Are crowd levels greater this year than in recent years?

With the weaker dollar at the moment, is it possible that more Americans are staying at home and going to places like Disney, than in recent years. We in the UK are benefitting from a favourable exchange rate with the US at the moment. So it's quite possible there will be even more British visitors this summer. (is that even possible!!!)
I know attendance figures have steadily decreased since 9/11, but is the current economic climate finally increasing attendance?
Any thoughts...

It seems like the the posts over the last few months from recent visitors say its busier than past years.

The hours for our trip in the first week of May have changed from MK closing at 7 to closing at 9.

this tells me something.
