Title: out of these 3 dates, when would you go?
Post by: zomigi on September 09, 2019, 10:44:45 PM
My family would like to go to DLP, but we're restricted by the kids' school holidays (we live in the Netherlands), so basically we MUST go when it is busy no matter what. But which is the least horrible option? If you had to choose between these 3, which would you choose:

A. October 19-23, 2019
B. May 4-7, 2020
C. October 10-16, 2020 ** please note that my 2yo will now by 3 by this date and thus no longer free

A is good because the 2yo is free and it's Halloween. But I hear it will be very busy. :-(

B might be less busy because it's weekdays, but it's surrounded by two long weekends, so might be just as bad. But maybe not? But no Halloween. :-(

C is probably the least busy, and has Halloween, but will be more expensive since my youngest kid will then be too old to be free any more. Plus I have to wait over a year. :-(

Which would you choose? I can't decide!

A because its Halloween and is closest.

As a side note, have you looked to see if there are any special seasons you may be interested in and what time of year they are on? Eg, pirates and princesess, or Lion King, or Star Wars.

Thanks Qscout!

No, I haven't looked at that. Do you have a recommended source for finding this out?

Disneylandparis.com usually has them up, thought it hasn't been updated for next year yet. Its still showing 2019 seasons.

From the home page if you scroll down past our offers there should be a section unforgettable moments for each season, click view other seasons.

I would say that they will get repeated again, just with different dates.

I'd say A. No longer is closest, it's also Halloween and true although weekend (particularly Saturday) will be busy, you should get some nice quiet days during the week :)
