The Best Time To Go To Disneyland
Mickey O'Lantern
It’s now. I mean, if you were wondering.
Just after school starts, on a weekday in the fall, during a recession.
My husband and I took our boys there today for the first time. Aside from two rides with waiting times of an hour each, we hardly waited for anything. No unruly crowds, no unbearable heat, short wait times, even multiple passes on the same ride. No waits for food. No lines for the rest room.
And if I can be a bit more specific, if your birthday is between tomorrow and December 31, 2009, the best time to go would be your birthday. You get free admission to the park, a spiffy button that says “Happy Birthday [name]” and birthday wishes from strangers all day long.
Five minute wait for this ride? Unheard of!

wonderful!! what a great idea!
Early this year, we decided to spring for the Annual Passes since we’re close enough to the park to go for even a few hours. And yes! Sneaking away mid-week is a great time to go, once summer’s over. Kids love the surprise of not having to go to school and as you mentioned, no lines for anything makes it more fun for the family.
In fact, we’ll be going up next week to celebrate my husband’s birthday!
