[soupy1012]

Im posting again because maybe I wasnt clear before. In mid august which would you say is the least busiest day to visit Disneyland and the least busiest day to visit California Adventure--not using early morning entry.
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
I only have 1 day for each park and want to make sure I pick the best ones. thanks

personally, i would avoid saturday and sunday at DLR in the summer like the plague.

that being said, i would probably choose DCA on friday, and DL on monday. most people getting into town early for the weekend would probably head straight to DL, and those heading out on a monday might try to "fit in" some time at DCA before leaving.

we went in mid-august last year, for 5 days. we were in line 30 minutes+ before opening. that gave us about 2 hours before the parks really started filling up with people, and we were able to get on a lot of rides during that time. however, at that time, it began to get packed quickly.

if getting on certain rides is important to you, i would definitely recommend forking out the $15 for RideMax, so that you have a detailed itinerary. we used it in august and it made the whole trip worth it. without it, we would have made it onto very few rides.

best of luck!
