What days would you use...

[Mom2Joce]

Ok, so we'll be in the parks this week M - F, we have 3 days of GAD Fastpasses that we want to use but would like to use them on "busier days"...which days would those be?
Maybe Monday, Friday and ?

Also, we have one MM, should be use it Tues or Thur?

Not that I am an expert, but I would personally guess that a Tuesday would be much slower than a Thursday. I would use the MM on Tuesday since it'll be really quiet.

Good luck

I would definitly go on Friday, it's your only chance for fireworks and Alladin in DCA. SoCal AP holders are blocked out then too so it may turn out to be a slower day of the week.

For your GAD FP I would go a day and then if the next is busier use it, slower save it for the third.

Though if you use MM I would use the GAD FP a different day you can get a good jump on Tomorrowland or Fantasyland rides and then you can go slower the rest of the day having fot so much done early.

We are definitely going to the park on Friday, HOPING for low winds

Thanks for the tips on the days. Might use the GAD Fast Passes on:
Monday (for those long weekenders)
Tuesday
THURSDAY (our MM)
Friday (I know you mentioned it's a block out day...I'll take that into consideration

Now watch, Wed. will be CRAZY BUSY!! Hehehehe!!

It's ok, just trying to weigh all the odds

I probably wouldn't use the FPs on your MM day unless you are planning to take a long afternoon break--you'll get plenty of rides in without those FPs.

Here's another thought, in particular if you find that the parks aren't so busy (making the FPs less valuable). If your family likes to sleep in, it MIGHT be worth sleeping in a little and then using your FPs on that day. (They say you can claim the FPs up to 11 AM but perhaps not later.) If you're getting to the parks at opening on the other four days (or even three days), it's very likely that you'll get on all the rides eventually with no problems at all. I do think the parks are downright magical first thing in the morning, but if your energy gets low (which happened to me in June even WITH daily afternoon breaks), sleeping in may hold some appeal.

Of course, that said, if you're set on using your MM on Thursday, then if Disneyland is a high priority, the only day I'd recommend as a sleep-in day would be Tuesday, since Wednesday is not a MM day (and thus you have another chance of doing Fantasyland upon park entry). There's also the extra-long afternoon break option too.

Have a great trip!

Thanks so much for your thought...we are taking this trip leisurely so the sleep in is a great option...And we will get there before 11am!
