We will be there Aug 13-20. A Graduation / birthday celebration !
Oooo, just decided we should brave Disneyland this summer, even though I swore I would stay away for at least a year after SWGE opened!
August 26 - September 1 for me, DS 16 & DD 21! DH encouraged us to go and said no thanks, he'd go fishing instead!
First timers to DLR 8/25-9/1!!
WDW vets looking for touring strategies including attractions, dining and nighttime shows/packages. We have 5day hoppers with MMs and are staying at DLH. We are excited to enjoy downtime at the pool there too!
Very excited to head west for our first time and also hope to hit HP at Universal once that week.
Fun to learn about a “new to us” park from all of you

You should be good. Most likely that will happen on Aug 26.Will be in Disney August 20, 21, 22. Do we know yet, when Haunted Mansion will be closed for refurbishment to Nightmare Before Christmas? The last few visits we have been to Disney have been during the Haunted Mansion NBC, and are looking forward to the classic non-NBC version.
Thanks
We plan to be there for the 50th of Haunted Mansion. Hoping they do something cool for that. August 8th through the 13th.
Really don't expect to be able to do much In GE. Hitting Florida for 2 weeks in April 2020. Hoping GE will calm down there by then so we can really explore it.
Currently have a reservation for Desert Inn August 7 to 12, but we won't be going for that many days. If we go I am planning for just 2 or 3 days at the parks this year. I'm leaning towards Friday and Saturday. Now I see that is Choc weekend. How much does that impact the crowds?
I was there on CHOC Walk Sunday once. The parks opened late (both at 10AM) and I have never seen such a confused mess at the DLR entrance before. Once inside the parks things were fine though. To be frank, I would personally go to great lengths to avoid being there for a CHOC Walk day.Currently have a reservation for Desert Inn August 7 to 12, but we won't be going for that many days.

The walk is on Sunday and I was thinking Friday and Saturday. I booked that weekend because hotels were still a good value compares to October. I was hoping that was indicative that it wasn't a popular weekend. The choc walk is for a local hospital, right? Do you think it will impact the Saturday too much? Or mostly just annoying on Sunday? We would be driving home Sunday. If I opt for 3 days it would be Thurs through Saturday. It seems that Saturdays have been nice the last few summers as crowd patterns have changes.I was there on CHOC Walk Sunday once.

I don't think it will impact Saturday. The issue I think was not CHOC walk itself, but a late opening 10AM on a Sunday.The walk is on Sunday and I was thinking Friday and Saturday.

I didn't even think about it being HM's 50th. Last summer we went too late in August and it was already down for the overlay. It's my favorite ride and I am so excited I will be there for this. Makes missing it last year worth it!
Yes, unfortunately.Does this mean we should not expect to ride HM during our first trip to Disneyland - Aug 25 thru Sept 1?
