Saturdays not that bad?

[chrisann]

Aside from holiday weekends and special weekends, are Saturdays crazy busy, I always thought they were so we avaoided them, but I just read somewhere that Saturdays aren't that bad because most people are using that astheir traveling/arrival day. Anyone have any experience on Saturday? I thought there was a chart somewhere that showed the best days to go the different parks. Thanks!

I don't know about anyone else, but we arrived on a Sunday in September of last year (Sunday to Sunday) and found the parks were not crowded (never even had to use a fast pass) until Saturday!! That day was the worst of our trip as far as crowds go (although since it was September it wasn't as bad as I've seen it in the summer months).

We've found Saturdays to be fairly good for the MK. Not as good as Tuesdays, but not all that bad. The exception is 3 day weekends. I haven't gone near Xmas or the 4th and so couldn't tell you what it was then. Of course everything is probably packed then.

Unofficial Guide says that Saturday's aren't bad in general because it is a travel day for most. The crowd level calendar is on pages 34- 43 of the 2006 edition or you can see it at touringplans.com .

In 2004, we were at Disney-MGM on the the Saturday of our trip. We found it a bit crowded, but this may be because of the size/layout of the park. This year, we will be staying over two Saturdays. The first Saturday we will be resort-hopping to see all the decorations and on the second Saturday (the day before we leave), we will spend a few hours at the water park and then have dinner at Jiko planned. I didnt intentionally leave the two Saturdays as non-park/easy days, but thats the way it worked out.
