Is It Ever Slow Anymore?

[MelissathePooh]

I think "slow" is also a relative term. What I consider slow from back in the late 90's and what someone else would consider slow can be very different.

I remember Octobers of not just walk on attractions, but pictures on Main Street and in front of the WS lake with NO ONE in the background. Entire resorts or sections of resorts being closed and people moved to other resorts. Loved getting a $99 savannah view room at AKL because they shut down CBR for a while. POFQ was closed for a while too.

That is my concept of slow. Now it is either more crowded or less crowded, but always crowded...

Disney does not comment on attendance figures.

They may not comment...but the numbers are out there. Well, 2012 numbers aren't available yet, but 2011 is.

Park attendance was basically static from 2010 to 2011.

I think part of the problem is people like the PPs, who consider "slow" to be when you have Main Street to yourself or don't wait at all for any rides.

I just went looking, because I remember seeing something a few years ago, but I can't find these statistics. Anyone have a link? I would love some solid numbers.

Thanks!

The best time we have gone is definitely September, it was a near ghost town. January is also a great quiet time. We went the week after Thanksgiving last year thinking it would be quiet and it was crazy!

We went in January earlier this year, right before MLK. We literally walked on everything! Fantasyland at night was empty. It was awesome. We were able to take multiple rides on Snow White because there was NO ONE in line. I hope it's like that when we go back in 24 days!!
