Hi all

We'll be going Pres Week arriving on a Sat. Normally we are up at the crack of dawn and are at the parks before opening. This time I bought the 5day tickets and figure maybe we could do something a little different. Please tell me what you think.

I was thinking of heading to US or IOA on Sunday for a couple of hours. Not looking to do an early morning here so when would be the best time to go? 3pm? Are the crowds still bad at that time or are they thinning out? Which park would you recommend?

Monday, probably the same plan--a few hours, looking more to walk around, check things out, go to a restaurant at city walk. I figure the big rides will have long waits but are there some other rides that might not be as popular? Is there some kiddie playground where we could hang out?

The rest of the week we plan to do the early morning commando type touring that we normally do. I just figured we wouldn't really need 5 days to tour both parks and the only thing we lose out on by going is the parking fee.

So what does everyone think? By the way, if previous Pres weekends have been horrible crowd wise, please let me know. We'd rather stay at the villa than go to a crowded park. (by crowded I mean shoulder to shoulder, no where to move)

Thanks in advance
 
Last year it was pretty crowded but not shoulder to shoulder. Orlando schools are out on the 20th. Is Jersey week that week also?
 
We were there last year during that week (mon-fri). We didn't think it felt crowded, but then, we were staying at RPR with FOTL! Awesome. Regular lines, I can't say...
 
thanks for your responses. What do you think about going at 3pm? Is it worth it?

That Saturday and Sunday are crowded, but not the rest of the week.
