AK on DVC/AP EE Days

[3from3]

We are planning to be at AK on Jan 27. Should we anticipate large crowds because Expedition Everest will be open to DVC and AP holders? Just want to be prepared. Thanks for the help.

Traditionally low crowds this time of year.

But with EE in preview we might GUESS from the following:

A. No visible difference in the crowds at AK, except for long lines at EE.

B. Maybe TWICE as many guests as usual for late January at AK.
(Who knows what that would LOOK like?)

C. So MANY guests that AK must be closed to non-property guests as sometimes happens to MK on major holidays.

Since nobody KNOWS in advance (even WDW doesn't know how many non-property guests might show up), I'll guess somewhere between "A" and "B".

I'll be there, so I'll find out if I'm right.

Its hard to judge from the response HERE,
because most ANYONE who posts on this board would say they would WANT to be there,
and might even make a special effort to GO,
and would be inclined to HAVE an AP or DVC membership.

This board is a tad bit biased TOWARD Disney, and that is as it should be.

Thanks for the input. What about the other parks - do you think most APs will just go to AK or visit other parks while they are there? We are staying at a resort and have all of our ADRs so I think we are in pretty good shape no matter what happens. I think we will probably go straight to the Safari and Kali River and then see how bad the crowd is. Worse case, we go back to MK.

Yes, I think they will go to other parks too, which will thin down the number at AK at any given moment.

So, that is "MY PREDICTION".

It is worth exactly what you paid for it.

(See you in line at EE next weekend!)
