A little foggy but cleared out by 7ish then was gorgeous the rest of the day!
That's really neat! The People Mover ride is always better with friends!
Yeah, can't believe it was so crowded! It was the middle of the week!We had a blast. Got to MK about 6.30am - rode mostly everything we wanted - got pics with Mickey and Minnie in PJ's - took a break for a late breakfast at Ohana (awesome!) - then back to MK. Crowds were not too bad until mid-afternoon then it got increasingly crazy until about 10pm.
Minor disappointments - lack of commemorative merchandise (only the T-shirts which were not that impressive) and Sorcerors game was a nightmare - played in spurts during the day but eventually gave up - it took away some of the fun seeing everyone elses game played out in front of you for 15/20 mins at each station while you waited in line - by the time you had your turn, the surprise element was gone.
We eventually left around midnight, but had a great day - most people seemed to be in high spirits even though lines were long and in the evening, just walking from place to place could be a challenge. There were definite rumors flying around that Disney had seriously underestimated the expected crowd level, but if so, they did a pretty good job of coping.
Didn't do it this year?If they do this again in 2016 we are going to do the WDW/DLR same-day trip.
According to WDW Lines at 11:45pm EST, Space Mt is currently 48 min wait, everything else under 25. At DL, It's around 8:45pm PST, Space Mt 58 min, Star Tours 48 min, Indiana Jones 45 min, PP 30 min, all else under 25.
Yeah; I saw Len Testa near Space Mountain at around 9:30pm.He appeared to be doing something with Touring Plans' "Lines" app, but I didn't want to crowd him and look over his shoulder. If he hadn't seemed so busy, I would have tried to meet him.Touring Plans had predicted a 2.4 day, with the comment that they did not expect the OMDD to have a substantial effect on the crowds.
By the end of the day, their number had been revised to a 10!
