Busiest days?

[ChisJo]

What seem to be the busier days in the parks? Also, are there lockers, and what are the fees for the day?
Thanks, J

Bumping this up because I would like to know the answer as well. There seems to be plenty of info available concerning the Disney parks' least crowded days, what about US/IOA...do they have better days?

Saturday is the busiest day. I think Sundays are the least busy.

This would be how I rate them from busiest to least busy: (Dark Maurder, feel free to correct me, if I'm wrong.)

Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, and Sunday.

(I seldom find crowds on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.)

Thank you so much! We were thinking of going next year and will plan on Sunday-Tuesday, perfect!

I checked IOA Central for some threads on least crowded days and they all seemed to say Sunday and Monday were the least crowded also. Of course, if a holiday falls on a Monday, then it will be crowded then.

I found this at IoA Central:

• Lockers – $5 (Guests have unlimited access to these lockers all day.)

Lockers are also available at Incredible Hulk Coaster, MIB, Dueling Dragons, Mummy, and Jurassic Park River Adventure. Fee is $1.00 per hour with a $10.00 per day maximum. These lockers are free for at least the first 60 minutes. Times may vary, so check with the individual attractions for specific time lengths.

According to Kelly Monaghan, the weekdays are the least busy - just like you guys think.

She does mention, however, that there are those that think the weekends are less busy, because during the week businesses use these parks for employee parties or customer appreciation parties. She told a story about arriving 15 minutes before the gates open to find thousands of Sony employees already in the park!

Apparently you can call the park 48 hours in advance to see if there is anything scheduled.

These lockers are free for the first 60 minutes, and then $1 an hour afterward? I need to stash the cameras before riding!

I am at the parks almost everyday at least for a few hours since I have to drive my son to work. It seem that more and more businesses are renting the parks after hours. That has cut down on the big groups somewhat. But there are often cheerleading competitions, band competitions, and school field trips, etc.

Out of the many days I spend at the park though, I have seldom seen crowds on Sunday or Monday. As far as least busy hours, from park opening until about 11:00, the parks are pretty empty. Around 11:00 people start arriving and don't start leaving until around 4 or 5:00.
