Woohoo! DH and I are going without the kids to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday!
8/6 to 8/10, staying at BW Stovalls Inn
We are also celebrating our anniversary and we arrive the day you leave. It’s our first trip to Disneyland and California.
Aug 10 - 18th
Straight talk, how hot do you guys think it's gonna be?
I've looked at Wunderground and historical temps for August but those predicted temperatures don't seem especially daunting. We've been in the Parks during late September/early October and experienced 104F+ temps (40C for us Canucks). Is August likely to hit those highs?
Also, how are you guys planning on managing your time in the Parks? We've never been when the Park were open late (11-12a) every night. We are night owls and traveling with teens and would love to hear what it's like in the Parks from 8 or 9pm 'til close. We LOVE CA at night because it never seems as crowded as DL; I find fighting through the parade/fireworks crowds daunting.
Dying for some Avengers Campus news!
Current plan:
Parks 8/24-8/26
Star Wars Celebration 8/27-8/30, staying at Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate
I think people who are there for the convention will likely stay in the convention center during those four days except for the Star Wars party on the 27th. It does not make much sense to spend $200 for a four-day pass to Celebration, then spend whatever on park tickets, only to dilute both of their value by going to both on the same day. If you have an AP or limited time, I can see where someone might go back and forth a little, but how many people does that cover? How did crowds work out in 2015 for that Celebration?
Meetups happen -- you can arrange them privately via PM or you can announce something here and have people let you know they'll be there. We've had DIS meetups for Dapper Days and much more informal meetups at RD when people knew they'd be there on the same morning. And sometimes it really does happen by chance when you recognize someone in the park by their avatar on this board!I'm still new with the forums, but it has been great so far. One question I have for this group is more to gauge interest in an informal meetup at some point. It looks like there are already quite a few people who will be there around the same time. Is that something that is pretty common in these groups or usually just keep it to chance?
