Parks empty yesterday! - The DIS Discussion Forums

appycat · 09-14-2012, 11:00 AM

We took our girls to dhs and epcot yesterday and both parks were empty! TSM had 10 min wait at 10:15, got into early jedi training show and nemo had 0 min wait! Will travel again this time next year.

Dont tell people that :-)

IT IS A HORRIBLE TIME TO GO. NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO DURING THIS TIME.

you're absolutely right....you know, in retrospect, it was actually pretty crowded.....

disprincessatheart · 09-14-2012, 02:33 PM

Yup, we've been in the world since Saturday, leaving tomorrow.

my husband and I have agreed we should never come back this week again - way too crowded

We normally come later in September, never again! Yesterday soarin was a WALK ON at 10 am. They actually left the back row empty - there weren't any guests to put in the seats

Just got back and had the same experience. Oops! I mean it's a horrible time to way too crowded!

I have to rethink our next trip becasue I said this was the last time I would take DD's out of school to go to WDW but, wow after the amazing week I might have to go back on my word.

Hmm... I really need to stop being lazy and go buy my AP.

That will all end 10 days from now when the Food & Wine Festival begins!

Cherinva · 09-19-2012, 01:05 PM

We were there during this week also.....the only Fastpass we had to get was for Toy Story Mania....everything else was a walk on......the only times we waited at all was for character greetings.....we even went to 50s Prime Time at lunch (without an ADR) and got seated right away.

jodiey · 09-19-2012, 01:14 PM

I hope it's that crowded when I go next week!

FlyingBelle · 09-19-2012, 01:17 PM

We'll be there Friday - I'm counting on low crowds after the summer in Disneyland! I didn't realize people would actually wait 240 minutes for a ride!!!

This is the best time to be in the World! We walked on Soarin at 3 in the afternoon! It was awesome. Most people aren't willing to take their kids out of school so early in the year so it works out.

Hopefully until Friday!

How's the weather been there? Did you get the typical quick afternoon rain or has there been a more steady rain going on?

That's a good one!!!

On our way home now - wow MK was crowded yesterday! Not summer/holiday break crowded, but much more so than I expected! Or maybe it just seemed so. It was almost hard to walk through Fantasyland, with so many strollers parked outside IASW. Love what we can see of the expansion! DD had fun looking for horse hoof prints in the sidewalk. Great trip, and oh so tired!
