Columbus Day Wknd Advice

[djmeredith]

We are WDW vets and have only been to DLR once 7 years ago. We arriving mid day Friday the 8th and leaving early Wednesday the 13th. Our number one priority is Avengers Campus. ROTR would be a bonus (we did it twice at WDW last year). I know Genie+/LL could affect strategies, but I would like some advice on my park days. I currently have 3 day hoppers with us booked:
DCA 8th (Fri)
DLR 11th (Mon)
DLR 12th (Tues)

I think I need to switch one of my DLR days to entry into DCA to maximize WS chances. I am also going to add another day. So my questions are:
1. Should I switch to DCA on Mon or Tues?
2. Should I add Sat or Sun as our 4th day assuming both are available (will one be any less crowded)?

Generally there is a drop off in crowds Sunday evening as people need to be at work/school Monday. However, this may not be true on holiday weekends so Sunday could look more like Saturday in terms of crowd level. So I don’t think it’ll matter too much that weekend in terms of crowd.

Sun 10th and Tues 12th are OBB days at DCA so the park will close at 6pm. So maybe add Saturday as your 4th day and start at DCA. With 2 days to try for Webslingers, you should be able to get it as long as you know the drill.

The 11th is an Oogie Boogie Bash day. That means that crowds in DCA will likely be light in the morning but lines for Guardians and a few other popular rides will get long after 3PM. Disneyland lines will likely be elevated after 6PM. Saturday will likely have slightly higher crowds from morning to early afternoon but the late afternoon and evening may see lower wait times than Sunday.

I think Tuesday could be a good day to start at DCA. People who buy non-park hoppers will likely avoid it due to Oogie Boogie Bash so before 3PM, you should see lower crowds.
