We went to WDW the first week of June of 2002 for 7 days. We spent about 4 hours in Animal Kingdom until we got rained on at 1:30 (downpour!!) We did Kilamanjaro Safaris (30 min wait), we did some pin trading, some souvineer buying, then rode Kali River Rapids 2 times, and Dinosaur 2 times. Then we played in the DinoLand play area (boneyard, slides, etc.) and planned on going to Chester and Hesters new area, but the rain came in. We went back to Old Key West and changed from the rain, and ate lunch at the Port Orleans Food Court. Then we headed to EPCot where we had the parks to ourselves!! (The rain earlier in the day had scared everyone off, I guess!)

It was HOT! We were told MANY times that week that the hot season came early. Sound like it doesn't usually get that hot until July. (Of course we are from Texas, so we can stand a little heat!!)

The crowds were not as bad as I have seen before. Some of the rides in the Magic Kingdom had waits that surprised me of 90 minutes for Peter Pan at times. Most of the time, though, we didn't wait more than 20 minutes. I think you are going at the very early stages of summer vacation, so you won't be seeing the HUGE crowds like they do in late June, and July. We are going the last week of May since our schools get out on May 23rd this year!! I sure wish I'd have bought a season pass last year....could have had free admission this time....:cry:
