How busy is the last weekend of F&W?

We are heading down to WDW this coming weekend to try and fit in some of the Food & Wine Festival activities. I know that the weekends are generally more crowded than weekdays. How bad is the last weekend?

Thanks for any help.

We were there last Sat. night w/ an ADR for Marakesh at 5:30. Just trying to get through the World Showcase was a nightmare. Lines for kiosks were 20-30 people long. Maybe the crowds were partly due to it being Jersey week, but it was insane. This was our 3rd year in a row going that same week, and by far the most busy.

We were there last week and only did F & W through Friday evening. It was starting to get crowded and we left around dinner time. We made sure to steer clear completely on Saturday/Sunday. It's AWESOME.

Thanks for the responses!!

I love the F&W Festival but we couldn't get any time off this year to go. I managed to squeak in a weekend although I know it's generally a mad house on weekends. I have never attended on the final weekend of the festival and I was hoping it would be less crazy. I am sure we will manage to suffer through it.

Thanks again,

Kelly

Good news is that the merchandise is discounted (at least that's what we found last year).

We'll be there on Sunday - cant wait to eat around the world !!

To be honest - we wont care about the crowds - as long as we are on Vaction and at Disney !!!
