What time of year is the best time to go to Disneyland amp; Sea World and all that?|100271

We_re planning a trip to Disneyland for next year (driving down from Oregon) ... trying to decide the best time to go, and how long to take.

We_re thinking mid-to-late September, as opposed to the middle of summer ... less crowds, perhaps? Also, is there a _rainy season_ to avoid, or is it virtually sunny all the time?

And, since we_re driving down from Portland ... is one week enough time? Wife says, _yes,_ buddy at work says, _no._

Any helpful info anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

i live in yorba linda Cali.
its 20 mins from disneyland in anaheim
there is no _rainy season_ here
it barely rains, 90% of the time it will be 80-90 and sunny
you don_t really need to plan for weather
but to bet the crowds and high prices come when school is in session, not on breaks
mid/late sept. is a good time so is may

if you mean a week to drive to anaheim, yes
a week to drive and be on vacation, no

i have no idea how long it takes to drive form portland to OC
but its atleast 2 hours from anaheim to san diego (Where sea world is)
i would go for 10-12 days to be honest
a week of vacation when youre driving, its going to be mostly in the car
not _on vacation_

have fun in california
its beautiful here

Mid September is a GREAT time. Crowds are down, lines are short, and weather is still nice in general. I think I can safely predict with 100% certainty that there will be no hurricanes. (Brown Suger, this is LA, not FloriDUH!). Rain is so rare here, it_s a major news event when it happens. Generally you don_t get any until mid to late October, and the real rain doesn_t come until January, if at all.

At that time of year, you can do Disneyland in 2 or 3 days, since lines are short. You could do LA in a week, but try for a little longer.

going in September is not a good idea. Florida will be in the middle of their hurricane season. the best time to go would be in early May.the weather is still pretty bearable. no overpowering humidity. go to Map Quest to map out your route and see how long your journey will take. hope you have a good trip!

Temps are great in San Diego this time of year. And well all times of year. So pick a time when road travel through mountain passes is not dangerous.

Stay away during the summer because of the crowds.............And never go on a school holiday.
One week is surely enough time in Disneyland but LA is a big city.

Between May and August, sure it_s hot, but clear skies, no worries about in Red Flag Warnings unlike now...

we tend to get in well just in the beginning of april or the beginning of may
