Please help me with my 2 week schedule...

[rmass82]

Hi
We are in anaheim from Oct 4- Oct 14th inclusive. This is our tentative schedule:
Oct 4 - Disneyland/DCA and character meal (my daughter's birthday)
Oct 5 - Disneyland/DCA (do you think it is ok or a waste to go when the TOTP is tonight?)
Oct 6 - Universal Studios - tour
Oct 7 - Knott's Berry Farm
Oct 8 - Free day
Oct 9 - Legoland - tour
Oct 10 - Disneyland/DCA
Oct 11 - Disneyland/DCA
Oct 12 - Halloween Party at Disneyland
Oct 13 - Seaworld - tour
Oct 14 - Disneyland/DCA

So my questons are: Do we go to Disneyland on a Halloween Day or is that a waste? Will we survive the 2 weeks? What days are holidays in the USA and may be busier?
Any input is appreciated!! Nothing is set in stone yet except Oct 4th is a for sure thing. WE have not bought our Halloween party tickets yet.

Thanks!

I don't know if you know this or not, but Legoland and Seaworld are a bit of a drive from Disney. Then you add in traffic and it is even longer. Someone will know the distance/time for you, but I don't think you are going to want to drive back and forth between San Diego and Anaheim more than once.

October 11th is Columbus day. While certainly not a major holiday, some do have it off and could make the parks busier.

We are taking tours to Seaworld, Legoland and Universal Studios

I agree with this, I'd be doing legoland and Seaworld on consecutive days, while staying down in San Diego for at least that 1 night.

That will not be possible. We are not driving while we are down there and there will be 12 of us all together. We are renting a house in anaheim so we are taking tours which are one day long.

I have never been in early October but there are a few days designated as "Gay Days". Also there are "Utah Days". Between then and thru Columbus Day often pulls in extra crowds. See this MousePlanet link for exact dates this year:

Hopefully others who have personally been during that time can comment and give advice.
