How much busier would Disney be on a Saturday vs. Friday

LMHCnewlywed

I am trying to plan time when I have company here and wondered if this time of year would make that much difference.

Thanks for any feedback!

Here's an idea of what the park attendance will be like (pulled from a website that I use).  1 is low, 10 is high.  AK is Animal Kingdom, DS is Hollywood Studios, MK is Magic Kingdom and EP is Epcot.

Depends on what park you are planning on going to.

Magic Kingdom has its highest attendance on Saturday due to local traffic and extra magic hours.

Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic Hours on Sundays evenings not Saturday.  This time of year is a slower time at all the parks.
