This was the one and only time I saw a queuing area get out of hand. All in one area were strollers and queues for 2 different attractions (carousel and Philharmagic), as well as thru-traffic. As I say, it's probably one of the busiest times of the year and day...so as long as you know what to expect if you go on one of these days you shouldn't be dissapointed by the crowds. If you plan and get FPs for the stuff you really want to do, I don't think you'd have any problems...we got an FP for Philharmagic that morning, and we got in to the first showing we turned up for.

Disney did end up closing admittance to the Parks, and the CMs operating the transport were warning boarders that they may not get in by the time they got to the park. They also seemed to be putting on a lot more shows, and have a lot more characters out, in order to perhaps draw people away from the big name attractions.

I had expected this kind of crowd level, so was not too phased by it all. IMHO, what really could help lessen the bottlenecks is for parents to have a good think about whether or not their kids really need a stroller...as far as I could see, they appeared to be more of a nuisance to the parents than anything else, especially in those crowd levels.

But that's a whole other discussion.;)
