which days will be least crowded, June 12 - 19th?

[RenMan]

Hey, gang! Haven't posted here in a long time, but my wife and I are heading to LA in mid-June. I know that with the new rides it's going to be crowded every day during our visit, June 12 - 19th, but I'm wondering if y'all could help us figure out which days will be least crowded.

Here's how the AP plans are blocked during those days:

______________ Deluxe ______ SoCal ______ SoCal Select
Sun. 12th_______ valid _________ valid________ blocked
Mon. 13th _______ valid ________ valid _________ valid
Tue. 14th _______ valid ________ valid _________ valid
Wed. 15th _______ valid _______ blocked _______ blocked
Thu. 16th _______ valid ________ blocked _______ blocked
Fri. 17th ________ valid ________ blocked _______ blocked
Sat. 18th _______ blocked ______ blocked _______ blocked

I'm especially interested in the beginning of the week since that's when we're most likely to spend three days at the parks. What I'm really wondering is whether Monday and Tuesday will be the least crowded, hence the opening to all the APs, or most busy precisely because of the unblocked APs and the new rides?

If you were hanging at the parks for 3 days that week, which would you choose?

Wednesday and Thursday are usually the least crowded days in the week, also get to the parks early so you can get on Star Tours and TLM without lines. I would suggest getting a fastpass for Star Tours right when you get there, ride the ride a few times depending on the line then go to DCA when it opens and hit TLM and anything else before your Fastpass is valid. Hope this helps!

During peak seasons, Saturdays when Deluxe are blocked out seems to be the least busy, at least in DCA where I work.

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for the speedy replies.

DLRaddict, regarding your wise counsel, I don't think this will likely happen. By myself I would totally do it that way, but I'm with other people whose vacation style is more relaxed than mine and we'll also be staying on the beach somewhat far from the parks. I can get to DCA before it opens, but I doubt we'll get to DL early any of the days we're there. Fortunately, TLM is way more interesting to me than the ST 2.0, and who knows but that we might actually make it early one of the days I'm there.

Well, fortunately, Star Tours has Fastpass, so if you can't get to Disneyland early, you'll still have a chance of riding it without a huge line. Definitely try to get to DCA at opening though.

I hope you do, it's the best way to tackle the crowds I think.

Oh I know how that feels, good luck on the crowds though.

if u want best three days wed thurs friday.... do not go when all passes our open it will be a mad house... most likely the last couple days they can go before they are blocked out for the entire summer... u know everyone will be tring to squeeze in one last trip.

That sounds like good advice. Thanks!
