Attendance Levels This Week

[chascath]

Headed to WDW soon for my 7th trip and for the third time in the past four years next week. For the time period between week after Thanksgiving and prior to Christmas week I have noticed the crowd levels steadily increasing since my first trip in 1988. For that trip we had the parks to ourselves - no lines; no waiting. I have my daily plans written printed and with backup schedules for weather and above average crowd levels.

Can anyone tell me what it has been like since the end of this Thanksgiving weekend?

thanks in advance for any and all replies............

We arrived on November 30th. We checked in and arrived at Epcot at about 12 noon. There was a 60 minute posted wait for Soarin, we got a Fastpass for 1:45-2:45. On the other hand, my husband and mother walked on Mission Space at 1:00.

We went to MK yesterday on parade taping day. Arrived at opening. Main Street was crowded, but once past that we walked on Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Small World, Stitch. There was a 20 minute wait for Pirates. We then were awarded DreamFastpasses so we walked on Pooh, but there was about a 40 minute wait for that. We left at 1:00, came back at 5:00 and only waited 10 minutes for the Goofy Barnstormer. Walked on everything else. Can't speak for the Splash or Thunder, because my family doesn't "do" those rides.

We'll be back in two years when the kids( aged 10) find employment and help us pay for this trip. We'll pick this time of year. I don't think you can beat it.
