Disneyland Planning Question

[kswm30b]

This is for the DL team, or anyone in the DL know.

After zillions of WDW trips, I'm finally going to go to DL for the first time ever in December!! I was going to go last Dec, but then DAP was announced, and we went back to our normal WDW in December trip, lol.

I can't decide whether to go the first or second week of December. Any reasons why I should choose one over the other? Pros/cons for crowd size, entertainment availability, etc for one week over the other?

Thanks! Getting antsy to book this thing so I can start a countdown, lol!

There's not a big difference between the first and second weeks of December. The "lull" between Thanksgiving and mid-December is a nice time to visit. Fireworks usually show every night, and Fantasmic typically plays Thurs-Sun. Park hours are also the same for both weeks: about 9am-9pm M-Th, 8am-midnight F-Sun. Either week would probably be fine, but if lower crowds are your number one priority, I would probably choose the first week of December. Hope this helps!

Don't forget that our Candlelight Processional is usually the first weekend in December and only runs for 2 days. Either time is good, but the weather can get a bit rainier toward the end of the month, if the season is due to get a bit wetter. If it does rain, it can make for a truly wonderful time and big lack of crowds.

Happy planning, no matter which week you decide!
