Disneyland August 2016 Hours (Earlier closure third week?)

[TrueNorthDisney]

We are headed to Disneyland for the third week of August (15-20). I've just noticed that the park closes at midnight for the first two weeks, and the fourth week, but closes at 11 when we are there. Is this an indication that crowds might be lighter? Or is something else affecting the hours? Thanks in advance!

I would assume they are anticipating slightly lower crowds as kids start going back to school, but an uptick the week after since SoCal APs are allowed back in.

Great! Thanks for the response. We switched from the fourth week to the third and I was worried about it being busier, but this is reassuring

Summer crowds start to wane mid-August.
