We are planning a trip in August. I am debating between the second and third weeks. We are from Arizona so the heat doesn’t bother us. I have tried to do extensive research and have seen different opinions. I am hoping to get a tie breaker vote here. I see that the pass holders are back in the third week in August. But so are the schools for a lot of the California districts. Do the pass holders really outweigh all the kids out of school? Many different websites that predict crowds say that the third and fourth weeks of August are less busy but others say that the pass holders can throw the predictions off. Most of the rides from past years close down starting the 4th week of August. Most if not all are still going the third week. Also, in past years they start shortening the park hours in the 4th week of August. We will only be attending during the weekdays to help avoid crowds. It is probably just a toss up. I bet with max pass it will be amazing regardless. Thanks for the help
