Going this weekend...how's the crowds been?

catfish1999 · 03-15-2006

We're going back for the weekend and hoping it's not too badly infested with spring breakers.

Any ideas from you CMs and locals out there?

Lefty · 03-15-2006

I was there a week ago and the crowds were pretty normal--maybe even a little sparse. Wait times at the parks were shorter than usual, and you shouldn't have a problem with congestion.

Well I have been a little stuffy lately but Sudafed works great...oh you mean crowd congestion..

Thanks!

I was there last week too and like Lefty said it wasn't too bad. But I'm trying to get a hotel room for one night for next week and Disney is practically booked solid - no values, no moderates, deluxes at $400 a nite and up. (or so I was told) So I guess it's going to get a lot more crowded pretty fast.

Baloo wants a hand in it too, so I'm waiting for him. (I also need time to destroy all his embarrassing pictures of me before he gets a chance to post them.)

Spring Break has sprung!!!! I was helping out Beast at Epcot today, and DANG!!!! Be careful when you get here. There's a LOT of people on property, but also don't let it spoil your fun understand?!

Erin · 03-16-2006

Man........I was hoping the crowds wouldn't come.

gingita · 03-16-2006

I agree with Rowdy...the crowds have definitely arrived! You know spring break is here when the treehouse has a wait. Last time I checked the guest count at the treehouse (we have to do it manually), it was over 10,000 guests before 6pm...and this is at the treehouse. That's just crazy.

Never do Rowdy

We are here this week, and I have never seen it this crowded. I have talked to several CMs, and they have all told me it is the busiest Spring they have seen in over 8 years. Everything at AK on Tuesday was over 90 minutes, and Everest has been over 2 hours every time I have seen it. We were at Blizzard Beach yesterday, and it was great, no one was there, but it was on the cool side, never got above about 73 degrees, so it may have kept people away. Last night in the MK everything was over 90 minutes as well. We have been using the fast passes a lot, and spending a lot of time at the pool. If you are coming in the next couple of weeks, expect large crowds. Get to the parks early and load up on fast passes.

Lefty · 03-16-2006

That's crazy. My school (FSU) had Spring Break last week. I guess the majority of colleges are this week.

queensmama · 03-16-2006

I know sad for all everyone who gets stuck in crowds, but Yeah!!!! for Disney!

MommytoMJM · 03-16-2006

We're into Spring Break now... MK is open till 11 or midnight many nights, MGM is staying open till 9 many nights. It was very crowded last Sunday and Monday

Mickey-Canada · 03-16-2006
