We just got back from the World yesterday and had an amazing time! The weather was beautiful! Even though it said scattered thundershowers almost every day, it only rained once! So don't let the rain in the forecast scare you.
The crowds were also very low. When we did the evening extra magic hours at MK, we walked on everything! Also did the morning extra magic hours at MK and AK and had almost everything done by noon time! EE was a walk on until about 10am, and even then it was only a 15 min wait.
Just a little heads up..Splash Mountain was down the whole week we were there. Not sure what was wrong, but there wasn't even any water running on it so they must be having some major problems and we never did get to ride it
And because Thunder Mountain is down for the refurb, they aren't hiding the paint brushes on Tom Sawyer's Island. We found this out after we had been looking for one for 30 mins
But we still had a good time looking around on the island!
Also TSM was only a 30 min wait at 1pm and we didn't have a problem getting a fastpass for it. The rest of the park was pretty much empty. I have pictures of us on the streets of America with just us there! What we did was grabbed fastpasses for TSM, then went to the back of the park and worked our way up. Started at the Backlot Tour and there was only 5 other people on it, then we walked right up to meet Mater and Lightning McQueen because there was no one else in line! Walked right on the new Star Tours ride as well, even though it said 20 mins. (great ride by the way!
)
The longest we waited for a ride was maybe 30 mins for Soarin. If anyone has any other questions, i'd be more then happy to answer them
