Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 You know it all really depends. I would say the waits are usually shorter Tues-Thurs at both parks. Mornings usually have shorter waits then afternoons. The SoCal AP holders are un-blocked beginning August 16th and the Deluxe AP holders are un-blocked from Saturdays beginning the 22nd so I bet crowds will be a little heavier that week due to people wanting to get in last minute trips before school starts. Just use the Fastpass system and try to hit the more popular rides in the mornings and you'll be fine.

ITA with PP- take advantage of the mornings (and get FP's when you can!).
