Crowds Last 2 weeks of May

How are the last 2 weeks of May? I know that Mothers Day is the 14th how are the 2 weeks between that and Memorial Day? TIA

We were there the last week of May last year from 5/22 - 5/29. The crowds were low all week until the Friday before Memorial Day. The weather was great; this was the first time we went to Fl and it never rained!
The parks are crowded around every three-day week-end as the locals turn out. It was also a Star Wars week-end and this added to the crowd. Still not heavy, but more then during the week.

We also were at WDW the last week of May this past year. I would have to disagree with the above report. Since we go at this time every year, I have to note that the crowds were much larger this past year. We extended our trip through the Memorial Weekend, which was a big mistake. (We should have realized this when we first learned that all hotels within 20+ minutes of WDW were completely booked, but dh perservered and caught a last minute cancellation at CSR.) MGM on Friday was packed. By noon on Saturday, it was difficult to get around MK. Epcot, which is so spread out, also felt crowded. We found the end of July/beginning of August to be surprisingly far less crowded. Go back and read the trip reports from this time period. I think you'll find many, many Dis-ers posting similar experiences to mine.
