Normally I'm an off-season Disney kind of guy, but I have a cahnce to go during the week of June 7th. Obviously we're talking summer crowds. Any ideas as far as Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday possible being the lightest crowd wise or will it even matter?

It used to be that Wednesday was the slowest day of the week because people are more likely to take Monday or Friday off or even Tuesday or Thursday. Taking off the middle of the week is usually more inconvenient. Don't know if that's still true.

I went one Summer Thursday to DL to meet my niece and family. It was the absolute busiest day I've ever seen in the park next to NYE.

You just never know.

it is true. you just really never know about the crowds in the summer. especially during the week. weekends are given that it will most likely be crowded. but i found tues-thurs to be calmer than most. but there are many factors that play into it as well. holiday times, weather. if its going to be really hot, you might not see a lot of parents with small children for most of the day. but you will see long lines for splash, grr, etc. cooler days, even rain days u may see less people, although you do get those groups who believe nobody goes to theme parks on rainy days, and then they end up crowding the park ;) have fun!

Here's a better rule...the hotter it is the more people are there.

Here's an easy rule: Look at the thermometer, that's how busy it is at disneyland.

70deg - 70% busy
100deg - 100% BUSY!

Sad but true.

Weather aside, I'd bet on Wednesday, due to the mid-week factor cstephens mentioned.

When it rains. Which is rare in the summer but not unforseen.
