Hey Paul,

I agree on all accounts, and have tried to come up with an alternate
time to do Disneyland, but so far haven't much luck. We tend to do
vacations on the cheap, so the cost of 4 plane tickets would probably
more than double the total vacation cost, which is not an option for
us. We probably won't spend much time in SoCal if we go in the summer
- just do DL, then get away from the heat & crowds. My concern is how
far we might have to go to get away!
Another possibility is October, but it's tough for me to get away from
work for more than 1 week during the school year.
