We've spent last evening and this morning in MK and haven't found the crowds at all difficult to manage...
Last night we got into the park about 6pm and managed to ride Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Small World, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, eat dinner and watch the 9pm parade all by 10:45. Used FP for JC and PP, the rest had minimal waits (walk on to 15 min). We were leaving as the 11pm parade started and people were only about 2-3 deep off the curb in the Hub!!
This morning we walked into the park 15 min after rope drop, got in line for Tangled and send dh for FP....Between 9:15 and 1pm we managed to ride Tea Cups (dh and dd while I held our place in line for Tangled), Thunder and Splash Mountains (both FP), Pooh (10 min), Buzz (FP), and Pirates (walk on), meet Rapunzel/Flynn, Alice/White Rabbit, and Tiana/Naveen, as well as fit in a little shopping! Crowds didn't start to pick up until about 12:30 or so when we were heading out....hopefully this evening will be like last night (we already have 2 FP's (TM and SpaceM) ready to go that we picked up earlier).
I was really worried about the crowds after reports from last week...but so far by getting there at RD and are smart about picking up FP and using in-between times to meet characters/eat/etc. it's working really well. Can't speak for afternoon crowds.....and don't plan on finding out!
