What's the last week in Aug/first week in Sep like?

Hydroguy or anyone who knows:

What are the crowds like first week in Sep/last week of Aug? We want to take our boys before school starts Sep 7. Will most kids be back to school during that time?

Many kids will be back in school, but obviously not all. I beleive LAUSD single track does not go back until Sept 13. In addition, you may have an influx of SoCal AP holders who were backed out during the summer until late August. And then there's the holiday weekend crowds.

So I would expect busy but not crazy crowds, with significant crowds in the evenings. Go to the parks early, use fastpasses and you can have a great visit! -- Suzanne

Half marathon is also Labor Day weekend.

There is also the Half Marathon Weekend during Labor Day Weekend - some crowds, but not obscene wait times.

We'd like to head home before Labor Day weekend.
