What are the crowds like the first week of May? We normally go the last week of May so we are there over Memorial Day but this year my DS has testing at school at that time.
We went last year the first week of May and found it mildly crowded. We usually go in January or February so it was definitely more crowded than we were used to but we followed our TGM plans and we were fine. We never waited more than 20 minutes for anything, but we did end up skipping a few rides bc the wait times got long in the afternoon, but by long we mean 30 minutes or more.
Our first trip with the kids was over memorial day weekend; our second was the first week in May and I thought the crowds were noticeably lighter. We also use TGM plans and never waited more than 15-20 minutes for anything (and 20 min was really pushing it, we really had to want to do it!)
We love to go in early May. The weather is usually quite nice and the crowds are not bad at all! We went the last week in May for the first time in 2009 and we noticed a huge jump in the crowds. We will never go that late in May again if we can help it!
Have a great trip! We will be there in the middle of May this year and I can't wait!!
