So what do you guys all love about summer at DL? My family drives from Canada so driving through summer is a lot of fun!!! No snow storms!!! We have done 7 family trips so far, about once every 1.5 years. This year it will be 2.5 years so really hoping to get it in. We are driving with 7 of us in a van (me, Disney wife, 3 girls ages 5, 9, 10 and my MIL and FIL. Its a 23 hour drive so summer is much more enjoyable for the drive. As a teacher we only have so many times a year we can go. We have went in November (loved the Christmas decorations without huge crowds), went in spring break (never again, soooooo crowded) and the rest have been in summer.
We love
a.) long hours!!! We love starting really early (opening) as we are early risers and we get the most done in the morning. A little nervous how boarding groups have changed things. Was hoping they would be done by summer but who knows now.
b.) California heat - we love the nice summers. We hydrate lots (thanks to water bottle filling stations) and we spend afternoons in show and buildings when we can.
c.) Everything open. traditionally summer has very little in terms of refurbs!!! This is always a plus!!!
d.) TIME!!! As a teacher we have time to drive down, staying at a hotel on the way. Spending 10 nights in anaheim doing lots of fun stuff and driving up the coast playing at the beaches as we go!!! Its a win win!!!
So, what makes summer so appealing to you?
