland and two nights at the DL Hotel. It was our first time staying on property and we LOVED it. My 6 year old son absolutely loved it and it made the trip that much better, seeing his face light up at the little Disney touches. We loved the pool, of...
