Weekday or Weekend?

I hear they only do shows and parades on the weekend, but crowds are lower during the week? What's a Disney Diva to do?

Actually the crowds are often lower on the weekends due to Magic Key blockout days. I'd go on the weekend and enjoy the shows!

Fireworks and Fantasmic will probably move to just weekends in the fall. For the summer everything happens every single night. Once school starts that changes. It will depend on the time of year you go!

But to the above poster the weekend/weekday thing is not the same at Disneyland. Monday is historically a busier day.

We're going in May and staying onsite - does this change anything?

May is a great time to go. The new shows/parades/entertainment usually start towards the end of May. I'm a fan of Fri/Sat at the parks. Friday is very laid back until after 5:00pm when everyone gets off work and goes to the park. Saturday has long hours with most everything open. Having all the entertainment on the weekend gives the crowds other places to go. There might be more people overall, but it will feel less crowded.
