If you could only do DL 1 day in Feb--would you pick Thursday, Friday or Sunday?

We will be in S. Cal the last weekend in Feb. I want to go to DL at least one day, hoping to convince dh to go 2 days. We just went in October and know it's best to go longer, but we'll be lucky to squeeze in 1 or 2 days since we just happen to be in S. Cal for a wedding. I can't decide if we should do a weekday, for less crowds (Thursday 26th, maybe Monday 3/1), or Friday or Sunday for longer hours and maybe Fantasmic will be running. We have missed Fantasmic the last 2 trips--last time it wasn't running. I'd love to see that. WWYD if it were just 1 day and which would you pick if we can do 2 days?

Thursday or Sunday.

Actually I would disagree with both of the PP's suggestions. Here's why:

1) Friday is not a Magic Morning day. Assuming that you aren't staying onsite, you won't have MM with a 1 (or 2) day ticket. Therefore, I'd choose Friday when there won't be people in the park before you enter like there would be on Thursday or Sunday. You get the same start as everybody else.

2) Longer hours like you said is a plus. If you can get there early (8AM or earlier), you can actually get a ton done in one day. Fantasmic is always a bonus, but it might be going down for refurb during that time. I'm not positive.

3) You might think that since Friday is like the weekend it is crowded. It only will get crowded during the evening. That means you have the whole morning and early afternoon to run around the park. And if you use your time wisely, you can hit most major attractions during this time.

For 2 days, Thursday and Friday. Just on Thursday start on the "left" side of the park (adventureland, frontierland) and on Friday hit Fantasyland because of MM reasons.

I still say Thursday for the least amount of crowds. And Sunday if you want to see more entertainment.

We'll be going Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday on our upcoming trip.

I would do Friday, I'd try to do Thursday as well but I would do Friday for sure.

Thanks guys! I got dh to agree to 2 days and it looks like he prefers Sun & Mon. Hopefully with Monday not being early entry that will work well.
