so my girlfriend and i just got premium annual passes so we could go on saturdays. we thought that since it wasnt any special holiday and thunder & space mountains were both closed, that it wouldnt be too crazily crowded last weekend. (3/6, 3/7). anyway, to make a long story short we were WAY wrong and it was very very crowded and we were wondering if there was some place on the web where we could find out when the lulls in crowds were.
Ive heard from friends that the weekends following newyears were so light that they could walk right onto most rides without a wait.
Any other weekends all you regulars know about that we could go and not wait 2 hours for splash mountain? What other holidays should we wait for so we can go to disneyland the following weekend?

THANKS A MILLION!!

1) Any day that isn't a Holiday.

2) Any day that isn't above 75degs (It was 90 yesterday)

3) Tues - Weds

4) Any HOLIDAY where the holiday is monday (Travelling Day)

5) And any day there aren't Fricking Cheerleaders!

Your friend is right, you can go right after new years. It's cold, and no holiday. But if you want to go on a holiday go if it is a Monday, no one is there as everyone just spent 3 days (F-Su) and wants to go home on Monday.

Have you been to DL during Cheerleader Season? What a ZOO!!!!!!!

I have nothing against the girls but it is crowded with the Cheerleaders, their Sponsors, and all their well wishers....gah.

Trust me, jvickery does NOT want to go during Cheerleader Season.

Usually when it rains, the crowds are pretty minimal.

Check the SoCal Passes and Deluxe Passes for the busier times, which are blocked out.
Saturdays are busy. That's why they're blocked out on SoCal and many are blocke out on Deluxe.

One cheerleader is not so bad, and I'm sure, Mr.Zogs, your daughter is a fine young lady. Thousands of them are a different story. Group mentality is a lot different from singular mentality.

There is a web site that shows crowds by date or month.

Here's one:

I believe the best time to go would be begining of spring break through oh.....end of may or so! its less crowded and durning spring break the park stays open till midnight on the weekends! its one of the best off times of the year and you definetly have a better choice of getting into the hotel you want!:p
