Which days? Does it even matter?

Hi everyone! We are going to universal for the first time as a family (I went in '94 with my parents) in April during Easter break for 2 days (staying one night at Royal Pacific).
My question is- I looked on the crowd calendars and it looks like the 2 days I picked (Monday 4/10-4/11) are the only days in April with a 10/10 crowd rating.
We can go any two days Monday - Friday before Easter Sunday (4/10-4/14).
I realize it is going to be busy no matter what being Easter break, but is it worth me switching my days to a crowd level of 8/10 instead of 10/10?
Just looking for opinions from people who know more about Universal than me. I'm pretty much clueless.
Thanks!

One night at Royal Pacific gives you 2 days of Express Pass, so that should help quite a bit. However, on very crowded days, even the Express Pass waits can reach 40-minute waits. If you can easily change the dates for a less-crowded time, I would. But since there isn't that much of a difference in crowd levels, I would just stick with the most convenient dates for you during the week.

Thank you! I'm going to switch us to Thursday and Friday when the crowd rating is 8/10.
