So looks like I've got nDH (non-Disney Husband) 99% talked into a trip in Spring 2019. It will be our second trip (first one was in our trailer at the Fort in Spring 2015). I'm a Disneyland regular, grew up in So Cal. You all were so friendly and helpful the first time that I thought I'd post my question here.
I'm just trying to figure a time frame vis a vis crowds and weather. Easter is 4/21 next year. Would there theoretically be lower crowds during the periods prior to, say, April 15 and after around the first few days of May given that Easter is 4/21? Either works for us as we're retired. 'Spring Break' period here (Calif) seems to start 3 weeks before Easter and end 3 weeks after! Our last WDW trip was the last few days of April through the first few days of May and the crowds were pretty reasonable but Easter was early April that year. The weather was fab then too. I'm hoping early April and late May are typically good weather-wise, too. Meaning not a lot of torrential rain or terrible humidity. Unfortunately, growing up in California has spoiled me for temperate weather.
I'd really love to do the drive again and stay at the Fort, but nDH says he'll never do it again because the tornado watches and the severe storm warnings along the way freaked him out. If I can't change his mind I guess we'll be flying & staying onsite but I'm hoping the thought of having to kennel our Dachshund (his baby) for 9 days will change his mind. Fingers crossed.
Thanks. Disney Days and Happy Camping to you all.
