We'll be going as day visitors on Dec. 26 and 27, (staying about 45 minutes away, visiting my brother's family). We've already got our ressies for Blue Bayou for dinner on the 26th!
We're going in December, too!! My DH and I went last December for the 1st time (usually go during spring break or summer) and we loved the festive atmosphere for Christmas, so we decided then and there that we would take our 2 "kids" (21 & 17) this year! As I told DH yesterday, "in 2 days we can say we're going to DL next month!" Can't wait!!!
I know there is this convention at the Disneyland Hotel. They are saying 2000 guests, but they won't be in the parks during the day as that is when they are meeting.
