We have PAP which includes DQ. Dh and DS go all the time. Saturday nights can get very crowded. My suggestion to you upon arrival to DQ in the morning (DQ only opens late in the morning,) is to go to 1st floor and do Pirates and Jungle Cruise. Head next to Cyber Space mt. on the 2nd floor. Then go to Buzz on the 3rd floor and Mighty Duck pinball slam. Eat lunch on the 5th floor, (Quest Burgers are awesome!) Head to the waterpark between 2 and 3pm. By 3pm, the waterparks start to clear out. You can experience as much late in the day as you can 1st thing in the morning. We often head to a water park after school. Even in the winter, we can do so much between 3:30 and closing at 5pm! If you aren't too tuckered out, head back to DQ. You have the major things out of the way and can just relax and have fun playing games. Ride the Comix and Alien Encounter have lines that move quickly.
