Crowds in the Evening

[Designtime]

Hello all,
We are going to be at the parks from July 13-17. We are not staying on site the first 2 nights. I know everyone says get their early and leave for lunch later, but I am interested in what the crowds are like in the evening during busy weeks. Can anyone give me an idea what crowds will be like?

Crowds are at their worst from about 11am to 2pm, then gradually thin out through the day. Evening crowds are relatively light for the most part, tend to get a little heavier as it gets close to time for the fireworks. BTW, I know most people on here follow the "leave for lunch" philosophy, I disagree in general but to each their own. HOWEVER, if it happens to rain (in FL, in the summer...what are the odds??), then all bets are off. Grab a poncho, hopefully you brought one from home but if not it's the best $7 you'll ever spend, and get in line. People leave in droves the second the rain hits, it's hilarious to watch. Especially when you know it's just an afternoon storm and will be over in less than an hour. Awesome time to go on rides with almost no wait!!
