Anyone just back? How are the crowds?

[Cindy B]

We are leaving very soon... and was wondering how the crowds are.

The Southern schools are in session, and colleges have started (for the most part), so how is it?


We are defineltely planning to use EE and Fast pass.. I don't mind waiting up to 30-40 minutes in line and are planning to use single riders as well.

Got back today and Sunday at Animal Kingdom was not crowded (it did rain all day), Monday at MK was not crowded until 11:30 (Fantasyland was not crowded at all in the morning), Epcot on Tuesday...no one was there, Thursday at MGM was crowded. Overall not too bad.

early in the month it was pretty crowded but since the southern schools have gone back it gets less crowded every day here. once the schools up north go back i think it will be great as far as crowds go.

We just got back from 2 weeks at WDW.
First Week was extremely crowded... we were told that resorts were at 95% capacity.. parks were mobbed,
then second week was not as crowded and was more typical summer. If you use fast pass, you can do anything you want to do

We just got back today. It is nice to be at MK early in the morn up until 11am that's when it gets busy. It was crowded everyday at MK. Epcot is not busy in any day we went.

If you plan to use EMH and you plan your FastPasses right, you will do just fine, no matter how crowded it is. We just came back and it was pretty crowded, but we beat it with EMH and FastPass.

I was there from Aug 4-12. Parks were packed. Parks that had EE were worse. Use fastpass wisely or single rider lines if possible. E-night on the 8th was a bust. It was packed. Waited about 20 minutes to ride space mountain. Any other e-night I've gone to in the past allowed for less than 5 minute waits. Seems like there were way more than 5000 people in the park that night. Only managed Buzz once, Space Mountain twice, BTMR once, and the TTA.

i moved down in the end of july and called wtc and was told they only had 4 hotels not filled to capacity that night. so i guess it was crowded, i didn't have time to go to the parks that day
