From the Disneyland summer pros here, how is it on a NORMAL July day? I know the temps are pretty moderate - around the mid-80s - and it's fairly humid (50-60%). Is it nice in the shade? Breezy? Bear in mind HOT to me is anything over 100 degrees in Las Vegas, with about 20-30% humidity. I'm really looking forward to a break from the 110s we're hovering around here now (except today - thunderstorms). Am I going to be happy or disappointed? Thanks!

I'd love to see Expedition Everest - amongst other things - but the thought of the weather outweighs the desire.

If your kids are grown you don't have to worry about going when they don't have school so you can go anytime and you will have a GREAT time, I always do.

That's DH's biggest gripe about California....how quickly the temperatures drop when the sun goes down (being a native CAian, I'm used to it). Since you are used to hotter temperatures, you may want to bring a sweater and stow it in a locker in case you want it in the evening. I look forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks, Alice.

Since I enjoyed the once-in-a-lifetime experience at the LP breakfast in January 2005, I'm not going to attend this time. But I'll be catching up with everyone for Pirates right after! Looking forward to meeting you, too!
