Originally Posted By FaMulan 3.How busy do you think it will be aug29-sept 1st? 4.Has it been ungodly hot at the park? Does it stay warm at night or does it cool way down?<< I can't speak to the first two, but I can give a shot at the second. 3-My husband and I were at the parks last night to see the fireworks and it was crowded. Not insanely so, but it was definitely a busy day. 4-Living nearby, I can vouch that the weather has been unseasonably cool, but that could change by the end of the month. We needed sweatshirts last night. Check with any of the weather sites that will let you see the forecast for a particular zip code and check it fairly frequently until you leave for your visit. I hope you find the other answers you're looking for.

Whilst they are quite expensive, and you can probably make up your own much cheaper, I thought it was lovely to have something *special* to start off our trip with. If you email vacation planning vacationplanning@disneyonline.com or phone them (714)781-4438 they will give you a list of what's available. And you can substitute things if you wish. Have a great trip!

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I ordered a gift basket last year from vacation planning. It had some fruit, some cheese and crackers, some cookies, a MM mug, and a little stuffed Mickey. It was a little expensive, but not overly so and I though it was very special to have waiting for us. I also had them on our second day deliver rice crispy treats and milk to our room. It just made the vacation a little more special.

If you go to msn.com and click on weather then go to activity conditions you can get the 10 day forcast for DLR. It seems pretty acurate when I have used it.
Originally Posted By Kathi K We bought our granddaughter one of the lighted balloons. It was $12. One month later it was still floating so we took it to her up in the Bay Area. One ear deflated (I think from being in the hot car when we stopped.). Who knows how long it would have lasted? Worth the $2 more. And you can replace the battery. It was the same kind we use in our garage remote. Hope this helps. Have a great time.

Thanks for the MSN link oredisneyfan! I was able to get a great idea of the weather when we'll be there at the end of the month. 102 on one day yikes!
