MLK Question

[jmw33]

We are booked on a Disney Cruise in January 2015. The cruise leaves on Sunday of MLK weekend. We cannot fly down to Orlando the day of since we are from Phila and weather could be bad. We were thinking of flying down Thursday night and doing 2 full days in the parks (Friday and Saturday). Josh had MK as a recommended day on Friday and Epcot has most recommended on Saturday for 2014 which is the 2 parks we would want to go to. So my question is...how bad are crowds those 2 days? I will need to spend almost $800 for my family for 2 day passes which I don't mind doing if we will be able to get a good bit in. We are not normally rope drop people but would be for these 2 days. Would it be worth it?? Or are MLK weekend crowds unbearable? Sorry for the long post but I appreciate all advice!

It'll be a little more crowded than other January weekends (other than New Year's weekend), but nowhere near unbearable. I definitely would go!

Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to hear!!

We were there this past MLK week, but didn't go in the parks Fri or Sat. We heard horror stories of waits on Sat (mostly MK). We went to Epcot Sun and while recommended it was quite crowded (although, we aren't regulars so it may not have been crowded to others).
