? for DL Experts: Which day is least busiest for DL?

[c&m]

We are going on March 13-18. We have 3-day park hoppers. Which 3 days are best to visit the parks? Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues? I was thinking maybe Sat/Mon/Tues. What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Sundays are usually less busy than Saturday. Get to the parks by opening time and you should be okay. Start at DL, grab as many FP you can get (Indy and Space Mtn-theese 2 rides usually have the longest lines) and save them for later in the afternoon or early in the evening. Then when the people start streaming in, usually around 11 a.m., cross over to DCA and do that park. Then you can cross back over later and use your FP. Monday and Tuesday should be quiet.

We usually start with SM and grab a FP and also ride it. By the time we get off SM it's usually time to grab another FP. Indy or Big Thunder.

Have fun!

I agree. Saturdays are the busiest days of the week because a lot of DLR's attendance comes from locals who come on the weekends. This is different from WDW's attendance where it is mostly tourists/vacationers. Go Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and if (I'm assuming you will since you bought 3 days tickets) you have MM use it on Sunday.

Thanks very much! I was afraid you'd say Sun/Mon/Tues. We arrive late Fri night and for us to be in the vicinity of DL on Sat and not go in...well, it won't be easy for the kids.

If possible I would make this decision after park hours and entertainment are posted for March. With the days you have available I think Sat/Mon/Tue would be fine. Whether Sat or Sun, it will be crowded. Maybe Sat is worse, but they will both be a challenge.

If entertainment is ramped up then you may think about Mon/Tue/Wed. Are you leaving the area on Wed or on Thursday? In other words would you have Wed for a full day visit?

Hydroguy,

I'm taking my family of six for their first Disney trip (first trip out of Canada) Tuesday April 7 to Saturday April 11. I realize Friday and Saturday should be busy with the Easter long weekend, but do you think it will be a little less busy Tuesday to Thursday?

Thanks.

I am no expert on this. I know what park hours DLR posts (which is a good indicator of expected crowds) and what people say. It has always seemed to me that apart from holiday weeks, weekdays are less crowded than weekends - on average. For me personally I would fo Tuesday-Thursday in your situation if possible.
