If your experiences, what do you think the best two weekdays do go are?

We'll be in California Monday September 27th - Friday October 1st. We will only be doing TWO full days. And then in addition to that, maybe just a half day.

I'm trying to decide on which two days will be the full days. I'm wondering which days would be the least crowded. I'm thinking we should probably avoid Friday, right?

I also wonder if Mondays would be more crowded if people decide to take long weekends?

What are your thoughts?

- What hotel will you be staying at? (will you be on-site?) It makes a difference.

- & you said "maybe a half day".....yes do the extra half day & get a 3 day park hopper. :thumbsup2

The simple, easy answer would be Tuesday & Wednesday or Wed & Thurs. But if you're going to do 2.5 days (& you get a 3 day park hopper) then you'd be entitled to ONE day MM......so you could do Tuesday / Wednesday & Thursday Morn. (with MM) :banana:

& in order of days to avoid...yes avoid the weekends, then friday, then monday....leaving Tue/Wed/Thurs as your best days.

I agree. :thumbsup2
 
I agree with the above and am wondering if you're a Dr. Who fan ~ Amy (Amelia) Pond is the new Dr.'s companion :3dglasses
 

Thanks! I was already leaning towards those days but wanted to see what everyone else thought too.

We are definitely getting a 3-day hoppper. And I think we can actually get the 5-day for the price of the 3-day. We'll still only do two full days (because we have other non-Disney things planned.) We'll be at the Anaheim Plaza Hotel so we'll be walking to the parks. Since we'll probably have the 5-day, if we have time or get bored or something, we can always head to the parks for a couple hours a day, if we want.

And yes, I am a Doctor Who fan. :thumbsup2 I'm trying to find a good Doctor Who avatar to use.

We spent a couple nights at the Plaza last Sept ~ I'd stay there again if the price was right *$60 or less* Here's my tip ~ cross Harbor right by the hotel, don't wait till you get to the parks, you'd cross with everybody else if you did that.

What do you think of the new Doctor? I like him, but I miss David.
 
We're local so we go very frequently. In going alot these last couple months i've definitely have come to the conclusion that Tuesday & Wednesdays are slower and less crowded. Monday is a day most are coming back from a weekend of blackout days and Friday everyone and their mother goes because of the backout days coming up (Sat-Sun) for alot of people. Plus, the locals like to take their kids when they are out of school for the day on Friday.

We've stayed at the Anaheim Plaza a few times before. You really can't beat the price. We're barely in the room so we don't care too much about anything else. Yeah, that's where we usually cross over, unless we decided to eat at Denny's.

I'm really liking the new Doctor! I do miss David too though. He was fantastic. We like to watch seasons 1-4 on Netflix fairly often. (We also love Torchwood!)

Thanks for the advance. Tuesday and Wednesday are looking better and better!
