ETA: I'll be including crowd pictures in my TR, which is live. You can follow the TR by clicking on the link in my signature. I'll post pictures of Epcot crowds there. Thanks! I figured since the mods moved this thread to the TR board anyways, I'd just direct everyone to my TR.

We arrived yesterday (May 4) and are staying until the 16th. This morning, we were at the MK, and I took some crowd pictures for my fellow obsessive DISers since I know the subject of May crowds has been met with great interest this year (keep in mind we were there for rope drop and left for a break around 2 PM):
The TTC around 8:30:
Bag check:
Entering right at 9 AM:
Walking down Main Street USA (it was not this crowded, just the congestion of people filing in):
From the train station overlooking the entrance plaza around 10 AM:
Fantasyland by Peter Pan around 10:45:
Main Street as we were leaving around 2 PM:
Same time, just looking toward the castle:
Oh, and regarding ride wait times. We did the following:
Carousel
Snow White
Winnie the Pooh
it's a small world
Tea Cups
Barnstormer
the Railroad
Splash
Haunted Mansion
PhilHarmagic
Pirates
Everything was under 15 minutes. Our longest wait was for Winnie the Pooh, actually, at around 8 minutes. Big Thunder was 20 minutes around 10:30, and Peter Pan was 15 minutes around 9:15 and then got longer as is typical, up to 35 just before we left. We used FP just to pick up FPs to use on Big Thunder when we go back tonight.
Hope this helps!

Of course any weather is nicer thatn the weather here at my desk at work 
so the rides were closed for a long time, then when they finally opened Space Mountain the "posted" wait time was 45 minutes until someone lost their glasses on the ride and they closed it down again! We almost jumped ship but I am soooooooooo glad we stuck it out in line until it reopened! Especially since Space Mountain is closed at WDW this year! My kids all loved it, even my 3 year old. Anyway, the point is we have fun at Disney even with 10 crowds. It is just funner when there is not so many people!
