just back and here's my crowd report

[poohfan]

We didn't do any EMH but we did try to get to the parks by 9 am, usually we were there by 9:30.

Sunday (9/4) at AK and Monday at Studios we didn't wait more than 10 minutes for anything. Tuesday we got to Fantasyland at 9:05 am and it was amazing! It felt like we were the only ones there. We walked on to all the rides and were done in less than 1 hour. Next we went to Tomorrowland and it was the same thing there. Toontown was more crowded but not bad at all. It seemed that the crowds picked up in the pm but then the waits were 5 - 10 minutes instead of 0. That's how it was in all the parks for the rest of our stay.

Saturday (9/10) the crowds picked up a little but we got to MK early did a quick run around Fantasyland with 0 wait on Pooh, PP, Snow White and Philharmagic and then did Pirates of Caribbean before leaving at noon.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks - sounds like crowds are quite low at the moment then. Fingers crossed they stay like that. Did you eat TS at all? If so, did you have ADRs?

Wow! That sounds awesome! I am wondering how the crowds will be when we were there in November. I tried to set up our schedule to avoid the crowds at the last weekend of the Food & Wine Festival and Super Soap Weekend. How do you think this will be:

Saturday the 12th - Magic Kingdom (hoping crowds will be at Epcot and MGM for the above mentioned)

Sunday the 13th - Animal Kingdom

Monday the 14th - MGM

Tuesday the 15th - Epcot

Wednesday the 16th - MGM

Thursday the 17th - Epcot

Friday the 18th - Magic Kingdom

Do you think this will give us enough time at each park? To much time? This is a first for us.

Thank you.

That is amazing that you could just walk on rides and do fantasy land in an hour! I'm so glad for you!

Sounds like a nice trip!

I just had visions of me running screaming through Tomorrowland and lying on the ground crying in front of Space Mountain from pure joy.....

Even if I don't even make it to WDW, I have gotten my money's worth in imagination.

We avoided any of the EMH mornings and tried to go to a park the day after either an EMH morning or an EMH evening. Our schedule was
Sun - AK
Mon - MGM
Tues - MK
Wed - Epcot
Thur - MK
Fri - MGM and Epcot
Sat am - MK

We had ADR's for all of our TS's but most of the places had empty tables when we went. The exception was Primetime 50's and CRT, there was a line outside waiting to get in. I was glad we had ADR for those.

I normally go in July when the crowds are outrageous and we did the EMH nights and they were great! It was cooler than daytime and although we still had to wait about 20 mins for most rides it was much nicer. I imagine the EMH are great at this time of year!

We were there last year at this time and it was great!! Your schedule looks great. MK got more crowded as the week went on, but not bad at all. This was the only park we used FP in - was good for BTMRR - probably 30 minutes without FP, but FP return times were really close (on Thursday). MGM on Monday was fantastic - didn't even have the FP machines operating. EPCOT never felt crowded (or really even busy). A CM told me that hotels during that week were about 50% capacity - the weekends were still crazy but if you stay away from EPCOT and MGM you should be fine. We did typhoon lagoon and except for the wave pool, crowds were pretty light.

I think this is a wonderful time to be at WDW. The weather was unbelievable. We weren't even worn out at the end of the day because it wasn't hot. It was just gorgeous. Have Fun!!
