Saturday or Sunday?

[Minnie1986]

Hi All! This may seem like a futile question given the time of year, however, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'll be in the area next weekend and would like to visit Disneyland. In terms of crowds, would Saturday or Sunday be the better day? Or would it really not matter? Thanks, everyone!

For some reason, Touring Plans shows a crowd forecast of 6 out of 10 on that Saturday and 4 out of 10 on Sunday (higher the #, the busier it is) -- despite more passes being blocked out on Saturday. Not sure why! School is starting to be back in session throughout SoCal, so in general, weekends should start picking up while the week days will get less crowded.

Thanks! Maybe I’ll switch my visit to a week day.

Just use the AP calendar and pick the day with the most blockouts. Touring Plans is stuck in the 2000's and hasn't caught on that Saturdays are the slowest days of the week in summer.

Most blogs and travel books are clueless or oblivious to what the AP blockout calendar does to crowds. Ignore them and just pick the day of the week with the most AP blockouts.
