Crowds at AK during Expedition Everest preview???

[amarberry]

We had been planning to be at AK on 1/26 and 1/28. Now I'm concerned with the EE preview. Anyone have any thought on how crowded it will be? We are traveling with an 18 month old and like to avoid the crowds at all costs!!!!

Thanks!

Well, AK will definitely be more crowded than it usually is at this time of year, especially in the EE area. As for HOW crowded, that's hard to predict - I'd think that quite a few people will show up that weekend where it's open to both DVC and AP holders.

If you really want to avoid crowds, I'd say head to another park...

My thoughts are:

A. No difference in "normal" crowd levels.

B. Twice as many guests as "normal" (How many IS that? And would it matter?)

C. Thousands more guests than normal, all standing in the EE queue.

D. Might need to CLOSE the Animal Kingdom to non-property guests due to over-crowding.


Those are the "thoughts" we all have.
But since nobody KNOWS...

My GUESS is "B".
