Crowds May 18-22?

[kgforce]

Any thoughts on what the crowds will be like May 18-22?

We'll probably go to the MK and maybe Disney Studios.

The rest of the time, we'll be going to USF/IOA (sacrilege!). We're getting annual passes there (only $99!).

We'll be back to WDW in Dec., so we will spend most of our time there and not USF/IOA

Hi.

We're going the same dates you are and also returning in Dec. We're staying at BCV. Interested to hear what people have to say about the crowds. We're hoping the Memorial Day people will not arrive until the 23rd...

That's our thinking, too! We'll be at OKW.

I'm guessing that many schools will still be in session, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I know the last day for our school district is May 30.

hi: we've gone in that time frame a few times over the years-crowds were never that big a deal. as the month goes on, it does get more and more crowded though. i'm jealous, but have a wonderful trip(s) !

We've got a 2 1/2 yr old daughter, and a 15 month old son.

It's gonna be a long car trip from Houston to WDW!!!

We should all meet at Stormalong Bay...

Mine are older,

My daughters are 10 and 17 and my son is 11. They should have a great time, but my 17yo is bringing at least one friend and they want the studio portion of the lockoff....So, I would guess much of my vacation will be spent trying to keep them out of trouble!!

My ex-wife lives in Florida, so I assume she will come up for part of the trip to visit the kids, maybe she can keep an eye on some of them!!

We were at Disney this time frame last year and are going again this year the same time. Last year we left on Monday and came home on the Sunday before Memorial Day. The weather and the parks were very nice up until the Friday going into Memorial Day. Then the place was swamped with crowds. This year we are going down the weekend before hoping to miss the Memorial Day crowds. I really liked goint during this time. Hope this helps!!

Whew! This is the day I'm leaving from my trip. Thank goodness.

We leave WDW late on Friday, May 23. Are the crowds high all day or do they build up toward friday night?

We are leaving late Friday as well from a 7 day trip. We plan to save Friday for mostly fast pass attractions and live shows- maybe a repeat of a favorite thing or two but we are not saving any must-do items for this day. We are expecting the crowds to be getting thick that day.
Hope you have fun!
