Sat 8/28 MGM vs TL vs DQ - crowds

[southgal]

Which of these 3 (MGM, TL, DQ) would be least crowded on Sat 8/28? Considering it's a Saturday, which would locals be more likely to crowd? We'll get to whichever one when it opens, so surely that will help some, but figured locals would get there early as well. We'll be doing the other 2 (as well as the remaining parks) during the next week, but am mostly concerned about a Saturday. Thanks for any help.

southgal,

All places you mentioned can be crowded on a Saturday. Crowds begin to diminish at WDW in late August, so MGM might be a good choice. MGM is scheduled for early-entry that day, so if you're staying on property, you could arrive early and have fun until the crowds hit. But MGM could be a good place to be all day; I've enjoyed it on many a Saturday. TL and DQ are almost always less crowded during the week.
