Forgot the "super hot" and "long lines" questions. It is not generally as hot as in Florida, mainly due to a considerably lower humidity in California. The long lines are a funny thing to us because we find that some of the rides that have incredibly long lines in Florida have really short lines in California. One ride that fits this description well is The Winnie the Pooh ride, in California it has almost no line and in Florida there was quite a long line when we went on it. It's a Small World usually doesn't have super huge lines out here, but the line can get long on occasion. We like to get a fast pass for Buzz Lightyear (one of our son's favorite rides) and then go on the Storybook Canal and maybe one or two other rides while we wait for our time to come for Buzz. Of course there are rides in California that you won't find in Florida so I would recommend you make those the primary goal of your visit. There is definitely some redundancy between the two resorts, but there are also unique things to each resort. If there is any way I can be of further help to you just let me know, I'd be happy to help a fellow Walt Disney World veteran find their way around Disneyland and make the most of it. They are such different resorts even though they have a lot of similarities.
) I believe that week will be very busy compared to the ones leading up to it.
