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.

Originally Posted By LuLu 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.
