Crowded, cold and rainy at MK today..

[bcbmommy]

Wow. I was shocked with the crowds. This is busier than the 2 times I've been in March. We came back to the BC for a while, hoping the rain will stop. I'm wondering if we should head to DTD tonight if the rain doesn't stop. At least we could watch a movie, or bowl, or something INSIDE.
We've all had a good attitude about it, but I must admit that I'm bummed we're missing our day at MK.

Yep, we just left, too. Much more crowded than our past January trips and our FP are all used up, so not wasting any more time there today. Headed to DTD for early dinner and then to Epcot for EMH.

DTD will be a zoo tonight.... just forewarning you.

At least the weather is supposed to improve tomorrow... though today shouldn't have been this bad either.

If you go see a movie I recommend Dine-In and prebook it online now so you can pick your seats.

We went yesterday to a 12:45 show (usually completely empty) and we got there 30 minutes early and had trouble getting a decent seat.

It is a Friday night... so it will be even busier.

 

[bcbmommy]

Oh boy...I didn't think about the fact that its Friday. Hmmm. Well, do you think MK will slow down a bit around 5ish? Hopefully people will go to Epcot for EMH. Maybe we should head back there around then.

I looked at the wait times around 1:00 p.m. and they were nuts for this time of year.

 

[bcbmommy]

There are lots of cheer/dance groups, so that adds to the craziness.

Hollywood Studios was busier than we expected today too. One of the CMs said there were lots of tour groups in the park today.

Very disappointed by the weather again today. We leave tomorrow so it's kind of hard to hear everyone saying how beautiful it will be after today. Someone call a waaaambulance for me.

I'm hoping things will be slow for Super Bowl Sunday? What are the thoughts on that?

This is exactly what we noticed. They started popping up everywhere yesterday.

Not sure how well it compares. But we were at the MK on election night (2012) and we were the only ones walking in Adventureland.

There is a Dance competition at WWoS this weekend.

I think all the parks are recommended on that day, so I'm hoping that means it'll be slow. Although...MK was recommended for today, and that didn't work out too well.

We were there today and I didn't think it was bad. First trip in many years...so I have nothing to compare to. We were there at rope drop and by noon we had done PP, IASW, Pooh, the Speedway, and SM (twice since we did rider swap). Lunch at cosmic rays was busy and Tomorrowland did seem a bit crowded at that time...but then we knocked off Buzz Lightyear, Jungle Cruise, and BTMR with FP+...plus snuck in people mover and magic carpets in between. Went back to the resort for a bit around 3:30...then got back to the park at 6:45 and had no issue getting a spot near Town Square Theater for the parade and had a decent spot on Main Street for Wishes. Waited maybe 10 minutes for a bus back to All Star Music. My only complaint is we had to wait 30 min in the rain to get the bus at our resort back to MK for the parade. Otherwise...can't complain...got a lot done! Maybe we got lucky and just were able to miss the crowded sections of the park.

I had been expecting it to clear up the past two days and it hasn't. At this point I'm not holding my breath for it to get better tomorrow...although it should at least be warmer even if it doesn't dry out. Fireworks today were very obscured by the clouds which was a bit of a bummer.

 

[CdnCarrie]

We were there today. Got there around 10:30 after disembarking from the Magic. We stayed until closing and rode a ton of things. Tad bit more crowded then I expected but most things were a walk on.

We were at MK today as well and didn't think it was too bad, we did everything we wanted and never queued for longer than 20 minutes. We arrived at 8 for a ADR at CP and left the park for 3 hours at 2. Bummer about the rain though, I thought that's what I left behind in England.

 

[newlywed mice]

We went to MK yesterday about 5pm it was busy and raining(again) we did see lots of cheer groups too I was surprised by the lines but then again we were there on Wednesday when it was a ghost town lol. We had already seen wishes and the parade so we took advantage if low waits during that time. Today's weather is suppose to be better but if course we are leaving today lol. Our plan is to hit park use our FP and then head back for our ME at 3

I feel for you guys, 4 days of clouds and cold is unusual for us here in Florida. Still cloudy today, but at least it's warmer. It should be better by Sunday. Hope everyone is making the best of it.
