Hey there Anita,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! It looks like you're getting a big jump on planning your trip to the Disneyland Resort - fantastic! We're all planners here as well so you're in good company.
There are a few things I consider when thinking about
the best time to visit the Happiest Place on Earth. In general, if you visit during the busier times of year, you'll likely have a bit longer wait times for attractions but most attractions should be up and running. If instead you visit during slower times of the year, you'll likely have shorter wait times but there may be more attractions down for refurbishment during your visit.
Personally, my favorite times of the year to visit are during the
Halloween and/or the
Christmas seasons! There are decorations, seasonal treats, characters dressed in themed costumes, and more. It's such a special time to visit. For the past few years, my family and I have visited in the middle of November as a way to kick off the holiday season and it's worked out really great for us.
One other thing I'll note is that there is still quite a bit of time before your trip and a lot can (and likely will) happen or be announced! So I would also recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog to hear all the news you need to know about the Disneyland Resort.
Thanks again for your question, Anita! I hope you have fun planning your next trip to the Disneyland Resort.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
