We're looking at going to DL either this upcoming year or the following year. We can't go until after the 10th of any month due to my husband's job, and I'm a teacher, so pretty much June or July are our only choices. We have AAA and would be staying onsite so that we could use the enchanted fast pass option to offset the crowds of June. However, after researching this for almost 5 months (during which time we've flip flopped back and forth between DL and WDW so many times I've lost count -- DL finally won because we've been to WDW twice in the last five years, but it's been almost 10 years since we've been to DL), I'm still worried about the crowds at DL. It seems the crowds at times are more than the parks can handle, and that the only hope for a reduction in crowds is for the 50th celebration to end. I always spend a lot of time planning and understand that going in June, we'll always have to deal with some crowds. I'm just wondering if we wouldn't have a better trip if we waited another year before coming. Advice? Do you think waiting until after the celebration has ended will decrease crowds enough that we should put it off another year? Or should we just bite the bullet and join the party?

It's going to be busy in June anyway, I'd join the party and enjoy all of the extra things going on for the 50th if I were you (the fireworks alone are simply amazing)... plus, who wants to wait an entire year??? Come on!!! June 2005 gets my vote.

Like it was said above, June is going to be crowded any year so, you might as well go in 06.

Oops! I went to such trouble to make sure I got the dates right and then I still messed up! Should be 2006 or 2007, obviously. Can't figure out how to edit!!

I agree with those who posted above! :)

June will always be crowded, so just do it and don't miss the great 50th stuff!

You sound very well organized (maybe it is a thing with teachers named Kim-- that's me too! :p ) and I'm sure you'll be able to make the most of your time at the parks. Go for multiple days so you're not super rushing. I haven't used Ridemax, but it's supposed to be great.

Have fun!

Well, if you are considering any summer month in the last year, then may I recommend that you go all out and set your vacation in July of 1955?

Better yet, since you have a time machine, why not set your vacation for 2055 and then come back and tell us what's going to change in the next 50 years?

Going as early as you can in June might not be too bad, crowd-wise. I would say go during the celebration.

P.S. I also edited your thread title. :)

Just keep in mind that there's no guarantee that they'll even be offering this in June 2007. They could, in theory, discontinue it or change the program before June 2006. I don't know if that would affect your decision, but it's something to keep in mind.

I think it's really hard to say which year will be better. Personally, I'd bite the bullet and join the party. ;) I think that in any year, June would be better than other summer months, myself.
