Hey everyone! I just love seeing those pictures people take when they stay late and NO ONE is in the park. For example: If you stay at MK late, you have Main Street all to yourself. I have never done this, but I love seeing pictures of people who have. Please share! Thanks!

Any tips on how to post a picture? I have a great picture of the castle with nobody in the picture but my dauger.

Check the Technical Board. They have great info on that subject.

This was the day of TS Ernesto. DD was off school, so I took off work and we headed to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon!

This was just before the 3pm parade... you KNOW what it normally looks like!

How about the Monday Hurricane Wilma blew thru last year. Parks were closed in the AM but then opened around 1 pm. DD and I were on one of the first busses to the MK- it was amazing! :cool1:

How about an empty Fantasy land as seen from Dumbo...

Thanks! That day was particulary fun for us - TS Ernesto (8/30/06) wound up not being as bad as anticipated her in Central FL, the schools were closed, and DD was driving me crazy, and since I work at home, I took the afternoon off and we went on the adventure to MK. It was very quiet - and did not rain at all until around 5pm. We just put on the ponchos, and carried on. She rode BTMRR about 11 times - only having to get off 3 times in all those rides. We left the park about 7:30 when a storm with lightning was ready to pass over! It is one of the days that I will remember for quite some time -spur of the moment, unanticipated day!

Not sure but it looks like that pic was taken at the end of a MNSSHP night- that's how Main Street is lit during the party.

Here are a few of mine from September:

Not totally empty, but pretty low crowds:

I wish I could find the link and pictures but I can't find it no matter what keywords I use for searching, but someone developed some software that processes pictures taken from the same place and based on the differences between the pictures, the software can tell what parts are part of the scenery and what parts are just people. So using those differences, it creates a picture of that area without people.

My first thought after reading that was how cool it would be to do that with Disney World.

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a little piece of WDW as your very own? Well, we did. Last May, as we entered EPCOT through the International Gateway we found that Great Britain was ours alone.

It began with no one at the gateway. Even the Friendship was deserted.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080077.jpg

Across the "channel" France was without a Parisian strolling the boulevard.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080079.jpg

While in Great Britain, the Queen (DW, with an ailing knee) toured her kingdom.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080080.jpg

Not a soul was stirring in this quaint English village.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080083.jpg

Not even a bird was chirping on this beautiful residential street.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080131.jpg

And a sight never to be repeated, an English pub at mid-morning without a patron to be had.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g123/DAV_03/WDW%20Intl%20Gateway/P5080086.jpg

Alas, 'twas a fantasy after all. For then . . . the outlanders began to arrive!

Hats off to Disney and the CM's who worked overtime taking care of everyone's pets. They finally got so overwhelmed that Disney gave the greenlight to most of the resorts to let evacuees/guests keep their pets in their room until the storm passed. pirate:

Disney should be ashamed...... So what would you have done different with another hurricane on your doorstep after having one come through already?(Charlie) Besides guests pets, where do you put all the evacuees pets? My family evacuated from the coast. Local shelters were full. Disney should be commended not bashed. CM's left their families and worked OT staying in the resorts and kennels playing,exercising and feeding the animals and keeping people posted. We were allowed there anytime prior to being locked down at the resorts. Things were handled quite well.

Sorry to get off topic. Lets see some more pictures pirate:

Haha, good idea. Same with us on Expedition Everest. We run to the ride, and DM lags behind and gets the Fastpasses, so by the time we get off the ride, she has the Fastpasses and we are ready to ride again in the next hour.

Everyone was watching Fantasmic but we had already seen it. We had a whole boat for The Great Movie Ride to ourselves. And thanks to words of wisdom here, the CM's granted our request of pointing out hidden mickeys with their flashlights. They even personalized the script during the shoot out scene.

BrookeI went in Sept 2005. I'll have to wait until I get home this evening to post pictures. Mine have crowds in them but I took most of mine in the middle of the afternoon. I wish I had more pictures from the morning after Charley. I have never seen the TTC EMPTY before...one booth open and no line. There wasn't even a line to enter the park and not one line on any ride all morning long. I was too excited to jump from ride to ride to take pictures.

All these pictures showing the park for early morning ADR's are making me anxious! I have to wait until April to make mine!

Wow, quite a contrast to what I saw while we were there for Christmas. They were herding people into that building; up the far right side, around to the down escalator over to Soarin', back up the up escalator and out the far left side of the building. They had the walk way roped off so that was the only way to get around in the building. There were so many people in there that the line for Living with the Land ride was backed up to the point they were blocking the escalator so that people could not get off. They had to keep a CM there to make sure people kept moving away from the escalator.

By the way, are you from Oklahoma or just a Sooner fan?

It is just a dark pavement and looks darker wet and a gloomy day. We went to AK at opening and stayed until about 2ish. We were able to ride EE several times and do just everything we wanted to do with no wait and no crowds. When the heavy rain hit later in the evening I was at Epcot and was walking through plenty of flowing water as we were leaving for the night. There were little streams everywhere.

It is just a dark pavement and looks darker wet and a gloomy day. We went to AK at opening and stayed until about 2ish. We were able to ride EE several times and do just everything we wanted to do with no wait and no crowds. When the heavy rain hit later in the evening I was at Epcot and was walking through plenty of flowing water as we were leaving for the night. There were little streams everywhere.

I love to be in the parks on rainey days...no crowds no lines...I can ride my favs as much as I want and no one fussing about waiting lol....course going solo will prevent that too...and I do at time go that way....this year is spoil a princess trip lol:banana:

Just some more. I have a ton of pictures that are of "empty areas" across the parks. I didn't realize how many! :rotfl:

I'll put it in link form, because the picture is huge. Here are my kids at MGM in March of '06. Yes, they were freezing. :laughing:

Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but does any one know where the other end of the skyway resides? This picture is the FantasyLand end of it. I know that it ended in Tomorrowland, but where? Are any of the structures still in place? :confused3 :confused3
