The *official and early* April 2009-Anyone?

[mogrill]

We are going to be at Disneyland from March 31st, thru April 2nd. We fly in to LA on Monday the 30th in the evening (9:26 pm) and fly out Friday morning early 6:55am) We are staying at the Anaheim Maingate hotel in Fullerton. Has anyone else stayed there? It has a complimentary Disneyland shuttle and is 3 miles from DL. I want to stay at a resort, but couldnt afford it this time! I never have gotten to stay at a resort. It was a choice between going and staying at neighboring hotel or not going so I decided heck... I wanna go to Disneyland and If I have to stay in a tent it is fine with me!!

In our area (South NJ) Spring Break ends on the 17th - kids go back on the 20th. I was hoping we would just miss them. I wouldn't mind passing them on the other side of I95. lol

While you may miss the NJ spring break people, you will be getting the New England Spring break crowds. The third week in April is always spring break for much of New England, so expect lots of people from around here. Although I am a transplant here, I need to go when my kids are out of school, so we will be there.

We are staying at the Poly April 12th-April 18th. It has been about 7 years since the last time we went. That was in July. I thought it was going to be terrible. But it really wasn't. This is our first time we have ever stayed on-site resort. We are so excited! My ten year old does not remember the first time we went. So I really think she will enjoy it! So count us in the crowd that week.

We will arrive at WDW on April 14, the Tues after Easter. I hear the week after Easter can be very busy. UGH. Can't we just have the whole park to ourselves?

I saw Grad nite will be our last night there April 17th. I am going to try to avoid the MK that day due to that. I think we will do MK on Monday April 13th. I did notice that when we made ressies back in January the calender on disney's site has changed. Why is that???

Wasn't grad nite moved to DHS this year?

 

[kandcmch]

You are correct. Either way still going to be careful where I ended up that last night there with my family. Because I am sure it gets very busy.

Hello..

We are also going in April and are really excited..however, we had to change a few dates and are now calling Disney Dining everyday trying to get new reservations
So if it is okay, I wanted to plug a thread that Dis members can go to trade/give up their ADRs if they are thinking of cancelling before they call to actually cancel it. In this way, it gives other Dis members a chance to get a reservation first.

We are looking for reservations for Chef Mickey on April 6 and have not had any luck yet.. so Please check out this thread if you are thinking of canceling a ADR in April:

Only 2 weeks left

OK!!! I can't believe by next week I will be in the single digits! I feel like I have been waiting forever. I have to remember to fax my room request to the Poly by April first. I will let you know when I get back from my trip how and if it worked for us. I will keep posting on here until I leave. I think I am going to start following other DISERs lead and start packing this weekend. Anyone have a list of things I should pack since this is our first trip??? Let me know! Thanks

I can't believe we leave on Wed.! Seems like it took forever to get to this point, but now the time is flying! Probably because I have so much to do and so little time to do it!!! Will be worth it though!!!
