Veterans Day at DL

We have 5 day passes to use during the 6 days we'll be in CA--anytime from November 12-17--which day would you skip? Veterans Day is observed on the 12th--so could potentially be crowded......whatdya think?

Definitely skip the 12th. It is an extemely busy day (one of the most of the year). However, the rest of the days should be very good crowdwise. There shouldn't be very long lines after the long weekend.

Differing opinion on crowds, yes historically Veteren's Day is a very crowded Day, however, it also has been on Frida the last couple years, causing the crowds to swell since it was just the beginning of the weekend. This year it is Monday when most people will need to be heading home so crowds could lessen as the day goes on. Second, and probably just as, if not more important, the Christmas season at Disneyland starts the weekend AFTER Veteren's Day where in the past many locals would come out for the start of the season. This year look for those crowds to hit Nov 16-17 (when we'll be arriving, too ) If you are looking purely from a crowd level, Nov 12 will most likely have lower crowds. However I personally would rather have two days with Christmas in full force in spite of increased crowds so I would go Nov 13-17. Plus this will give you two days to possibly view fireworks, since typically in Nov the winds cause many cancellations.
