crowd during Christmas week - express pass - long wait?

[fac]

Wonder what the crowd will be like in the next several days. Will it help to have an express pass? or will many people already have express pass therefore express pass will still mean long wait?
TIA

EP lines are much longer than usual at this time.......but it’ll still be less than the regular lines.....

It’ll be extremely busy!

It was manageable until yesterday. Waits weren’t bad at all! Crowds seem to have ballooned today though!

Yeah, checking the app now almost everything is over 100 minutes. Yesterday was fine, then much busier in the afternoon it looked when I checked yesterday. A few over 100 minute waits. However, nothing like today from what I see right now. Out of curiosity I'll probably be checking at the wait times in the later afternoon / evening to see what it's like.

Crowds were crazy before we left, they really had to control people going through Hogsmeade.

Holiday season means crowds everywhere though. Even MCO security was long today! Lol!

We were there last year over New Years and found the express lines longer than we had ever seen but still totally manageable except for Gringotts. I don't think we waited more than 20 maybe 30 for anything except Gringotts.
