I am taking my wife and 4 little ones to Disneyland Monday the 16th through Friday the 20th. I have read all the threads I could but can't formulate a guess as to how busy the parks will be. I assume they will be busier due to the 50th celebration buty am not sure since school is not out yet.

Any guesses?

Since you'll be there on weekdays when most schools are still in session, you shouldn't have much problem with crowds. I would expect minimal waits, but be sure to hit Fantasyland first if your little ones are interested in Peter Pan and Dumbo. Those rides tend to get long lines even with light crowds.

Have fun and please share how everything went when you return. :)

Weekdays are better. NOt quite summer yet. So THey should not be tooo Unbearable!. That is just my thought.

I don't think you'll see a huge crowd difference from the 50th. It will probably be like any other year at that same time. Weekdays rock!!! Have a great time!

I am with Wendi. I don't think the 50th is drawing more crowds yet. People will always pull their kids out of school to go to the parks and avoid crowds, but I still think weekdays during the school year are better than summer.
Have a wonderful time!

A couple days that week are days when cast members can bring their familes in for free to see all the 50th stuff so there may be more people.

Which days????

I am planning on going either Tuesday or Wednesday that week...no matter what the crowds are like I can always retreat into the pleasant confines of Club 33 but rather enjoy the park.

Everyone will be seeing Star Wars III on the 19th & 20th so the park should be empty. In all seriousness, it shouldn't be busy at all those days. The 17-19th should be the lightest days.

The 50th CM Experience Days are May 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 22. Also, I was in the park this evening and it seemed more crowded to me than a usual May weekday. I don't know numbers but just my perception of the crowds. Oh, and the minimum number of tickets each CM gets is 4 (1 for themself plus three guests). Those with larger families obviously get more tickets.

WAHHHHH!!! No no no! Darn you crowds!!! (Let me have my moment to whine) WAHHHHHHHH!!! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
Hmmm.. weird... why not the 18th? Is something going on that day I do not know about? :confused: (It's my son's 4th birthday on the 18th.)

I don't know how many tickets for CMs they allot per day but I ran into five sets of CMs I knew today. I'm sure there were more in the park that I either didn't know or just didn't run into. I really just wanted to see the parade and fireworks so I never got beyond the hub with the exception of Buzz.
