Labor Day Weekend 2008

Has anyone been to Disneyland on Labor Day weekend???? Were the lines really bad???? What about the weather, nice or too hot???? Is it even worth going at that time????

That Sunday is the day of the Disneyland Marathon so it should be very crowded. I have read Friday is actually more crowded than Monday. But if you have a three day weekend and need to go back to work on Tuesday, Saturday should be best!

I have been to Disneyland on Labor Day weekend (as well as Knott's and the beach on different occasions), but that was waaay back in 1997 or something. It wasn't bad. It's very hot. That weekend is usually one of the hottest weekends of the summer. Early September also sometimes gets humidity along with the heat because of hurricane season down Mexico way. No worries, though, there is always the extremely air conditioned Enchanted Tiki Room and a ride on the Mark Twain will cool you down. If it is humid, at least the sunsets are beautiful!

^I'd like to know as well. I plan to be at Disneyland the latter part of the day on Labor Day, but spending the whole day the next day. How crowded will it be?

Uh oh... I guess I will not be having the BEST time with all the crowds, but I'll try to make due. I'm down there from the 25th -1st.

You know, we were there for Labor Day week-end in 2000, and it wasn't bad. In fact, Monday was the best day of all. That was 8 years ago and things might have changed, but never let the crowds get to you. You can use fastpass, hit all the 3-d shows when the lines are long everywhere else, ride the Disneyland RR, and you can always leave the park when it gets a little too crowded and return later. I've found out recently that we enjoy ourselves the most when we arrive at Disneyland around 5:00 pm, then stay until it closes. Granted, on busy days the fastpass tickets might be all distributed for the day, but by 11 pm, the lines are pretty short anyway =) Have fun!
