Just Back

[pongoperdigirl]

Hello All! I am just back from a lovely week at the World. I stayed at Pop from June 26-Jul 1 (Left first thing on the 2nd ) A fantastic time was had by all. I didn't wait more than 15 minutes to do anything that I wanted. Extra magic hours were awesome, especially at the MK everything was virtually a walk on except for Space Mountain. If anyone has questions feel free to ask away.

How early did you arrive every day? We are going for the first time July 25-30; we want to see and do a lot without waiting in long lines.

Hi, Welcome back. We were at the POP during the same time. We were by the big wheel. Where were you at? Had a great stay and a great trip too.

Well, uhhhh, we WANTED to get there early every day but it didn't happen like that. Most days we got there at some point between 9 and 10 ish. We used Fast Passes for the things we really wanted to do. Except for Soarin which I never got to do because I couldn't get a FP for it and I wasn't going to wait over 2 hours standby for it.

That's pretty awesome! You didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn and you still had only 15-20 minute waits? How did you manage that???

I saw some people from here while I was there but I was too shy to say anything. There were two women that had the lime green Mickey heads. One had them attached to a black waist pack, and the other woman looked like they had a plastic one.

Well, we used the EMH at night at to do somethings. I think that it helped a lot that it rained, it kept many people away. We just used the FP's.

Wow! That sounds great!! Some other postings have said HUGE crowds, HUGE lines - but it sounds like you managed and had a great time! Sometimes I think it's all about your own prespective. I like reading about the "positive" stuff!

Thanks for your posting!

20 days to POP!!!!

Should we go to Extra Evening Hours at MK?

 

[CinderellaPug]

do...but don't expect to walk on anything except pirates.

Well that's a relief....From the comments of all the other Disers I was getting kinda worried.

I know crowds, went last July. I know that this years crowds are bigger but how much bigger?? Big enough that I notice?

If you did all that you said you did, then sounds like last years crowds to me. But just on the safe side, I will expect the worst and hope that I can be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for posting.

There were massive crowds, especially the closer to the Fourth of July. But I had read the UG and kinda planned that way. I knew what times to hit what for some things. FOr other things we planned FPs for. I would do the EMH at night at MK because of the amount of things that are open and running. It also helped that it rained every day, so take that into consideration as well. For our EMH it was rainy and had been raining for a while. But we still got good seats for Wishes and could have had great seats for Spectro had we wanted to see it. But it's not like we were alone there were many other people. Space Mountain had quite a wait to it and Splash wasnt even running.
