“Your crowd prediction says that the days before the 4th will be light and moderate, everything else I am reading says to expect heavy crowds. What do you think I should expect?

Thank you!”

Moderate to Heavy

Dad's July Crowd Calendar
Hey Lisa,

If you look at the 2019 Crowd Calendar, you’ll see that I predict a moderate day on the 4th of July. I have the 3rd as a heavy day. That week crowds will be moderate to heavy all week.

The 4th of July used to be one of the busiest days of the year. Since the new pricing structure started a few years ago summer crowds have gone down considerably. July 4th is not near as busy as it used to be.

I still expect moderate to maybe heavy crowds on the 4th, but not crazy crowds.
