Hi

I've just discovered that my carefully planned trip doesn't start on Memorial day weekend like I thought but has it smack in the middle :mad:

We arrive on the 24th May until 4th June staying off site (international drive). My current plan for parks is as follows:

Tue 25th Seaworld
Wed 26th MGM
Friday 28th MK
Sunday 30th IOA
Monday 31st US

Given that the Monday is Memorial day does anyone have experience of attendance figures for that weekend and any thoughts on whether I should change our current plans (in terms of which park on which days - can't change flights!!). I had read that for the end of May we'd be looking at typical queues of 30 mins which is fine but I want to avoid 60+ mins for rides.

Thanks
Brendan
 
Personally i would plan Non park days for the saturday/sunday and monday!

We didnt even attempt to get into the parks last year, as from the friday the crowds really start building up!.

Waits are 1 hour plus if youre lucky LOL!!
Come tuesday its all back to normal!!, if I were you Id schedule, lots of other things to do, ie, Boggy creaks airboat ride fantasia mini golf,shopping, relaxing by the pool etc etc.

If you feel you have to go to the parks, Go late afternoon, when most people head of to the onsite hotels for a rest.

HOWEVER its a great time to go, weather is fantastic, and crowds are minimal at the rest of the time you are there, check my countdown, we love MAY!!!
