Well it's President's Week so it is more crowded this week than a typical February week. Still I was there last Saturday (AK) and yesterday (DHS), and it wasn't bad. On both days, the headliners had a 40-60 minute wait at most with the exception of TSM, which is insane anyday.

We were just there from Feb.11 - 18. From 12 -14 the crowds were very manageable. The 15th - 17th the crowd levels were much greater. The longest wait time I saw was 100 minutes. Even with the higher crowd levels on Sun.-Tues. we were still able to ride all the rides we wanted to without waiting that long. I think our longest wait time was 40 min., that was for TSM. With that said, we were still able to ride TSM 6 times during our stay. As long as you get up and get going in the morning and use the fastpass crowd levels shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Here now and crowds are still pretty heavy, saw a 100 minute wait for Soarin today and a 60 minute wait for Test Track at Epcot.

A bit lower crowds than earlier in the week when we saw a 45 min wait for Spaceship Earth and the crowds to ride Rio Tempo in Mexico were lined all up in front of San Angel Restaurant in a huge maze.

Nemo ride was a walk on for us this morning and DH rode Mission Space with a 5 minute wait for the Green Side.

Best advice is get there early and you should be fine. We have seen everything we wanted this week with FP and very minimum waits for smaller attractions later in the day.

We were in MK on 2/17 (Tuesday, no EMH) At dinner time, the wait for HM was 30 min, POTC was 20 min, the Tiki Room had room left over. Not what we were expecting for that day, at all. Having said that, there were no fastpasses left for HM, POTC or BTMRR

Haunted Mansion and Pirates don't have FastPass.

Was in the parks the 12th and 13th (we typically go Jan -Mar) and this seemed to be the busiest we can remember.

Maybe it was the absolutely beautiful 80 degree weather...
Maybe it was the lead in to Idol weekend...
Maybe it was the the pre President's weekend crowd...
Maybe it was because we just got off the DCL cruise and were spoiled from being around MUCH smaller crowds...
Or maybe it was that every time we went to get in line, a group of about 50-80 girls from some tour group got in line just in front of us ;-)

A sampling of wait times...
60 min for TSM (fast pass return was already for 5:00 at 10:30am).
30 min for Test Track even with a Fast Pass
45 minutes for Buzz Lightyear
50 minutes for the Haunted Masion
Even the Indiana Jones action show at Hollywood Studios was SRO.

Thank goodness for the family that approached us as we entered Magic Kingdom that gaves us 4 fast passes to Big Thunder Railway! Less than 10 minutes in the fast pass line!

This is the third February break I've been down here for and I can tell you that the crowds are the lightest I've seen. Now keep in mind that is for the Feb break only. Ive seen them a lot heavier than they are now. Ive been here since Saturday @ OKW and am leaving this Saturday. HDDR didnt even have the upper deck full for the 9:30 and this is the third one Ive been to. A lot of people, but nearly as many as in the past.

That would explain why my husband couldn't get them!

I was at BBB with my daughter. I think he's allergic to hairspray, or the colour pink, or fairy godmothers. So he found an excuse to leave.

OMG that is absolutely hysterical.

Men always have a way of getting out of everything, don't they?
