1	LVTiffy Mon 7/14/2008 5:03p	thinking about making a trip to disneyland/california adventures sometime in aug. We would either go for 1 day or maybe even 2 days to visit the parks. It would be August 12th, or 13th or both or maybe even August 19th and 20th...both on tuesday and wed. how packed do you think the park would be on these days? i heard the park is less busy this summer because of gas prices. any help or opionons are greatly appeciated! thanks!

So, I think you're about 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other, especially comparing the two Mondays more tourists on the 12th, more passholders on the 19th. If you can swing the second day I would really try to do that, but I know sometimes it's just not possible. If you can't swing the second day, I would buy a one park only pass and go just to Disneyland. It's about $10 cheaper than a parkhopper, and you'll find PLENTY at Disneyland to fill one day to the brim.

6	LuLu Mon 7/21/2008 10:27a	I would take the later dates. On weekdays even APs are more likely to be working, or getting ready for back-to-school. There may be a mad rush back to the parks on the 17th, a Sunday, the first day SoCal APs are allowed back in. But it should calm down after that. And really, what % of parkgoers on any given day are SoCal APers? If you have only 1 day, I'd do Wednesday the 20th.
