Why Midweek = Maximum Value

  • Lower nightly rates: Sundays through Thursdays are typically priced below Friday/Saturday.
  • Fewer crowds: Shorter slide lines and easier dining—more fun per hour.
  • Better room selection: Higher chance of landing your ideal suite layout.
  • Targeted promos: Resorts often run weekday-only specials—watch the deals page for these.

Weekday vs. Weekend: Sample Price Snapshot

Actual prices vary by lodge and date, but the pattern is consistent: weekdays are friendlier on the wallet. Here’s a simplified example for a standard family suite (2 nights):

Stay Pattern Room Rate (2 Nights) Typical Savings
Tue–Thu (Midweek) $360–$480 Save 20–40% vs. weekend

Best Days to Target (Ranked)

  1. Tuesday/Wednesday: Consistently the quietest and often cheapest.
  2. Monday/Thursday: Still solid discounts; great for 1–2 night mini breaks.
  3. Sunday night: A hidden gem—weekend crowds leave, prices drop.
