Originally Posted By LuLu Jan 7 all the schools are back in session. Mid March is when colleges start spring breaks, regardless of when Easter falls. So I'd start with "between Jan 7 til March 12." Then definitely avoid Prs. Day weekend, and I'd avoid the weekend before MLK Day as well.
Originally Posted By LuLu I'd bet the least busy weekend is the one right after kids go back to school, so Jan 9-13 for your trip. Not that those are the best dates (there will be ride closures) but probably the least crowded.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Yep your right and there is one of the biggest conventions 1/17-1/20 - this would be the NAMM convention...I went last year during this as my husband is a musician and was attending the convention - the kids and I went too - DL was packed!! It was like a July weekday - not as bad as a weekend - but more than you would expect for January!!

Originally Posted By joobie7 Thanks everyone. After looking at all the conventions...i've narrowed it down to Jan30-Feb3. However, do you miss out on things that time of year? What are the hours like and the weather? Oh and do they still do parades and fireworks? Sorry I've only been to Disneyland once. I am taking a 4 and 6 year olds who had a hard time with the very long days and early starts so I think shorter hours might be okay for them. Would love any info. Thanks
