Help me pick best time to go...

My husband and I are trying to plan a 4 day trip to DW either Thurs-Mon Memorial Day Weekend or Thurs-Mon 4th of July weekend. Which is less crowded? Also-our only mod options left are CR and CBR. Any input?

I would say that Memorial Day weekend would be your better choice in terms of crowds.

we were there last july 4th and the parks were very very busy!! the closer it gets to july 4th the more the crowds pick-up. so if you are wanting fewer crowds, then memorial day would be the best choice.

According to the planning books I have (Rita Aero's and the Passporter) July 4th is as crowded as Easter and Christmas. Memorial Day is comparable to Thanksgiving and less crowded than the first option and it appears to be pretty comparable to "regular" summer crowds. July 4th would also be a little hotter. Remember too that usually when it is more crowded the parks are open later to compensate and usually more parades and shows scheduled (never a sure thing the way the hours have been lately but it's usually this way). Have fun!
