how busy in may?

[bhillier]

I have a may 10 - 18 th trip planned. How busy is it then? Are the lines for the attractions long? Are the restaurant packed?I just finished with my PS . Well the best I could do not ever having been to DW. Just how busy is May?

I have been 6 times in the first 2 weeks of May. In general it is not real busy. Lines can be 5-15 minutes long sometimes and longer at the major attractions later in the day but if you get there first thing in the morning it is a breeze. The Parks are each busiest on their respective surprise morning days and at the MK is super busy on Saturday and most of the time the Spectromagic Parade and fireworks are on Saturday only which means huge crowds al day and evening. The other parks are pretty easy to handle.

My experience is similar to daannzzz's. Some ride times can creep a little longer than 15 minutes, but if you use FastPass well, you can avoid standing for very long.

EMH is good for most parks, even Epcot. What my DW and I do is go to EMH, then hop to another park by mid-day. At Epcot, however, we usually spend the entire day and have never had problems with crowds.

We avoid MK on Saturdays like the plague -- unless you like being shoulder to shoulder with people all day long.

We usually made a PS for dinner if we ate in the parks; it saved some wait time at the restaurant. Lunch -- we played by ear. Never had a huge wait. Sometimes we'd make a last-minute PS at the park when we went in.
