Should we go in October & do Mickey's Treat or Treat (never have been at Halloween time) or in early December for all the beautiful holiday decorations? Thanks for your insight! |

I've also been to disney world when they had decorations up for halloween and it made me wish I was staying longer for the holiday... I say go on which ever holiday you love more. You can't go wrong with either. |

Disneyland during Christmas is magical even more then it usually is, what is nice is that during Christmas there are different Parades, Fireworks and even the Small World lighting that is special, if you have never been then I would suggest going to this first. Halloween is great for decorations but they don't do a special parade or fireworks although they do have the trick or treat party in California Adventure. It depend on what you think the kids and yourself will enjoy. Hope this helps some! |

| amazedncal2 Tue 6/16/2009 8:20p | Your kids are a great age for Halloween Treat. The thing I like about Halloween time (other than the fact that I LOVE Halloween) is that there are no other obligations. I LOVE DLR at Christmas time but find that I come home to lots of work after our vacation. Doesn't keep us from going though :)
I'd go with whatever works best for your kids and school. We took our kids out every year for a Disney vacation. I tried to tweak it so they didn't miss anything they would be sad about like a play or concert. |

| GalPalSal Wed 6/17/2009 2:48p | Thanks everyone! It is a tough decision since it would be fun to do Mickey's Treat or Treat, but then there's nothing like Disneyland at Christmas. I think I'll make hotel reservations for both times and then see how the school year goes. |
