So my partner and I are planning a Southern California trip over our Spring Break (March 12th-20th). We will be in LA Saturday the 12th through Monday the 14th before traveling to San Diego. We're midwest based so I know my around seasonal parks... but I'm feeling a little lost with crowds and ops at the year round parks. We want to hit MM and Knott's.
We'll give a full day to each park, but we have the option of going in any combination Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I assume Sunday and Monday are best for crowds, but what about staffing? I realize missing credits is likely on any day, but is it more likely for a major ride to be down on a weekday due to staffing issues or because crowds are lighter? We're willing to do flash pass on a busy day, especially if it means we're less likely to encounter down coasters and the resulting longing stares :p.
