I really think she does it on purpose because she never plans hers until we've planned ours. Anyway, this year we beat her at her own game. We planned a trip for february, so she planned one in March and then after she was merily on her way we planned another one in May! Hah, take that you mean thing! So I was just wondering if anyone knows of any events, cheerleaders, wine festivals, anything like that that might put a damper on our plans? Not that it matters too much, Disneyeland is Disneyland no matter how many billions of people are there. But what kind of crowds can we expect? Thanks so much

Weekdays should be fine as the park is anticipated being open from 10-8 each day. The wine festival is ending just before you arrive (I think it ends on the 5th). So that should help. Enjoy the torture session.
