What parks are busiest on what days?

[michaeldorn1]

I'm sure the question has been answered many Many times on here, but I have just returned here after a very long time away. We are going to WDW this Summer after not having been for 5 years, and would like to know which parks are the least crowded on which days.
Thank you all for all of the information you supply us!

Look up Josh EasyWDW crowd calendar. It'll give you the info you're looking for. That said, every single day in summer is busy - very, VERY busy. To deal with crowds you'll want to be at the park at opening (rope drop), stay for a few hours until it gets really hot/crowded. Take an afternoon break, and then head back in the evenings.

We're going Aug. 24-29, so I know the schools are back in session, and the parks tend to be less busy then.

Actually not all schools are back in session by then. Quite a few up here in the NW don't go back til after Labor Day. Look at the crowd calendar that was posted and plan it around the suggestions listed. We are going over Labor Day weekend and are planning on avoiding any park with EMH.

It'll be busier than you're expecting. @mshanson3121 gave you good advice.

So Len Testa ( of touring plans) said that emh effect on crowds has lessened considerably over the years. 5 years ago avoiding EMH was a rule of thumb for our family. From my experience in April I think he's likely on to something. Now morning emh are doable if you don't mind getting up for it.
