But, is the week of the 4th crazy busy, or just the day of the 4th? Do you think it will be really busy the week pirates opens back up? Pirates is one of our favorite rides. Will it be mobbed those first few days? We went to DL the first week of August last year and had a great time. We really want to go back this summer to have one more "dose" of the 50th celebration. Thanks for your input!

As for Pirates, the line will be long every day, all summer long as Disney promotes the re-opening of the attraction. I would check the wait on Monday the 26th though, that might be longer than normal due to it being the first day back.
