I went the beginning of May, and DL was much busier, but I'm not sure if DCA is getting busier. I didn't exactly compare, but this info is from the people who were on the shuttle back to the hotel with me.
DL hands down is more crowded. Also I think DL will always feel more crowded because DCA was designed with large walkways and parade route in mind and more open spaces. Things at DCA never really seem to bottle neck like they do in DL.
We park hop alot and found the wait for all DL attractions were greater than the "E Tickets "attractions in DCA.
