Vegas convention, then DL?

Well a work convention in Vegas for my husband, just MIGHT bring us out west, so that would pave the way for our first trip to DL for a couple of days. Got a lot to learn in six months.

How exciting. What month are you looking at visiting?

Edit: Just saw in your other thread that you are looking at Oct 1 & 2. Halloween is a busy season at Disneyland. October 2 will be Oogie Boogie Bash in DCA (separate ticket required). If you are doing one park per day, you probably want to do DCA on Oct 1 so you have the full day and World of Color. Visit Disneyland on October 2. Here is a calendar of what is happening in October.

Probably just do DL on the 2nd. DCA hardly has anything that really interest me to be honest.

That will be fun! But as mentioned October is now one of the busiest times at DL due to the popularity of Halloween season. Biggest recommendation would be to get Lightning Lane Multi Pass and try to rope drop if possible and/or stay until closing time. The first and last couple of hours are the least crowded and you can get a lot done compared to the rest of the day.

Ya, the dates are not flexible at all. It would be the 2nd and possibly the 3rd of October, if my husband wants to do DCA too. Getting the Multi Pass is a must for us, I know that and I am already familiar with using it at DW too.

I went ahead and got the HJ with a no prepayment and 3 days before arrival, free cancellation rate of like $300 a night, TPView. I will need to do heavy research, but where to book, I already knew first hand.

LLMP is different at Disneyland than WDW. It is the old Genie + system with a new name at Disneyland. No pre reservations. You can't book first ride until you pass the turnstile.

Ya, it's not the exact same, but I did use Genie + last year. Speaking of turnstiles, that goes for the turnstiles at the monorail too, right?

Yes, but if you are entering from Harbor Blvd, the monorail is past the entrance to the park.
