Hope you are all doing well.
Coming back from teaching a year Overseas and want to surprise our 3 kids with a stop in at Disneyland on the way home. My question is will it be so busy during those day June 6-10th that it will be tough to enjoy the Park? We have been to DL 3 times and just LOVE it. First time went over Pres. Holiday and it was packed. Really didn't enjoy the park with it being so packed then went back in Feb. during midweek next year and it was amazing. I am just trying to justify spending $2000 to stop and wonder if any of you have words of advice. Has the poor economy affected DL at all? I do realize weekends are nuts but after that? Thanks for taking the time to respond, we really appreciate any help. This board is great!

Spend another $14 or so and get ridemax. It's www.ridemax.com . It's a computer program that lets you choose the rides you want to go on, the days you'll be at the park. I usually print out several different itineraries and make sure we're up and at the park before rope drop.
Also check out Hydroguys fp rules and tips.

I've used Ridemax in the height of summer and maybe waited 20 minutes at the most for a ride.
If you're going to drop that kind of change on a DL vacation, be sure you'll enjoy it. The first weekend in June shouldn't be too bad, but weekends are always busier than weekdays.

Well at least in early June you won't have all the schools out for summer, but it is the start of the summer season. We've always gone during peak times, but never walked away disappointed....I don't think that will be a terrible time....of course I don't think ANY time is a bad time to be at Disneyland!!
The birthday promo disney is running & setting up monthly payments for AP holders has seemed to keep DL busy...I read somewhere they were surprised by how many people have been coming in.
I say go & enjoy yourself....but I LOVE Disneyland & would go any time I had the chance.
