We are here. Did MK today - definitely the most crowded I've ever seen it! If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will!
I'm going this upcoming Tuesday to a epcot!? I'm really worried about crowds
You couldn't pay me to be at WDW this week ... Well, I might have a price ;-)
Anyway, I could never understand why people pay all that money for a vacation then won't just take the kids out of school for a week so they can enjoy it.

The CMs were AMAZING! The FP lines stretched for yards and yards but moved super-fast. CMs are everywhere and working hard to keep everybody happy and moving.

She said thank you but we never really talked about it. I hope they are doing ok. She was excited but definitely did the "oh... you're one of those crazy people" thank you's when I gave her that envelope. Maybe they read it and are doing alright. Their initial plan (a large family group) was to just sort of go, stay off site and wing it. "there's a few different parks now, right?"

Believe it or not, WDW is the cheapest vacation for us. We have DVC so room is "free", Disney Visa had about $500 in rewards money, and we drove down. The week here will be less than $2000. Couldn't go anywhere else that cheap for a family of 4. Also just planned this 3 weeks ago! Better than sitting home all week!

We are going the week before Easter 2014. (High School daughter will not miss school - her choice ).
Everyone talks about hitting rope drop & doing late nights - but how do you possibly do both? Does anyone sleep? I guess my plan will be to mix it up a little with the schedule ....some rope drops & some late nights??
We have 2 teenagers - one is good with mornings and one is good with nights - ugh - should be interesting!
So, if you do a park from rope drop until lunch time .....and then nap or hit the pool in the afternoon. What time does it start clearing out so that you would want to return? And what about bad weather days? Can't do the pool ....what else is there to do when it is this crowded?
I can see from my rambling that my nervousness is building already!
