| Is 2009 a bad year to visit DLR? Just wondering what the status is on all the rehabs over at Disney's California Adventure. My DBF and I have been wanting to go to Cali and I was planning to try and save for a possible DLR vacation next summer. Is this a bad idea since we've never been and they are revamping DCA?

| If you skip 2009 you may also want to skip '10, '11, and maybe even '12, since they'll be making all sorts of changes over this period. Personally, I wouldn't stay away at all. There won't ever be more than a handful of attractions closed at any one time, and you've got that other little park just across the way if DCA isn't enough for you.

| I can't remember a time when I have visited DLR when there wasn't something down for refurbishment. I would hate to have you postpone; there will be plenty to do. They never have more than a couple attractions down at once, I am sure you will be fine!

| They're pretty good at staggering the closings. Definitely give it a shot

| Coolbeans! Thanks for all the great info. We've never been to DLR but I know at WDW they do the same thing and stagger everything. I think we would be more into the DL side over DCA but we are HUGE Soarin' fans. Here's hoping for a big tax return! lol!

| Also, consider that they try to do less rehab during the summer, which is when you mentioned traveling. So, there's a good chance that you'll be there when fewer things are "down".

| Thanks again! I promised myself I would not plan another Disney trip until I pay off my credit cards so if its in my stars NY (or fed) will be sending me a fat tax refund check next spring! LOL! BTW, thanks for the tip about less rehabs in Summer-- and did DLR not have a Small World right before??

| Well, DLR will have to wait for us until 2010-- we just got engaged and are shooting to get married this summer! So we will be a-honeymoonin somewhere tropical instead of hitting up DLR!
