Hi I’m next in WDW for 15 nights which covers Memorial Day weekend in May. I have to select one day to have off the parks as my ticket will cover 14 days. I was thinking to hit a park early on the Friday before MD, then splitting a water park, a day off and an early start in AK between Sat and Mon. Is Memorial Day itself the busiest or will the Saturday or Sunday be busier? Also how busy are the water parks during holiday weekends? Thanks 🙂

I don't think you will see too much of a difference on Memorial Day - in fact 2 of the local annual passes are blocked on holiday weekends - so you will not be fighting with the local holiday people. We have seen this helps with overall crowds.
We were there for Memorial Day weekend in 2024 and you couldn't notice the difference, it definitely wasn't any busier than normal. On the Memorial Day itself in Magic Kingdom, it was actually really quiet. This was when Tron was still on a virtual queue, we entered the park around 5pm and there was still Virtual Queue slots available.
