Saturday or Sunday? Crowds...

I'll be in town next weekend and we're taking two kids with us. I want their first experience of the best festival to be without hoards of people blocking the decorations. Which day do you think would be less crowded... Saturday or Sunday?
Or would Friday be best?

We will be there next weekend also and the weather forecast is for mid 50's to 60's. I would bet that Saturday will be packed solid. That is the only day we have but if I had the option for Sunday I would take it.

it was crowded yesterday, the 6th, but we still managed to do a lot. went after park opening to Dickens and only had a 20 minute wait before getting into the theatre. then went and rode Outlaw Run with maybe a 5 minute wait (though that did get more crowded after a while). One disturbing thing i did see is that they are offering a Trail Blazer pass with unlimited rides for $60. Hopefully they won't offer too many of those.

Sorry we missed you, Duelist. It was still nice to talk to you, however briefly, on the phone.

Yes it was good to talk to you too, History Buff. Maybe we can arrange a meet-up next year. Pretty sure we'll be back

I think it's decided we're going Friday. Let's hope it's not crowded! *fingers crossed*

We ended up going Friday and Sunday. Friday wasn't too bad, but Sunday was packed. We only went back for a couple hours to do the stuff we missed Friday. We still didn't get to do it all because of the crowds.

We left right before 7 and the bakery person told us 20,000 then the package pickup guy said 19,500. The trams were still full coming in at that time so, 24,000 for the day is not out of line.
