How crowded will August be?

[disneylover102]

I’m thinking of going in August to Disneyland because I can’t wait to go to SWGE even if ROTR isn’t open yet and I’ve got to go before Hyperspace Mountain closes. How crowded do people think it will be? It’s been ridiculously not crowded since it opened for people with reservations, but I wonder how much more crowded it will be when people don’t need reservations, since those who wanted to go as soon as it opened will have already gone with a reservation.

Also, what do we know for sure about the virtual queue? I heard that you won’t need a pass to get into the land if you get there first thing and I heard you might not need one at night either. If this was true, I was just thinking I might be able to rope drop MFSR, get a Pass into the land in the middle of the day and do Single Rider for it, and come back at night and do it at park closing. Do we know that won’t be possible?

Once the reservations for SWGE are over, the Parks should get busier, but I think its been a surpirse how quiet this opening weekend has been. Your better option would probably be to go the first half of August rather than the last two weeks. Check the Annual Passes Blockout Calendars: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/ D23 Expo runs August 23 - 25 and will be bringing crowds to Anaheim. While the Parks may be quiet during the actual Expo it will likely be pretty busy a few days before and a few days afterwards.

Try asking this in the August Check-In thread. Everyone there is planning a visit in August, so this topic is timely for them.
