We were at WDW from the night of 1/26 to the night of 1/30. DH and I took his family--all Disney newbies, including our 14 month old nephew and 5 year old niece. It was fabulous to see Disney through their eyes!
Crowds were heavier than we had seen in awhile, and we always go in the off season (i.e. September, early December). Having said that, we were still able to do most of what we wanted to to in the MK on Thursday (and most fastpass machines weren't operating b/c waits were less than 30 min). Our niece was able to get lots of character autographs in Toontown, which was the highlight of her day! Spectro was watched by the masses, but we still got a decent view from Liberty Square. Friday was cold and rainy, and Epcot was basically empty--not sure if that's due to the weather or the park itself or both. We did TT with a fastpass, but the standby line was only like 30 min or something. It really was an unpleasant day to be outside, though, and we bailed by about 4PM to head back for a warm dinner.
MK on Saturday was packed, but I expected that. I have to say though, that if this was the off season crowd, I can't even imagine summer crowds!!! Weather got steadily better from Saturday through to Sunday. Did MGM on Sunday, also kind of busy but manageable. We did RnR and ToT in a span of about an hour, arriving at 11AM. Could have fastpassed but chose to wait.
Happy to answer any questions from here at my desk, back at work
