2/13 - 2/18 Attendance Report

[Bichon Barb]

Just thought I'd give you a quick attendance report for the days prior to Presidents' Day to the day after Presidents' Day:

Thursday before PD, 2/13 - Epcot - Got there 20 minutes early. Hardly anyone in front of us at the gate. Went in and jumped right on Test Track. We could have sat in the same car and rode it again! I can't think of one ride off the top of my head that we had to wait for. Oh, later in the day, DH and DS rode TT again. They had to wait 5 or 10 mins. We had PS to GG. I'm sure we didn't need it. Crowd Level A+

Friday before PD, 2/14 - MK - By the time we parked and rode the ferry, we probably got in about 9:30 a.m. 10 minute wait for Pooh, walked right in HM, grabbed FP for BTMRR, walked right in PoC, FP'ed SM, 10 minutes Barnstormer, walked right on People Mover (?). Crowd Level A

Sunday before PD, 2/16 - AK - Again, got in around 9:30. AK is a funny park in that it looks extremely crowded, but no lines for Tough to be a Bug, 10 mins for Kilimanjaro, 10 mns for Kali River, got to Festival of Lion King 15 mins early, etc. Why they didn't make the walkways bigger, I don't know. Crowd Level B-

Tuesday after PD, 2/18 - MGM - Late again. Most rides were about 15 min wait early in the day. We had to FP Star Tours (35 min standby) and ToT (45 min standby). RnR had a 65 min. standby. Crowd Level C

Those first two days before the holiday weekend were excellent! I would assume that things should be slowing down again now that the holiday week is just about over. Weather was great. Cool in the morning with a high in the low 70's. Great park touring weather.

We definitely would take the kids out of school a few days before their vacation and do this again.

Hey Bichon Barb, we were there almost the same time except we left on Monday. I too found it wasn't as crowded as I expected.

We're always so spoiled and go during off peak times but this trip my db and family went so we met them there. They didn't want to take my dn out of school for more than a day or 2 and that's why they decided to go this time of the year.

I expected it to be more crowded although Friday night there wasn't a last minute PS anywhere to be found at EPCOT. I already had 2 in MK and at GF but we just couldn't make it there. But, it was also Valentine's Day too. Otherwise it was pretty bearable

We were also in MK Friday morning for CRT's breakfast at 8:30 so we were done by 9:30 and we got to go right in to see Minnie and Mickey without waiting more than a few minutes which was nice.
