Trying to plan our 1st trip to DL and SoCal

[triplefigs]

We are going in June. Does DL get more busy as the summer progresses, or will the beginning of June be as busy as the end of June? Would Mon-Thurs be better, or Sun-Wed? How many days do we need to see everything at DL during the summer months (not going non-stop and taking breaks)?

Thanks for any help!

Believe it or not, it depends heavily on which specific June days you are talking about. Issues include AP Blockouts, Grad Nights and full entertainment schedules (or lack thereof in the first half of June).

Here are some mroe links for you:

This year Fantasmic is dark from early January until sometime in June due to refurbs on the ROA. To me it is a no-brainer to wait until after Fantasmic comes back.

Thanks for all the info! Planning a DL trip is completely different from WDW, and we are very excited about visiting!

Looks like we should go either June 16-19 or June 23-26 (So Cal blockout dates). Is 4 days enough time to see everything with having a Grad night on Thursday? Would you suggest the later dates so hopefully Fanstasmic will be running?

Thanks again!

I would be really surprised if Fantasmic was not up by June 23. Probably by the 16th as well. The later date is safer in this regard.

Four days would be enough to see just about everything unless you are like Molly (Bumbershoot) and count all the nooks and crannies.

You are in for a treat!

I thought someone posted on here that a bunch of postal workers were going to be there in June. You might want to see when that was. We are going for the first time in May.
