I was looking at touringplans.com when we will be at DL early June.

It says DL will be more crowded on Monday and Tuesday, more so than on Saturday or Sunday. Here I was trying to plan going not on a weekend.

From what I had other places, I thought DL was almost MOST crowded on the weekends?

How much stock do you put into crowd predictions on such websites?

NOTHING, I have seen them wrong so many times I can not even count.

I find the site isitpacked.com to be fairly accurate.

It is indeed possible for Monday & Tuesday to be more crowded, depending on the week and blackout dates, as well as what else is going on at the resort.

Is it showing June 4th & 5th to be busy? Those dates aren't blocked for AP holders.
 

I like Touring Plans - it's entirely possible for the weekend to be less crowded than weekdays if the annual passholders are blocked out on the weekend and not on Mon/Tue.
 
I do see that the SoCal annual select passholders are open June 4 and 5, and is their last day before being blocked out all summer.

Would that make those days still busier than Sunday?

I had also thought that Wed.-Fri. would be busier than normal because the grad nite tickets allow for day visiting this year, but maybe I am wrong on that too.

So, if we have 4 full days to spend in the area, Sun.--Wed. (June 3-6), and we were considering a 3 day hopper, which three days may be the least crowded?

thanks for any opinions

Regarding the bolded: I think this is a good example of why TP is not very good. Last year those days were busy, because Star Tours and Little Mermaid opened the Friday before. This meant the SoCal Selects had those two weekdays to see those attractions. This year that same senario isn't playing out. There is no bigger benefit to go on the 4th and 5th as there is to go the week before. BVS, CL and the Matterhorn open a week and a half after they are blocked.

I think Sunday will be busier than Wednesday with it's Grad Nite.

Still I would go Sunday through Tuesday. Here is why, you go on Sunday even thought it's busy but it trails off at night. Then avoid Wednesday which will end with extra crowds in DL and you loose out on a relaxing end to your visit.
 
In early June there could be lots of schools groups during the week. Many locals, especially middle schoolers it seems, have year end trips then.
