Best days crowd wise for HHN - With or without Express

[georgemoe]

Looking for suggestions on my upcoming Orlando trip. Unlike previous years where I did four nights in a row the 2nd week of the event, I'm only planning to do two nights this year.

What is given is we will have ROF and a one day / all parks pass that will allow us to do Stay N' Scream for one night. The other night we will probably add express since we will be waiting outside for opening and won't get a jump on the houses like with Stay N Scream.

Which night would you do with SnS but no Express? Thu / Fri / Sat / Sun? Which night with just Express?

My thoughts are Thursday - SnS no Express, and Sunday no SnS with Express. Does that make sense crowd wise? I know it gets harder to determine this with the increased crowds as of late. I know the last two years it's been nuts.

Thanks for the input.

I know everyone says that Saturday's are the most crowded night. We tend to go the 2nd week and I swear that SAT feels the slowest of the Thurs - Sun that we tend to do.

I think it starts off busy due to the passholder event they tend to have, but it dies down early as many of those folks get through three houses before the park opens.

It is my believe that with FF not including SAT and SAT tending to have a higher price point causes that 2nd Saturday to be slower than the rest of the 2nd week. That is at least how I've felt from the past three years...I can't comment on how that changes as you get into October though.
