How crowded are the other parks (not MK)

Is MK the only one we need to be concerned about? I plan on doing an EE on Thursday, leaving for the afternoon, and then returning later in the day. We have 4 day hoppers and do not plan on spending a full day at Epcot so we figured we could go back again then. Sounds like unless you're doing EE, avoid MK in the morning??

We were at WDW July 20-28. Mk is crowded. Epcot was not too bad on the Saturday we went. You will need fast passes for Test Track and Mission Space. MGM was very manageable on a Monday. We walked into Star Tours and only waited 10 minutes at 11:30. We also got right into the first Millionaire show. We didn't go to Rock n' roll coaster or ToT. We went to AK in the afternoon on a Tuesday and it wasn't really crowded.

We were at MGM today, and it was WALL TO WALL people! The lines for the attractions stayed above 45 minutes to one hour and all FP's were pretty much gone by 5 pm.

It was an early entry day, but even so, it was majorly crowded! There was a line for Fantasmic out to Sunset Blvd by 6:30 pm, and the show didn't even start until 9! It was INCREDIBLE.

We were in Epcot on Saturday, and because of the layout of the park, it didn't seem too bad. The return time for FP's for Test Track at 2 pm was 7:30 pm... and they had run out by 3 pm. The standby line was constantly at an hour but the single rider line took about 20 minutes.

We even stood in line for Figment for 20 minutes......

MK has been super crowded during the day. It was CRAZY on Sunday and even though I had to work, my family went yesterday, and during the day, managed to ride Splash Mountain, with a FP and Pirates of the Caribbean. They left for dinner, with FP's for both Space Mountain and Buzz with them, and when they returned about 7:30, they were able to ride both, and Buzz a 2nd time, see part of the parade, and Tinkerbelle's Flight and the fireworks. I heard from other guests today, that when they returned around 9 pm, they were able to walk on the rides in Fantasyland. That may be the trick to the MK... go at night, and ride during parades... you just have to keep the little ones up long enough!

If this type of attendence keeps up, they won't be able to say that WDW isn't making its numbers! It is looking just like summers should at WDW!!!!

We were in MK last Sunday. It was packed but we could finish almost everything. On Monday did the AK early entry, it was hot and crowded by 11:00AM, we went to the Studios in the afternoon, and the FP's were gone by 5:00PM Fantasmic was full 1 hour before the show, fortunatelly we could do it.

The heat is terrible, we consumed 3+ bottles of water p/person!

All this week have been long thunderstorms in the mid-afternoon (2 hours of heavy rain) and most of the big rides have to stop. After that the night becomes clear and the weather is better.
