My 10 year old daughter and I will be going October 5-8th for a Mommy/daughter trip. Just got our OBB tix for the 5th. This will be the first Disney Halloween after hours event for both of us.
I took a look at the crowd calendar for those dates, and it's showing " It'll be packed" for that entire week. I thought that time of year was slower. I know our school district has Fall break that week (we're in Texas) and a lot of schools in Arizona do as well, but I don't think California schools do. I wonder how accurate that prediction is. Either way, we are going to have a great time!!

Our very large urban Silicon Valley school district has that week of October off, which is when we'll be there -- we always run into people we know during that time, lol! Overall, it's never been crazy-crowded -- ranged from a 3 to maybe a 7-8 out of ten, crowdwise? But there's a LOT of pent-up demand, so, who knows.

Yeah, most Texas folk usually run off to WDW during our breaks, but we are DLR people. I'll usually run into somebody I know, but it's usually a Bay Area person since I grew up over there. Either way, it'll be a fun time! Can't wait!

There is no such thing as non-crowded times in October anymore. Dd and I have done Columbus Day weekend for a few years and between fall breaks, the long weekend and Halloweentime… it’s busy. Have sit down reservations booked so you can get a break from the crowds busy. Rivers of America area after 4 pm on Fri and Sat night you can’t move kinda busy… so we try to zig while others are zagging and have a good time anyway! That said, it’s the weekend we can go, so we still do it!

So excited to finally be heading back to my happy place

October 23 - Disneyland
October 24 - Oogie Boogie Bash at DCA

 

[Castlequeen5]

I just found this thread. I’m moving over from the WDW version. We are coming to DLR Oct 29-Nov 2! Our original plan was to go to WDW for Halloween. But we were all just there this spring, so we toyed around with going someplace else. Once I got tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash, we switched our flights to California instead. My family hasn’t been to DLR in several years, and it’ll be my best friends’s first time. We are all excited about the new Avenger Campus and going back to Radiator Springs, which is my all time favorite ride on either coast! I can’t wait!!!

 

[Catvondita]

Staying at the Disneyland Hotel October 2-7th! Everything's tentative and refundable so far just in case Covid Numbers keep going up but I'm remaining optimistic! It will be my daughters first time at DL!

 

[ICMDGO]

Got OBB tickets for Oct. 14! Yay!!!! Anyone else going the same night?

We'll be there too !!!

 

[skellinton]

I hope this is ok to ask/post here.
I currently have a reservation for HoJos, but I can save 200 by staying at the Fairfield or Desert Inn should I switch? It is just my husband and I . He can sleep anywhere and anytime, and I will be in the room very minimally. One thing that is important to my husband is the shower, he is tall and sometimes the shower head in hotels are super short and only come to his chest. Weird questions, I know, but does any one know anything about the hotel’s showers? which thread should I be looking for to answer that question? Thank you.

 

[V.I.N.CENT.]

We are going 16th-21st. Last trip was in 2018, super long gap for us! We went to WDW for the first time in 2019, planned on going back a couple times in 2020.

I was looking at OBB reservations, looks like the 19th was one of the first dates to sell out. Anyone have an idea why?

I pulled the trigger on two nights. Can't resist going if we are already there!
