I'm planning on a Disneyland trip this December. However, I am having trouble deciding between two weeks. Well, at first, I was targeting the 1st full week of December. But after seeing the park hours for that week, it just doesn't seem right. So now I'm deciding between the 2nd and 3rd weeks of December. I arrive and leave on Saturdays so I have Sunday to Friday to play.
These are the hours for the 2nd week (Dec. 11 - 16)
Sun - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Mon - DL: 9a-8p; DCA: 10a-6p
Tue - DL: 9a-8p; DCA: 10a-6p
Wed - DL: 9a-8p; DCA: 10a-6p
Thu - DL: 9a-8p; DCA: 10a-6p
Fri - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
These are the hours for the 3rd week (Dec. 18 - 23)
Sun - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Mon - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Tue - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Wed - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Thu - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Fri - DL: 8a-12a; DCA: 10a-9p
Obviously, the 3rd week has better hours. I think it's pretty much guaranteed to have Fantasmic and Remember every night. I've checked flights. Right now, I can get flights for the same price for both weeks. My only concern is the 3rd week may be a little too close to Christmas. Does anyone know how busy the week before Christmas is. I know the week between Christmas and New Years is jammed, but what about the week before? Is there much of a difference between going in either the 2nd or 3rd week? Right now, the better hours have me leaning towards the 3rd week.
