Least crowded day at MK???

Pleae explain why you would go on the day you chose.

Off the top of my head - Mon through Thu excluding EMH days. Though there are numerous variances depending on the time of year and special events that are going on.

I think Monday is teh WORST day to go, and the weekends are the best, b/c a lot ofppl use sat. and/or sunday for travel days, and hit MK monday morning, esp. if they have kids. so contrary to what you would logically think (or at least i would logically think) saturday should be less crowded than other days!

Statistics I saw once showed that MK was most crowded on Monday.

Everyone wants to hit MK first to get the children autographs and to see the castle.
I do MK on Wed or Thursday usually, unless theres something (like MNSSHP) going on.
JMHO

It may depend on what time of year you go. During my college program it was always packed on weekends. I worked at Studios, but the CMs at MK that I talked to said that a lot of locals visit MK on weekends.

If you're curious about a specific day, Touring Plans has a calendar that projects crowds based on previous years.

That just sucks. I planned on going on a Monday, but I guess so does everyone else.

Definately Wednesday.

Saturday is when the locals go.
Sunday is when all the people arriving Saturday go.
Monday is when all the people arriving Sunday go.
Friday is when all the people leaving Saturday go.

That leaves Wednesday

I agree: Wednesday would be my choice.
Monday is one of the busiest days at MK.

I like Mondays because all the local visitors will visit the park Sat & Sun, Mondays seem pretty much low traffic in the park.

It depends on a number of things. EMH, both AM's and PM's, drive crowds to any park, thereby making them more crowded. On the other hand, pre/post EMH days will lighten the crowds. Additionally, special times of the year, holidays, major events (marathons, Gay days, Pop Warner, etc) do have their respective impacts also. I have recently relied on TGM to suggest what park/what day/night. So far, I have been very pleased with his suggestions, which take the above, among other factors, into consideration.

I voted for Monday. When we go, EMH's fall on Sunday, and Monday is generally dead at MK.

I know last Thurs. was empty when we went. Did Space Mtn. 3 times in a row. No wait. Then we went again on Sunday and it was packed.

We are planning to go to MK on a Friday (the day after an EMH). This is the Friday before MLK, so I'm hoping it won't be too busy yet.

We'll see.

The morning following a night EMH seems to be a great strategy.

What about Fridays? I wanted to go Wednesday, but I have a mama melrose fantasmic package ADR for Wednesday and I can't change it. I don't have park hopper.
