Eh, temperatures are in the 90s right now. One-day tickets today are at their highest price tier. All the magic keys except the top tier are blocked out today. Weekdays during these types of circumstances during the summer tend to be more packed. It will be more crowded next week when one-day ticket prices drop and magic keys start coming off summer blackouts.

Agree, Saturday was the best day when we were there 2 weeks ago.

Things are backwards to the way they once were. Weekends are lower crowds, Monday's are the busiest.

Saturdays in July and early August = some of the most magical crowd conditions all year!

Its hot and most APs can't come in

Along with this summer being pretty slow for theme parks, WDW, USH, Six Flags etc

Thanks for the explanation....I'm new to all this....Had no idea summer was low season! We are going in October. If we ever decide to go again - I'll have to take a look at summer.

Halloween and Christmas at least in the past are super busy times, though we will see because crowds at theme parks are lower this year for the most part it will be interesting to see if people are willing to spend money on the parks again for the Holidays

We are coming in September and this is why I planned our park day for Saturday rather than Monday! Ticket prices for one day hoppers were insane but hopefully that means less people!

Just back. Saturday was hot but doable if you hydrated.
They closed PP briefly because someone passes out in line.
It opened right when we exited Mr. Toad and we practically walked on.
We rope dropped, no LL and no Genie.
18 attractions in 12 hours!
Reminded me of the old days

Tiered pricing.
Saturday was Tier 6 $$$$$$!

Prepare yourself....I've heard October is one of the busiest times of the year now.

Yes, October is the new July.
