How busy were the crowds over the Columbus Day weekend?

Specifically the dates from Oct 7 to Monday the 11th.

Sat & Sun (9 & 10) were busy...but not as busy as summer.

There were wait times tho.

Not sure what you're looking for exactly?

Oh- that is what it was!! We went on Saturday and pretty much just strolled around. Most of the lines were too long for us. (but we're spoiled locals!)

It wasn't too bad. But I did notice that it was more crowded than I had seen it in a while.

How long were waits for Forbidden Journey by noon?

Bubba's mom: Was looking for comparisons to other times of the year like March break.

I wish I could give you that info but we only walked around US. I can tell you the wait for FJ was 45 min last night around 5pm. And I can check the wait for you tomorrow.

Remember - the single rider line is almost always walk on and you will save yourself a ton of time if you don't carry a bag / purse / backpack. (Belly bags are ok)

Did you get a sense of crowds/waits at US? eg. for Men in Black or Simpsons?

 

[bubba's mom]

i'd say the crowds wouldn't be as bad for Columbus Day as they would spring break.

I saw MIB 60 min...can't remember what Simpsons was (stayed at PBH), but the line I did remember seeing, didn't seem all that long.

I know FJ was posted 75 min around 2-3pm on Sat. We did it because out of the 4 of us, BIL was only one who didn't do it yet. We were loading within 45min. actually. Line was steadily moving.

sorry not more help, but i don't really look at standby times because we ALWAYS stay onsite.

Yes- I would say everything was 45+ min wait this weekend. We were going to ride ET but skipped it because the wait was 30 minutes - we saw the animal show, walked around a little, and left.
