Will Sundays be more busy around the temple?

No, contrary to what one might naturally assume, Mormon temples are not open on Sunday.  On Sunday Latter-day Saints attend their local congregations in meetinghouses called “chapels.”  Temples are not used for Sunday worship services. People may visit the temple grounds on Sunday for a stroll, but the temple itself does not function that day.

Temples are also closed on Mondays, since this day is reserved for family activities.
