We are planning a September trip for 6 days and even after reading the first twenty pages of this board have a few questions.
1. Is it worth paying for touring plans to get the crowd predictors in order to plan the best time of the trip? (From the threads I know we have to go after Labor Day, Sept 8, and leave by September 28 for lower crowds.) Halloween overlay would be great, but not absolute. I know the weekend will be crowded for Dapper Days on the 19-21. I do not know how that will effect crowds weekdays the week before (sept 14) or the week after (Sept 21.) Do most people attending Dapper Days go to the parks prior or do they stay a few days after? We wil be with my parents and therefore want to pick the least busy days possible. I figured a 2015 daily crowd predictor could be useful but could not find a free one for Disneyland.
2. We are still planning where to stay since unfortunately the timeshare we were hoping to stay in is sold out. I have heard people on the boards refer to the Desert Inn. Am I right to assume this is NOT the same as the Desert Palms Inn (and therefore not a good neighbor hotel as I do not see it on the list?) Thanks!!!
