Brits guide 2003 question

[alexandra uk]

Does anyone know if the chart in the back, which tells you the best days to go, is still correct now that they've brought EE back ?
I'm not sure if the book was published before then

Check Simon's updates on the first thread - this gives the updated busy days for all the parks.

Thanks Tony! Yes, that's absolutely right. The switch to the new Extra Magic Hour system beat our deadline by a few weeks (annoyingly), so all the latest details are now on:

Thanks Simon
Would this affect what days the non Disney parks were busiest ?

Also have you worked out yet, what days parks are moderately busy, or will we have to wait for The Brits guide 2004
I'm hoping to get it to take with me in November. I found that chart in the back, really handy when I was making last years itinery.

Alexandra, the Disney early entry system shouldn't affect the other parks at all. I am still compiling notes on what the traffic patterns look like since the re-introduction of early entry, and elsewhere, and the picture is horribly vague just now. This currently is my best guess-timate at the likely scenario for the 7 main Orlando parks:

Mon: Busy - AK, MK; Less Busy - Epcot, USF; Least busy - IoA, SW, MGM.
Tue: Busy - MGM, USF; Less Busy - Epcot, MK; Least busy - IoA, SW, AK
Wed: Busy - Epcot, AK; Less Busy - IoA, SW; Least Busy - MK, MGM, USF.
Thur: Busy - MK, USF; Less Busy - IoA, SW, MGM; Least Busy - Epcot.
Fri: Busy - AK, Epcot, IoA; Less Busy - USF, SW, MGM; Least Busy - MK.
Sat: Busy - MGM, MK, USF, IoA, SW; Less Busy - Epcot; Least Busy - AK.
Sun: Busy - MK, IoA, SW; Less Busy - AK, Epcot, USF; Least Busy - MGM.

The usual rule about arriving as early as possible still applies (even more so these days, when you can have 2 really quiet hours in many cases), but I reserve the right to change my mind at any time!

In all seriousness, any feedback on this subject is always welcome, especially from Disney veterans who know a Busy day from a Not-so-Busy day! This remains a work in progress, and other factors (War in Iraq being the main one) will almost certainly have a bearing on business this year. So stay tuned, and don't forget to post your own reports here!

Simon.
