I would say to go to DL on Sun and US on Mon. Usually crowds for DL is the same for Sundays and Mondays, but US should be less crowded on Mondays. And everything should be open unless otherwise noted.

Are you asking how often I go to the parks?

If you are only going to Disneyland 1 day go on a Sunday. Longer park hours and fireworks! Go to U.S. on Monday! Or Skip U.S. all together and go 2 days in DL and DCA!

we are booking the Southern California package...3 days at DLR/DCA... one day at each of the following Universal Studios, Sea World , S.D. Zoo and my main question to the people that go all the time is which day would be best to go to U.S. either Sun or Mon. Sorry I dodnt make that clear.

I have been to them both many times and I actually visited them both last week! You can basically do US in a day, but you might want to pick out some things you really want to do for DLR.
I brought my friend w/ me to US for her first time and we did everything except for Jurassic Park and House of Horrors bc we didn't want to get wet and bc we don't like getting scared.

I agree with the others have said, do US on Monday. We went there on a weekday and it wasn't crowded at all. Some rides only had a 5 minute wait. The only long one we encountered was the Simpson ride, it was like 45 minutes! My DH got pretty motion sickness from that one. They LOVED Jurrasic Park though.

We saw everything probably in 5-6 hours. Doesn't take long really. It was fun, but no DL!

Do you remeber anything being closed down due to it being a weekday? That is our main concern ...that maybe some of the shows or rides might be dark on Monday?

Not an AP holder, but have a planning suggestion for you! Seeing you are tight for time, why not do your early entry to Disneyland Sunday, then swap over for opening at DCA, which will be a little less crowded than DL during the day. Then you can do Dl on Tuesday which will be quieter!

If you do decide to do this , read hydroguy's tips. (and remember to pick up a FP for disneyland as you leave)

On entering DCA, pick up a GRR fp and an Fp for whatever else appeals - probably soarin would be the best bet. If you are supermotivated, you can always pop back into DL whenyour time window is up and pick up another FP for later in the day there too.

Hi does anyone know if U.S. has anything special related to Halloween going on during Oct.?

 

[Disneylvrforever]

They usually have their Halloween Horror Nights in October, but I didn't see anything on their site about it yet. Although USO already has it on their site. I've never been to it, I'd probably get too freaked out. But Knott's is supposed to be pretty good.
