Which day for which park?
| Mon, 09-10-2007 - 8:42am |
I remember reading something about how certain days of the week are traditionally more crowded at certain parks. I think it was on Allears, but I can't seem to find it. We're staying off site (April)so I know to check the EMH schedule, but I also wanted to plan my ADRs and try to avoid the crowded days if possible. Does anyone have this info?



I couldn't find the page on all ears that I thought I'd seen before, but I copied this quote from another site. I think it is really close to the other info I couldn't find :)
The busiest days at all parks are generally Saturday and Sunday. Seven-day guests usually arrive and depart on one of these days, so fewer of them turn the turnstiles; but weekends are when locals and Florida commuters come to play. Beyond that: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday are pretty frantic in the Magic Kingdom; Tuesday and Friday are hectic at Epcot; Sunday and Wednesday are crazy at Disney-MGM Studios; and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are a zoo (forgive the pun) at the Animal Kingdom. Periods around major holidays also attract throngs -- mid-December through the first weekend in January is busy beyond belief. Crowds tend to thin later in the day, so if you're going to visit during the busy season and have included the Park Hopper option on your ticket, you'll bump into fewer guests the later you visit. This also applies to the water parks.

We were at the MK the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Fantasyland was practically deserted the first few hours of the day. By the time lunch time arrived (and for the rest of the day) it only got progressively more crowded.

Sorry about that! I didn't really notice that comment when I posted, but I agree with you. Most areas tended to get more crowded as the day progressed with a few exceptions. I was really looking for something to give her an idea on which days the parks are generally the busiest. There is some good info on touring plans dot com, but you have to subscribe to get some of the info. In fact, I tried to copy and past from there, but it was in a table format and did not paste well. I think it was at the bottom of the crowd calendar page (free info).
Sorry again, didn't mean to post bad advice.
