Anyone have any idea what the crowds will be like this weekend (2nd-4th) or next weekend (9th-11th)? I know its usually busy around the holidays, but from previous experience, I know it gets busier the closer it gets to Christmas. I have the opportunity to come down either this weekend or next but want to know what to expect in terms of crowds.

Thanks - Kirsten

This weekend is Candlelight so it will be more crowded. I'd go for the following weekend. Have fun!!! :)

Definately try to attend during the week. We went to Disneyland Wed 11/30 at it was perfect! The weather was not as cold as reported and we rode everything we wanted, multiple times, and still had time to kill. I actually ordered, paid and received my traditional Dole Whip in less than 30 seconds. My wife just stood there stunned. Restaurants had plenty of interior and exterior tables available and the longest line was probably 20 minutes. We saw all the parades, fireworks, etc. All this from just 10am - 8pm.

Thanks for the advice. We settled on 12/9-12/11. I can't wait!! Going to keep it a suprise from my daughter unlike our trip in August when she bugged me up until we got there.

We are going 12/9-12/13. Something's going on because all of the DL hotels and a good portion of the non-Disney hotels are sold out.

There's a huge (7,000 people) convention going on the weekend of Friday, December 9. That's why the hotels are tight for those dates. However, if they do what they are supposed to, those people will be in their convention during the afternoon while you're in the park. Or me for that matter, because that's my weekend to go to DLR, too.

Groovilicious! We should get in touch to say "Hi!"!
