DL in summer VS. Superbowl weekend....

[Disneyland1084]

Have any of you been to DL over the summer AND Superbowl weekend? If so, how is it different crowd wise? I'm thinking of going over Superbowl 2008. I already noticed one resort hotel is already completely booked, but I'm not going to start worrying yet.

A lot of people say that it's the least crowded weekend of the year, and so far, I agree... I noticed a HUGE difference between Superbowl weekend and just about any day in the summer; some days it seems like twice the amount of people... Summer is the peak season so if you have a choice, it's best to go with your first option.

Typically the Superbowl would bring visitors to the city where it is played. With that said it is being played in Arizona this year -- I don't think you will have a crowd.

We were in Orlando at WDW this year on Super Bowl Sunday and the parks were DEAD.

I would go and have a BLAST!

Ok, if you insist!

It is sometimes light crowds, but occassionally there will be huge crowds that day for no apparent reason. A couple of years ago we went on Superbowl Sunday knowing it had been empty on years past, but that year it was a nightmare and we just left. Be sure to look for other things going on that week/end - like cheer competitions, large conventions, school holidays, etc.

I went on Superbowl Sunday in 1998 and it was *awful* - more crowded than on a normal busy summer day! I swore I'd never go on Superbowl Sunday again. So I haven't.

The most recent Superbowl Sunday was also very busy.
