Just got back! Anyone leaving this week...good luck!

Just got back late last night. We were there from November 15-22nd. When the bell hop came to pick our luggage up yesterday he mentioned that 800 guests were checking in that day (we stayed at CBR). We headed over to Magic Kindgom and boy can you tell the crowds have picked up. It was PACKED! The whole week there was no wait times or a very small wait time for rides. Not yesterday...40 minutes or longer. Good luck to anyone leaving this week!

Saturday's at MK are packed ! I imagine next Sat will be worse!
We were at CBR last month and loved it(and had the parks to ourselves!). We were in Jamaica. Where were you? Did you like it too? We will be at AKL this Wed. but have decided on very little park time and lots of Lodge "down" time. We have SP's and go a lot, so this will work well I think. Even the kids agree!

I arrive the 28th. I'm staying out of the MK until Monday the 1st.
I know that will be hard because Mk and O'hana is usually first day must do's for me. Susan

I've heard that Saturday's at Magic Kingdom are packed but this was nothing like it was on Saturday, November 15th (the day we arrived). Even the resort seemed packed by 5pm. Thought maybe the crowds for Thanksgiving were arriving. I actually requested Jamaice but didn't get it. We stayed in Jamaica back in 1996 and really like it. We got Martinique (not sure how to spell it?) this time and I was actually very happy with it. I like this resort a lot but I'm not sure how I like the food court yet...jury is still out on this one!

Yes, I think the resorts are pretty much sold out starting Wed. Though I played around and tried online yesterday at the 5 mark point and more were opened up then previously.
We liked the foodcourt at CBR, but I think POR had more choices and might be a bit better. But we still plan to go there again next spring. We have yet to stay at a resort we did not like!

We also just got back from being there 11/15 - 23 and we noticed the crowds starting to pick up on friday. We had such a GREAT week with very few lines and waits...great time to go!!
