Which parks for weekend of July 5-6?

[onthego103]

Our first two days in the parks will be Saturday and Sunday, July 5th and 6th. Would you follow the same rules for crowds as any other summer weekend, or will the holiday weekend totally throw that off? My guess is that all the parks will be horribly crowded that weekend, but I am hoping someone more experienced with visiting at this time will be able to help. Thanks for any input.

My guess is that all the parks will be horribly crowded that weekend, too!

I would plan for Epcot, since it absorbs so many more guests than the other parks do, and try to schedule your park hopping for either very early morning or much later in the day. Any special fireworks, etc, will certainly be swamped, so if you plan to see them (MK in particular), stake out your spot well ahead of time.

Most of all, use FastPass to your advantage. Extra Magic Hour will help a lot too, if you can drag the family out that early!

Enjoy!
