I apologize if someone has already asked but I could not see anything when I looked
Our first day in the park is Friday February 12 we fly home Thursday Feb.18. We have five day hoppers.

We have talked about our down day being Presidents Day Feb (Monday), which day do most think will be the busiest in the park Sat/Sun/Mon?

Appreciate it thanks

Without blackout checking, I'd say Sat. Some folks would likely be flying home on Mon.
 
Sunday's always seem the busiest to me in DL, even on a holiday weekend. I hope it's not Monday as I will be there just for the day :)
 
Here is the AP Blockout information:
  • Deluxe: 2/13-14 (Sat-Sun)
  • SoCal Select: 2/12-15 (Fri-Mon)
  • SoCal: 2/13-15 (Sat-Mon)
So, Sat and Sun have the most AP blocked out (all three levels), but that is when I think the most day-guests (non-AP) are likely to be in the parks. I don't know if Soarin' is important to you, but according to the operating calendar, it'll be running on Sat and Sun, but not on the weekdays (including Monday, despite being Presidents Day).

The hours and entertainment seem pretty similar between Sat, Sun, and Mon, so given that you'll be starting on Friday in the parks, I would probably opt to skip Sunday or Monday (more towards the middle of the trip, rather than at the start).

I love you!!We did not realize Soarin' is open on the weekends while we are there, I thought it was down the whole time, so that is likely the nail in the coffin we will stick with our original plan and skip Monday. We were already pouting about Splash (seems like every other trip it is down) and Fantasmic so this will soften the blow! thank you for the heads up. thanks for weighing too Tina and Bud Ice.
 
I think Sunday will be the busiest. A lot of people travel home Monday so they can get back to work and school on tuesday.

The Greek Dance competion is also happening that weekend (Thurs-Mon) but a lot of people will go to Disneyland on Sunday since most of their dancing is done on Fri and Sat. This competition has around 5,000 people that attend (obviously they don't all go to Disneyland though).
