What days to book EP on 4 day trip

[mspencer]

I am looking to splurge for 1 night at Royal Pacific during my March 28-April 3 stay to get the EP. 2 of my days will be on the weekend and 2 during the week. Is it better to book the hotel for the weekend and have the EP then or book during the week with EP and follow up on the weekend to hit whatever we decide we liked or missed. Does it matter which way I do things. I know weekdays are typically slower so maybe I don't need EP. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I would hit the Saturday if you can. It will be the day where you see the biggest benefit from EPs, and the day where the "exploring" would be most crowded. Either Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun EP will be a huge benefit during Spring.

Weekend. You get EPs for both check in and check out day.

Are you doing a full park day on the 3rd? If you're only doing a few hours before you leave, I'd do Thurs so you have two full days of ep on Thurs/Fri. If you have a full day I would do Fri so you have Fri/Sat.

We have a 9 pm flight on Saturday. I considered a park that day or we could do a pool day. Just trying to figure best "days" to have the EP. I am thinking Thursday night stay would give me Thur and Fri all day. Depending if I do 1 or 2 days prior to that, I may just use the last day on Saturday and hit some favorites or rides that don't get long lines.

That's a pretty full day but it's also the Saturday before Easter so I'd expect it to be extra crowded. The preceding days should be crowded too because of Easter breaks. I'd plan on a pool day Sat with maybe a few early hours in the park if you feel like using a ticket and I'd use Thurs/Fri for the EP.
