Best time to visit DL?

[kugelette]

the choices for our trip are Monday through Wednesday of thanksgiving week, or late march (spring break). Thoughts?

Also, is DL super themed for Xmas at that time? We don't celebrate it and don't enjoy in your face Xmas theming everywhere. Thanks!

Holiday time will be in full swing by thanksgiving, so it will be completely decked in Christmas decorations. I remember last year reading that the monday and tuesday of thanksgiving week was packed because no AP'S were blocked out, and most locals had the week off of school. If you not into Christmas and crowds then I would go in march. I would imagine spring break will still be crowded, but not as much as thanksgiving. Just be aware that easter is earlier next year, so try not to go too late in march.

Yes, Christmas is very much done to the extreme and everywhere at Disneyland from Mid-November through the first week of January. Personally, it is my favorite time to go but if you don't like that sort of thing, I would definitely recommend another time of year.

If you don't like in your face Christmas then I wouldn't go to DL around that time.....seems like an easy "no"

I haven't been during Thanksgiving week, so can't speak to that, but imagine it will be really crowded. I went at the end of March this year and it was INSANELY crowded. It was Spring Break, so I expected that going into it, but dang. It was just nuts!
