Just realized I'll be in the park for Free Entry Weekend!!

"In 2010, entrance fees will be waived on...August 14-15"
That's from the NPS website, and we'll be there Aug. 13-15! Does this affect the crowd level in a really bad way, or is it about as manageable as other summer weekends?
More specifically, we want to get first-come first-served backpacking permits for 3 for Sunrise Lakes>Cloud's Rest>Yosemite Valley. I know that one is popular. Please let me know if I am making some huge planning mistakes, this will be my first visit ever!
