Can we expect the crowds to drop off and maybe be tolerable? Another possibility would be to go to DL on Wednesday or Thursday, July 12 or 13. Could we expect the crowds to be any lighter then? Or is summer at DL just summer at DL? That is, CROWDED! Thanks!

I personally like crowds. You get to go on fewer rides, but everything is open and the parks is open late, which means more time to relax and take it all in rather than speeding around the park from ride to ride trying to cram it all in. I wouldn't go any other time I don't think. There's something gratifing about waiting an hour for splash. It's so much more fun to basically walking on!
