Just Back! Update On Crowds...

[JessiMommy]

For everyone going soon please prepare yourselves for the horrendous crowds! This is what we encountered at EPCOT Monday 9-11. It wsa just awful! These pictures were taken at approximately 12:15, 1:20 & 2:30 in the afternoon.

On a serious note.... the parks all seemed to have elevated attendance over the weekend but on Friday & Monday they were very light as in non exsistent!! Keep in mind when I say elevated attendance on weekends I only mean 10-15 minute waits at the most! Saturday & Sunday most things were either a walk on or at most a 10-15 minute wait!! It was awesome!!!! We went with no dining arrangements made since it was a last minute trip & it was difficult to get in table service places but that was the only problem we encountered! Hope this little update puts a smile on your faces!!

Well, if I must endure massive crowds like that for our stay, I guess I can cowgirl up and take it. Maggie

That is pretty much how our trip was in Epcot the last week in August.

Hope you had a great time!!

You had me scared there for a minute.

Evil Queen we arrive Saturday as well for 7 days and we are staying at POP! This is a sister trip. Just me (29) and my sister (20). She lives about 8 hours from me so I only get to see her once a year. We are so excited.

My Disney Friend was at Mk and Epcot on 9-11. She called me and said that her longest wait was 5 minutes. Otherwise she walked on each ride.

How did you handle it? You must be very brave!!

Wonder if it will be "as" crowded in two weeks?

 

[DisneyWorldWisher]

I hope they stay like that for our trip!

We're heading out on Sunday for 8 days at CSR! DD10 broke her foot a little over a week ago, and I was worried about having to push her through crowds in a wheelchair. Good to know that I shouldn't be as concerned.

Guess I should stop watching the boards for crowd reports and finish the laundry so we can get packed!

We will be arriving on Sat. as well for 8 nights at POR. WOW I hope the parks stay this uncrowded..It does look kind of spooky there though. Thanks for the photos.

Oh how fun for you!!

In most ways I'm excited, but feel like I don't have enough time to get my house in order or packing.....I guess if I stayed off the boards I might get stuff done.

We are staying 7 nights too. Me, DS24, DS23 and DS10.

I'm loving the crowd thing. Last year we only had 1 ride with a wait of 20 minutes.....everything else in every park was 10 minutes or walk on.

That is WONDERFUL news! I just can't wait!! Just a few more days ... We'll be there Friday.

 

[tacomaranch]

That looks good to me. We arrive in two weeks. Keep everyone away!

 

[TLC371]

Thanks for posting that! We'll be there next week...I hope it's just as "crowded" then!

 

[smsnorthup]

Woo Hoo!! We leave tomorrow for 6 nights!! Question for the OP...were the fast pass machines working since it was so quiet?

 

[princesstigerlilly]

I hope the crowds thin out for you

Looks fantastic!
