Mid-week crowds

[Skippy24]

I was just wondering how midweek crowds have been?
I'm going this week and I'm just wondering what to expect. Thanks!

The last two years we have gone early in March. The park is less crowded Tues and Wed. At least that's what I've noticed. Seems people take long weekends and the parks are busier those other days.

Last week we found mid-week crowds to be wonderfully light BUT every ride that can run low capacity was like 1 star tours sim, only 1 side of most rides, and less cm's at the rides like dumbo where it takes twice as long to check seat belts with less cm's. We also ran into the fact that mid-week they were only running fast pass on a few rides and even with those rides you weren't gaining much time advantage because the 2 lines were merged together pretty quickly--again I think this was a capacity issue though. We were able to ride toy story about 8 times in the first hour the park was open though Pan and Matterhorn though were backed up within the first 20 minutes or so of park opening though.

we were there last Wednesday, the 28th I think, and crowds were very light. Space mountain was a 5 min wait in midafternoon as was Thunder mountain and splash. Alot of the fast moving rides were walk ons. The slower loading rides like Dumbo had about a 20 min in the afternoon but we had already done them in the morning. I think Dumbo and Autopia were the longest lines we saw and those were 20 mins. It was wonderful weather as well! I am sure you will have a great time.

We were also there last Wed. ans as PP said, the lines were short. We were also there on Friday and it was really crowded-many school districts were off last Friday. My DD9 was off track in Jan. and we went at least once a week in Jan. Basically, mid-week was great! Crowds were low and weather was mostly good.

Have fun!

Just wondering if in general are Fridays busy?

Great! Thanks for the info!

On top of the crowds being thin during the week there is rain in the forecast, so that will make it even less crowded.

Just wondering if in general are Fridays busy?

yes, they are busier than Tu-Th. The park is open a few hours longer plus some locals have Fridays off. You will see an increase in attendance as the day goes on. Espeically after schools/work get out. But, still Friday is usually better than Sat. or Sun. Last Friday was a freak occurence with so many schools closed.

Just a quick update that crowds were great! We got on everything that we wanted to. Except the rides that were closed of course and it didn't start raining until about 1:30.
