It's hard to predict really. But regardless of when you go there are always crowds, so just expect that then you won't be disappointed if it is really busy.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss For the months of June, July, and August, Saturday is the blacked out for Deluxe, SoCal, and SoCal Select AP's. Sundays are blocked for Select AP holders. Many or all weekdays are blacked out too for SoCal and SoCal Select AP's.
Originally Posted By oredisneyfan I have gone in both June and August. August was not as busy as June. June also had Grad nights where the park closed early so you should look at those dates in June. We went June 15-21 and there was a grad night in that time period. Just a note though our june trip conincided with the opening day of TSMM so that may be why it was so busy since I do not have an AP I planned my last two trips during blocked days for So Cal and Delux Ap's and the crowds did seem to be less hectic. Granted as already stated there are always crowds at DL.......have fun
