Well we arrived late on Wednesday and hit the ground running yesterday morning. We are staying at the Marriott, so we had to wait until 10:00am to enter any lands within DLP. Crowds have been kight. We walked onto Buzz, Autotopia, Space Mountain...and did Buzz several times before stopping for lunch. even later in the day there were no crowds for Pirates, Small World, the kiddie area, BTM had a 15 minute wait, but that was our longest all day! The weather was cloudy most of the day and rained in the afternoon, but it wasn't enough to end our fun. We worked our way around the lands and went on every ride!!! The kids and DH and I had a blast. We ended our day at the Rainforest Cafe....a bit expensive I thought at 15.50 Euro for a kids meal! YIKES!!! With the exchange rate to the U.S. dollar, we made certain the kids ate their meal!!
I thought today may have been more crowded, and it was a bit, but not terrible. We stared our day at BTM and ride that 2x (thanks to the baby swap!), Then worked our way around the land hitting the kids' favorites one more time, There were no queues again to day and the weather held out until late in the afternoon. We headed over to the studios in the afternoon and had our longest queue waiting for Crushes' Coaster (about 45 minutes). We used the babyswap again for this...which worked out great for my older son who got to ride again with DH.
I am not certain what we will do tomorrow. DH wants to head to the aquarium. But the chidren and I want to head back to DLP. we'll figure it out tonight after the kids go to bed. Tomorrow is our last day, and we will head home to elgium in the afternoon.
Regarding the babyswap, be certain to get a ticket from a CM when you enter the ride stating how many people are going to wait by the exit and swap out. At Crushes Coaster I did not have one, but a very nice CM let DH and DS on anyway (he saw me coming out). The CM said they have many people linger near the exit and say they are baby swapping when they actually aren't.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

PS - I will try to post some pictures when we get home...that is if I can figure out how to!

glad you're having a good time. Enjoy the rest of your time there. 
Enjoy the rest of your stay
There were queues for everything! I am so happy we had Thursday and Friday when we could walk onto rides with little to no wait. We only went on BTM and Buzz before we had a fun lunch at Casey's and then headed home. There was a large que for Small World...and that told us it was time to go.
I didn't notice the smoke too much earlier on our trip, but today with the crowds, it was much more evident and annoying. People don't bother to look where they are flicking their smokes either...more than once I had to fan the ashes way from hitting DS in his stoller.
