I live in the south east and we went the first week of June last year and it was amazing. We wore shorts or leggings and Ts with a sweatshirt in the morning and evening. We are going later in June this year so I figure it will be hotter, but even with the heat, we didn't have to deal with humidity that we normally do in the south. The lack of humidity is A+.
She's also going to juuuust be 40inches so I'm thrilled that she can get on Big Thunder, Soarin, etc.
We are making our very first trip to Disneyland EVER June 17-21. We are yearly WDW regulars but have never made it out to DL. I am SO excited. We're actually flying into Sacramento and doing a few days at Yosemite National Park and then driving down to DL and flying home out of LAX.
We're staying at GC b/c this is a "go big" trip for us. We have 3-day park hoppers with Genie+. I'm hoping to get in every single ride once and then hit our favorites a 2nd time. My 12yo is all about the rides and my 4yo is in her Princess era so I booked BBB
I have a few ADR reservations (got Trader Sam's) but we are more of "eat on the go quick service" family.
I really really want to catch some of the nighttime shows. My disney MO is to be up at the crack of dawn rope dropping so historically we've had a hard time making it to fireworks. But I really want to! I figure at least I can catch WoC from the Grand balcony with the music piped in?
Any recs for where to rent a stroller at DL? I like the services that drop them at your hotel at WDW but not sure what the equivalent is at DL..? Also is there a good grocery delivery service for bottled water, etc?
Any and all tips for this newbie DL family would be appreciated

ScooterBug is the official external stroller rental vendor for the DLR hotels. We have used them before when staying on site and it was a smooth experience. They drop off at the hotel, whether you are there or not, bell services holds the stroller, then you drop the stroller off at bell services when your trip is over. The prices are competitive. It is a very easy and seamless experience.We are making our very first trip to Disneyland EVER June 17-21. We are yearly WDW regulars but have never made it out to DL. I am SO excited.

We had two of our days last trip that were Grad Nites. We stayed at The Anaheim Hotel which is right across the street from the entrance for Grad Nite (behind Guardians). The crowds were actually pretty low our entire trip (it was the first week in June), it was just the type of crowd that was annoying. Giant packs of teens. Everywhere
Most were fine but the ones who weren't...they stood out. I teach 2nd grade and it was like a lot of huge 2nd graders had been let loose. So just be aware! I would start at DCA on Grad Nites because you will want to clear out closer to their party start. The groups that have hoppers can/will stay in DL under midnight and then hop to DCA for the rest of their party. But most of the grads seemed to arrive midday. There weren't really at groups rope drop. The crowds only picked up in the evening closer to party time. I was worried about it but it didn't really change much!
). I live in SD and plan to arrive at the crack of dawn on Friday, and then be back home for work at least 1/2 day Monday. Staying at GCH, splashed out on CL (we used discounted Disney GC, at least), we wanted a peaceful retreat when things get busy with the grads!! My sister/niece arrive later on Friday, so I’ll be rolling solo that day and snagged a Napa Rose chef’s table seating that evening, which I was thrilled about! I am a WDW vet but know jack-all about DL, so I’m trying to study up on G+ and MEP tiers!!!!
I agree.
If anyone wants to try to grab it when I drop it, we can coordinate a time!
