Getting rusty....help with May trip?

[MagicalMomAZ]

When I was younger I lived on these boards & knew EVERYTHING. Now that my kids are older & there's been tons of changes...I feel like a newb! I know this question has most likely been asked 102 times, bear with me.

So, my eldest graduates from college in May, my youngest will graduate from HS in 2 years (he'll go to DL for his senior trip then)...my hope is to go in May before my eldest gets a "real" job & before my youngest graduates, May seemed good.

Well - my chosen hotels have no vacancies for 5/22....is there something HUGE going on in Anaheim???
The blocked out dates for AP's seem sporadic for that weekend. Is this good? bad? It seemed good until I couldn't find a hotel.

We typically visit in February. My eldest "walked" in her college commencement in December & I thought we'd go then but I had a surgery so we held it off. February is our favorite. I grew up going Fri-Sat in the summer months, it was always long lines & we never got to do it all. This will be our LAST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND until I have grandkids someday. I want to make it a good one. As far as getting all the rides in (we skip Fantasy Land at this stage), eating a good sit down meal, and making it a happy happy time.

SIGH...I'm a long talker.

There aren't any major events/conferences going on that weekend, but it is Memorial Day weekend, so many people will be vacationing at that time. Feel free to join the ** May 2020 Check In ** to keep updated on events going on that month. I'm showing a lot of hotel availability that weekend, but prices are higher than average due to the holiday weekend. It may help to book something within your budget that has free cancellation and watch the prices is the coming months. Chances are your preferred hotels may open up or prices may go down as the dates get closer.
