Crowds Last Week in August-Kids in School?

[bdklein]

Just curious how the crowds normally are during the last week of August. Are CA kids back in school at that time? Thanks in advance for all help and comments.

Kids in school is not the issue at DLR anymore. It is the one million local AP holders. See "Understanding AP Blockouts and Impact on Crowds" http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2365983

In answer to your question, the week of Aug 22 will be swamped this year. The week of Aug 29 may or may not. In the past people have reported a big dropoff the week before Labor Day. Also park hours and entertainment dropoff too as DLR switches to off-season hours that week.

With ap's being unblocked, my experience from last year, it will be very busy, more so on the weekends. Good planning makes life go easier.
