That doesn't seem bad for the weekend before Thanksgiving. Anyone else?

Sat 11/18 at Mk, We got there at opening did all of Fantasy land by 10:15 then did Splash and Thunder Mtns as walk ons, longest wait was to see Mickey at about 11, that was probably 10 min. We left and came back for Dinner at LTT, things were pretty crowed around 6 pm and the country Bears were full but we still got in at the last minute. Spectro and Wishes were crowded but not horrible. We had to wait for 3 buses after Wishes which I thought wasn't too bad.

Sat and Sun not bad. Today was a different story. It was much more crowded today. Small World waits were up to 40 minutes, Peter Pan, 100 minutes, Pooh 70 minutes, Space Mountain 80 minutes and Buzz 50-60 minutes. Haunted Mansion was listed at 40 minutes one time, but the lines were so long they filled the walkway between there and Fantasyland so that it was very difficult to even move. Those are some I remembered off hand from early afternoon.

Crowds getting worse as expected. Today at AK, if you did not have a Fast Pass, you were looking at steep waits. FPs for EE were gone very early. We hit the Safari first and went over to EE for FPs right after. Our return time was already 3PM. Some of the wait times I saw were 120 minutes for EE, 70 for Dinosaur, 50 for Primeval Whirl and 40 for Tricerotop Spin. Lines for the new Nemo show were pretty long 45-50 minutes before the show and we heard over 200 people in line for the 3PM show were turned away. The walkways were VERY crowded and tight today. Each Thanksgiving week seems to get a little more crowded each year.

Friday afternoon at MGM was great. RnR said 20 min wait, was really about 15 mins and this was at 4. Osborne Lights were easy to walk around and see. Had a 5:10 reservation at Sci-Fi. We arrived at 5 and were seated right away. POR did not seem full at all.

Sat. morning at MK was a breeze. We were done by 2 and headed to Epcot. No people in the food court later that evening.

Sunday morning when we went to the food court at POR it looked like the crowds had descended from everywhere We had the place to ourselves until this day. But we were leaving after lunch, so I don't really know how bad it got after that.

We went last T'giving and it was crowded, but we went to the parks at opening and did fine. This past weekend was much lighter than last T'giving!

no doubt. we there then as well.
Here is a picture of the POR food court at dinner time on wed nov 14th

And here is the same food court, at the same time of night exactly 72 hours later; on Sat nov 18th.

What in God's name happened?

A lady at the registartion desk told me that from midnite friday the 17th till midnite sat the 18th that por went from 25% capacity to 89% capacity.

We were at CBR from Wednesday evening until Sunday morning....

Wednesday & Thursday the food court was deserted, on Sunday morning it was packed!

As for the park crowds, Epcot was slightly crowded on Saturday - 70 minutes for Soarin at 2:00 pm, 50 minutes for Test Track. We waited 20 minutes for Nemo around 1:00 pm.

AK on Friday was crowded, but there were several field trips there... we seemed to hit every line at the exact same time as at least one of them!

Thursday at the MK was great! It poured in the am, so we practically had the park to ourselves, and finished all the rides by lunch.

Those photo's about sum it up! We did not see the crowds until Sunday morning breakfast though. I am guessing everyone arrived on Saturday for the week!

We left on Sunday morning. The week was excellent- walked onto everything, did AK on Saturday morning and it was getting a little crowded, then MGM was mobbed Saturday night for Osbourne Lights at least the start, and Fantasmic was full. We went to the lights after Fantasmic and it was much better.

I was at Epcot on Friday (Nov. 17) and it was great. We pretty much walked on to everything, no fast passes needed all day. On Sunday at MK--very different--most rides had a wait time of 60 minutes or more. Winnie The Pooh posted a 20 min. wait, but it was actually 50 min.
