Visit Memorial Day weekend or same days as Grad Nites

[Bob Ray]

If you had to visit DL & DCA with these 2 options, which would you choose? Family of 4 and we have 4 day park hopper tickets.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend, plus Wednesday (Grad nite) June 1?
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday June 1-5? Wednesday and Friday are Grad nites. Saturday also is so I'm avoiding it since it's both Saturday and a Grad nite.
I'm just trying to compare crowds and thinking of holiday travel, some schools still in session the week after Memorial Day, Believe Passholders blocked Memorial Day weekend, Grad Nites attracting grads, but probably only to DCA since the parkhopper for those has increased so much...
Is there a clear winner here?

I went there once with 2 grad nights happening over our 5 days. The grad nights were the least crowded days of our trip (we were in Disneyland both days, not DCA). I’d go with the grad nights

Memorial Day weekend is also Star Wars Celebration at the Convention Center. Star Wars Nite on Fri 5/27 might cause crowds to be larger at DL on Sat and Sun nights.

I would avoid Memorial Day weekend, especially this year!

Oh wow thank you so much for pointing out SWC at convention center! I knew DCA had star wars nite Friday and thought that would make for a great low crowd Saturday. But avoiding all of that weekend sounds like a much better option now!

Star Wars Nite is Disneyland park, while Grad Nights are DCA.

Check hotel prices/availability for the dates you are looking and that will be a good indicator of which dates to choose. The higher prices/less availability usually equals more crowds in the park. I would totally choose grad nights over the Memorial Day weekend this year, except we are going to the SWAD party on 5/27 so I'm an unreliable source
