Best time to find availability in either California Resort.

[Tigger1]

We are hoping for around October 16th availability in either of the two Cali resorts. What is our chances? How crowded is the end of July?

You'll need to check at the 7 month mark. VDH seems to be fairly reliably open at 7 months. VGC less so. Generally speaking.

October is crazy busy at Disneyland. Halloweentime is a major FOMO thing for many people. So it will be very hard for either of the resorts. VDH for a studio will be the easier of the 2 locations. VGC is very small and will be booked up before 7 months out. Late July, you probably could have good luck getting VDH for sure and may be able to get VGC. Summers at Disneyland will be less crowded than October.

The availability calendar for Grand Cal for October is already pretty bad. It's only open for owners there and already half gone for studios. It's mostly just 1 or 2 days in a row that are available. Once October is available for non-owners, I'd expect it to be fully booked. July is completely booked for Grand Cal studios.

I would expect July to be harder to book due to the 70th.

I have started watching the 7th month mark. How bad are crowds compared to October or March?

If DVC is not available, what hotel would you recommend that is within walking distance?

October will be worse than March this year since Easter is in April. End of August is usually a good time to go if you enjoy the Halloween Decorations.

Best time for availability- when kids are in school and there are no special events or holidays.

We were able to book 4 nights at DLC, .

What airlines do you suggest to DisneyLand? Also, what trasportation fro Airport to DLC?
