California trip - what days to visit parks?

[BrandonR]

My first vacation to California (LA specifically) is this weekend and I basically have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to visit SFMM, Universal Studios, and KBF. Any suggestions on which park to visit on which day to avoid the crowds? So far I'm thinking SFMM on one of the weekdays since it has the most coasters and I'd like to minimize the lines. Maybe Universal on Sunday since it doesn't seem to have many attractions and if I have to wait in lines there won't be many?

 

Any other tips/suggestions for a first-time visit to California would also be welcome.

So is the consensus Universal Studios on Sunday and KBF/SFMM on Monday/Tuesday? Or is this a bad idea for some reason?

Its of course better to do the parks with many coasters and rides on a weekday - however Knotts could nevertheless be quite full as they drop kids by the busload there.

 

No Disney while you're in LA?

Obviously the weekdays will be less crowded no matter where you go. If I were to choose which park to go on Sunday, I would say Knotts only because you can knock out more rides faster at that park then the other two. And you'll have to hope that the day you go to Universal they will have Transformers open.
