We are thinking of heading to Disneyland from Seattle September 11-17. Is this a good time to come? We want to make the most out of our trip and we are driving. TIA!
Yes. Schools are in session by that time= less crowds - BaseballMickey_CM

IMHO, I would try and hold off until October. Kids are definitely in school, and the fall weather is perfect! Just my .02$ - stratdad

We got back a couple weeks ago. We stayed at the Grand. We got over 50% off by booking the hotel through AAA travel in Bellevue WA & then also applying a Disney Destinations email discount (from Disney) on top of yhe AAA discount. I hope you have loads of fun whether you stay on or off property! - mcarthy6

I love Disney year round but I'd wait until after they've put up the Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion overlay. - SorcererMky

Oh, and as for flying on September 11th, it's actually a great day to fly, heightened security and less traffic at the airports. Been there, done that, would have no problem doing it again. - SorcererMky

I live in the Seattle area too. We have gone several times in the middle of September. Great time to go. Not that busy and the weather is great! Have fun:-) - cormierj1

September is nice but I would choose October too if you can. Not as hot and the Halloween stuff is great! If you have kids they would love the Trick or Treat party!! - AKMouse

@mcarthy6- I would love to stay at the grand, how did you get such a discount. I don't have AAA but maybe I should! And where do you go to get that kind of deal?
Thanks everyone for the great advice! And we are not flying down we are driving down the good old I-5!! - SeattleKatie

Coolio, wifey and u will be at the parks in the 15-18. It is officially Halloween decs on the 16th. And if you are looking for good prices check out www.getawaytoday.com they have some good deals. The hotel price usually comes with some free passes to the park for two adults, doesn't hurt to check it out. - miguelg916
