Ironic that the sold out party was ess crowded then the not sold out...odd?

We went to Epcot yesterday and it wasn't too bad. Today we went to MK and it was horrible. We left around 2. I think things will get better starting tomorrow. Weekends are always more crowded. Easy WDW has 2's and 3's for the week. I hope they are right. Headed to HS tomorrow

I was surprised how crowded it was. MK Saturday was crowded. Touring plans said MK was going to be a 2 so we headed there. Ummmmm no, it was crazy. Saw posted this morning touring plans said what they saw was a 7. Wonder if Disney is going to scale back free dinning and resort discounts on more weeks this next year. It wasn't bad during the week. Nothing like the summer, but more than I expected.

Can someone that's there right now tell me how the crowds are? We're thinking of going this same week next year instead of our usual January trip. Thanks!

bumping this up.....curious how the crowds were this past week?? I read that they were a 3, true/?

To sum this up...Disney has done a phenomenal marketing job filling up the "slow" times. Crowd calendars where not even close to being accurate..but you can't blame them. They couldn't predict this. MK on Sat 15th seemed to me what a summer day would be like. Zoo! I would say they were in this order, from the parks we attended:

14th AK = 3
14th MK (afternoon + MVCP) = 5
15th MK = 8
16th Epcot = 5
17th MK = 6 (pm rain made me move this from 7 to 6)
18th MK = 6

We have been here for a week now and quhawk's estimate is about right, MK has been absolutely packed every day that we visited. AK has been fine and Epcit was fine on Tuesday. HS was very busy on Monday and the rain did not encourage people to leave. Except for AK and Tuesday, it has been very hard to walk and the wait times on my TP were thrown out the window. Waited for everything, restrooms, snacks, etc, we have waited in line an average of ten minutes just to order counter service - this does not include the time it took to get our food. Last night we waited 45 minutes to get a boat from MK to WL. Pretty much all transportation has been very crowded. This week has certainly not been a 2-3 level week like many predicted.
