Kamgen,
we were there last year. we arrived the day after memorial day for 14 nights. the first week after the holiday was remarkably empty, the second week started getting quite a bit more crowded. When I say empty, this is probably relative to when you are used to going.

The parks slow down a bit the Tuesday after Memorial Day and from then through the second week in June the crowds are "moderate" by Disney standards. Moderate is still pretty busy though. Wait times for major attractions can be anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours.

Go in expecting crowds and some waits. FastPass will help a lot.

That week is typically Gay Week at Disney. Check out their schedule at gayday.com. If you manage to avoid the park they visit each day, the crowds aren't too bad. MK on the Saturday is a complete zoo -- lines are awful.

The website stated that it started June 5th. Only the 2002 schedule was posted.

GayDay festivities are always built around the first Saturday of June. Sometimes it is the weekend following Memorial Day, sometimes it is the 2nd weekend after memorial day. It depends on when the first Saturday of June hits. For 2003 it is the 2nd weekend after Memorial day, as June 1 is a Sunday.
