Would it be EXTREMELY crowded during that time. Like Splash above a 100 minute wait. I'm going to go to the park that saturday the 16 so please info on if it's going to be crowded.

Please help.

I don't think it would be any more crowded than any other summer weekend. Wonder if they will do anything on the 17th to celebrate Disneyland's 50th?

MK is ALWAYS crowded on a Saturday, and during July it's even more crowded. Hard to tell about any given day but a 100 minute wait for Splash on a july Saturday is certainly possible.

Get to the park when it opens, and use FastPass as much as you can.

We will be there July 19-22. We normally go in the summer, but never for this short of a trip. Luckily, we are going during the week, so hopefully that will help the insanity some (but I doubt it!!)

Yes, it will be VERY crowded. Plan to stay at MK until it closes; you'd be surprised how many times you can get on the attractions with no wait after 9pm when the families go home (this applies to any of the parks). Our DD and DS have done ToT 12 times in a row with no wait (DH and I gave up after 5 and sat and talked while they continued). Do Splash Mtn during the first evening parade and then you see the final parade when the crowd clears. It's neat to do it in the dark; the views are unbelievable and totally different than what you see during the day. Be sure and get a PS/AR for any sit down meals you want to do those days. You will not be able to stop in and get one at the last minute.
We go in July and always have a blast but you do have to plan ahead and of course use Fastpasses.
Because we stay until the parks close, we don't plan on getting to the parks until 11am or so. We relax around the resort, sleep in, swim, etc. That strategy works extremely well for us during the most busy times. Enjoy!!

Well I went Memorial day Weekend on a SATURDAY and it wasnt that crowded. Like at least in the morning it wasnt so hey. Or what about that sunday. Anyday please.

As I said above, if you go in the morning it will be less crowded. It gets worse the later in the day you arrive.

No one here can really tell how crowded it will be the three days you'll be there. We can only estimate based on our own past experiences. Any time you go while schools are closed it will be crowded, and weekends are more crowded than weekdays.
