Best Days for Which Park?

[foohpah]

We are flying out for a quick weekend visit when there is a long weekend for school. We are coming in from Missouri - arriving midday on Thursday, 10/28 and leaving very early on Sunday morning, 10/31. We will have three day park hoppers and hope to spend Thursday evening in the parks and all day Friday and Saturday. Two adults and a 16 year old. Veteran WDW family but 2/3 have never been to DL before. I tried to get OBB tickets when they opened for 10/30 but got shut out. There is an OBB both Thursday and Saturday evenings so we know we will need to be in DL those evenings. I want to spend at least one evening in CA so that would have to be Friday. As far as crowds go would Saturday be a better day for CA since the OBB will be going on that night - didn't know if the party meant lower crowds during the day? So would Friday be a better DL day/CA night and then do CA day/DL night on Saturday? Not sure how crowded those nights are at DL when there is an OBB going on? It would be nice to have one less crowded night at DL but I don't see how that will ever fit into our plans.

I look at it from a couple angles, what do you want to rope drop? I didn't make a reservation for DCA in the morning for our last trip and upcoming because we would only rush to two rides, cars then Guardians. You get so much more done in the mornings at Disneyland, in particular on crowded days. Also, what is your virtual queue priority? If it's Rise of the Resistance, make the Disneyland reservations. I would take two potential rides on Rise over Webslingers any day.
