Topic: Never been over New Years

1	Main Street Dad Fri 6/12/2009 8:42a	Normally we spend a few days at DL in early June. Some days can be crowded, but usually it's not too bad. This year I booked Dec 31-Jan 4 and I'm wondering how crowded it may be, especially since New Years falls on a weekend. At first I thought New years day would be real crowded and then lighter crowds after, but 1/2 is a Saturday and 1/3 a Sunday so maybe the whole weekend will be crowded? Any thoughts?

It is a LOT of fun, however, if you have the right mindset that 1) it is going to be crowded and 2) you might not get to ride anything but enjoy the atmosphere. Now as to 1/1 and 1/2, etc., some of my most enjoyed days have been on New Year's day, especially early on 1/1. Going on 1/2 was delightful, even when it lands on a weekend. I've never been on 1/3, so I can't say. I would imagine they would be slower, however, than you think.

Knowing it will be jammed packed and ride lines will be insane is half the battle. But if you know this and still choose to go, have a blast!~~ I will be there as well from Dec. 31st through Jan. 2nd with my DD as well.

Perhaps due to unusually warm weather, it was packed. But do remember that kids are out of school, and Deluxe and SoCal APs become unblocked on the 3rd, after Christmas blockouts.
