for the last 5 years we have taken our disneyland trip about teh third week in september, Luv the halloween stuff and have good luck with weather and crowds. Stayed at the Grand for the first time last year , luved it. Out of curiosity i cked the 3rd week in agust which happens to be my bday, and to my surprise the hotels are cheaper. What are the pros and cons of these 2 time periods, I am still leaning to september bur disnyland on my b day would be magical. I thought for sure summer vacation would be more expensive?
