How are the crowds today?

I'm leaving early Saturday and I'd like to hear about the crowds right now please!

My parents went to Epcot today and there was next to nobody there. They went right onto Soarin with NO wait, and when it ended they went right on again!

But it's usually much slower on weekdays than weekends. So it will be considerably more crowded on this weekend, especially considering it's a holiday weekend.

We just got back today! We were there for 6 nights and had a great time. We never waited more then 15 minutes for any ride at MK, Epcot or AK. It was however, very hot and humid. It rained a bit every day but that never stopped us--it doesn't last long.

Have a great trip! Time flies at WDW!

It's positively dead at WDW right now. I have a friend who is a high-level manager with guest relations at WDW, the MK specifically. There were 11,000 people in the MK today. Last year he told me that they did four times that, and that they expected slightly more this year. This whole disaster and resulting gas crisis have are already having an impact on the area. I had breakfast at a WDW resort this morning...the parking lot was *empty*...two days before Labor Day weekend.

Thanks guys! I wanted DW to be slow for our vacation, but not because of the hurricane and gas prices!

Yes, it's unfortunate that it's slow for the reasons you stated. But that's not your fault....so have fun.
