Need opinions on dates...

[jeremynandrea]

I know there are probably several other threads that have covered this, but my search function is acting up and my scrolling threads hasn't really come up with too much.

We are taking another trip at the end of the year. We will have 2 days in the parks and due to scheduling, we plan on being in the parks on a Thursday and Friday. What do you think would be the best dates, crowd wise? Any Thursday or Friday should work for us, we will just have to go those days of the week due to school/work. TIA!

What month are you going? You say end of the year, so I assume a trip to see Christmastime at Disneyland?

If you're going in December, in general, the earlier the better; I'd probably go the first Thursday and Friday in December, or even the last ones in November if that possible. Park hours will likely be a bit shorter than they will later in December but crowds should be lighter on November 29-30. By the time you get to dates after Christmas...I read trip reports and see photos and that's the one time of year I am GLAD I'm not at Disneyland.

If the Candlelight Processional interests you, I'd probably try December 6-7. It will quite possibly bring increased crowds and/or traffic issues, however.

Oops! I think I originally put the months in my title, then obviously edited it. Yes, we are thinking end of Nov or first of December.
