Just back! Any questions?

I just got back tonight and still need to unpack Went to all four parks and MNSSHP on the 23rd and 24th. Weather got a little chilly while we were there for a couple of days. No crowds at the beginning of our trip. We walked on most of the rides but Wednesday...oh my Lord!!! The Magic Kingdom was a madhouse. We got there after lunch and the wait for POC was 60 minutes I loved the new version of POC but was also sad bc I can remember the days of walking on the ride or when a 10 minute wait was long. Now that Capt. jack has been added EVERYONE wants to ride it!!! On Sunday we might have waited 5 minutes for it but as the crowds grew so did the wait time. Both nights of the parties were fun. I will try to get more detailed tomorrow but if anyone has any questions I would be more than happy to try and answer them

That stinks that POTC has a long line now! We're thinking about taking a last minute trip and go the parks Sun and possibly MNSSHP on Mon night. Were other parks besides MK crowded?

Not really, We didn' wait more than 10 minutes for a ride in MGM (before lunch), Epcot: we rode Soarin' got a FP went and rode MS and TT, walked around a little and came back for our FP time @ Soarin' all within the first 2 hours of EE. MK on Sunday was very manageable but this was not close to Haloween and this weekend is...i saw the crowds grow significantly on Wednesday. I would recommend doing POC early in the day and you could probably walk on or would have no more than a 10 minute wait. Animal Kingdon on Wed. morning was not too crowded. We did EE 3 times, the safari ride, Tough to be a bug ate lunch at tusker House and left Animal Kingdom by noon.

Oh, forgot to mention! For all those worried about party crashers at MNSSHP DON'T! CMs were EVERYWHERE In fact we were there for the party on the 24th and it was 6:50-we were walking from Adventureland to Pecos Bills and a CM yelled, "EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO SEE YOUR BRACELETS!" We lifted up our sleeves and showed them to her and she nodded her head like we could proceed. Waiting for the parade on the second night several CMs walked down Main Street holding up their arms and very loudly saying "BRACELETS!" making everyone show them. I had to kind of laught, I'm glad they were enforcing the rules but at one point I thought I was in a concentration camp

Thanks! I didn't think about it getting busy closer to Halloween. I know it gets crowded during other holidays like Christmas but I didn't think about Halloween.
