As of this past Sunday, no. Saw a Brazilian group in Epcot and some sort of cheerleading? softball? Idk groups of girls all over MK.

Saw them last week as well. Not at our hotel but in the parks. We just went the other way and had no problem.

Last year we did a band trip last week of Feb. We saw no groups of any kind.

And just so you know we didn't travel in packs or sing or chant in lines, in fact the largest group that toured together was with me and it maxed out at 10. Which was about a fourth of the total group. Though we did wear matching shirts.

Yes we are small band only 42 kids went with an overall total of 52.

There were big tour groups from Brazil, Argentina, and Chile there from last Wednesday to at least this past Monday. There was also the National Dance Team Competition going on over the weekend as well, so those teams were touring the parks as well.

There were a lot of groups there, I was surprised.

Thanks for the heads up. This is our first time going this time of year, so I really don't know what to expect.

We just got back yesterday. They were in every park we went to.
went to US/IOA on Monday where the girls attacked the van with Shagy and Scooby Doo. They jumped on the hood, pounded on the windows and would not let the van move. Other than that they were not too bad.

p.s when the cast member saw the group coming towards them she told the characters to "hurry up! get to the van"....

Last Thursday (Feb. 3) we arrived at DHS a few minutes after 9:00 am. We went through the turnstiles and saw a few hundred young people with tour groups, just standing around. I guess they were getting ready for their assault on the park. We had trouble getting through them, but did break past their blockade with some difficulty. To be honest, we went the other way, when we saw them later that morning and had no trouble with them. I don't think they had gotten wound up yet. We left the park before noon.

No tour groups yesterday at DHS or DTD and none today at MK or Epcot but cheerleaders are everywhere.
