Tuesday and Wednesday of President's week

[Hollywog]

Hello! This is my first post. I grew up in San Francisco, so my childhood consisted of yearly trips to Disneyland. I now live in Texas, and we're going to visit family in Arizona in a couple of weeks, and plan to take a side trip to Disneyland/California Adventure. I kind of thought that the week of President's Day (Tuesday and Wednesday) would be a good time to go, but now I am reading that it's crowded. Who would have thought? I thought most schools were just out for the Monday. Now I am kind of stressing because I really enjoy Disneyland when it's not crowded and usually plan our trips for those times. We will be taking our 3 and a half year old and our 10 month old daughter and wanted the least stress as possible.
Is it just a little crowded? Really crowded?
Thanks!!

I don't think it will be packed or anything, maybe a little more crowded that say this Tuesday and Wednesday were, but not as crowded as late March or early April when everyone is on spring break. I think many people take advantage of a 3 day weekend to take a short vacation without using as many vacation days so they add a couple days before or after the holiday.
Don't stress, it should be plenty manageable, and you'll be at Disneyland so you can't help but have fun!

Yeah, I just don't know how well my 3 and a half year old will do with lines. He's a bit hyper. I'm thinking we'll just get to the park early, take a break in the afternoon, and come back in the evening. We'll be doing a 2-day hopper.

Not only that, but a lot of school districts have a Mid-Winter Break around that time, some the few days prior to President's Day, and others the few days after.
