Monday, Nov 10 crowds

[SHB]

My children and I will be at WDW on this day. Just wondering if anyone can give me a gestamation on how big the crowds might be next Monday.

We would like to try and hit the high points of each park if possible. We are very flexible. I thought we might start out at EPCOT do Mission and TT. Then head catch the boat to MGM ride RnR and TOT. Catch the bus to AK, see Lion King, Dinosaur. Catch the bus again to MK to ride what we can and see Wishes. I know this is a little crazy but I am trying to get max rides in min time.

Thanks is advance

FYI-November 11 is a Tuesday this year---do you mean Monday the 10th ?

Yes, I mean the 10th. I just edited my post.

Thanks

We were there that week last year and the fact that I don't have any memory of crowd issues tells me that there wasn't much of one. New Jersey week just ended as did Super Soap weekend and even Sat. & Sun. weren't too bad. We didn't use Fast Pass at MGM all day Sat., it was the record breaking heat that sent us packing to the Dolphin pool early on Sun. The rest of our week, Mon. through Sat. had light crowds, so I wouldn't worry too much.

As for your Park Hopping plan, I'd start at whichever park had EE that day, AK isn't it? You could do Dinosaur early but would have to wait for the show. Personally, I've found multiple 'hops' to eat up too much time, but I wish you well.

I know the 8th graders from DS's school will be at Epcot all day that Monday. I guess there are about 300 of them? DS is not in 8th grade yet, so I don't know all the details. I imagine they will get there close to 9am from what I read.

why not do MK and Epcot back to back so that you can use the Monorail. Wouldn't that save you some travelling time?

Cruisin',

We will probably do MK, EPCOT, MGM, then AK, try to get back to MK for Wishes.

Thanks

Hi,

I was there in September and my DD and I did a major hop day. We did it on a Sunday.

1st - AK We rode the River rapids, Dinosaur, Bugs Life

Took bus to TTC

(we skipped MGM but would have done it here, RRC was closed)

Took monorail to MK

We did Splash M, Tiki Birds, AE, HM, Pirates

Took monorail to Epcot.

We had plenty of time. I wish we had stayed longer at MK. Epcot was the least crowded. We should have ridden the bus to MGM just to say we did all 4 parks. We started at 9:30am and finished about 8:30pm. Time between parks was very minimum. (It was hot so I enjoyed sitting in a cool place for a few minutes) My only suggestions is to be sure to wear good shoes.....even with my New Balences my feet were sore by the end of the day! Walk some before you go.

First of all a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for sharing their experiences and advice for WDW. This site has been a wealth of information since I found it 2 weeks ago!!! Your enthusiasm has me pumped for our family trip to the MK Nov 10th---my first time @ 35!!!!

A couple of questions if I may...

I read in one of the guide books that a "bounce-back" pass may be available at the gate if you purchase a 1-day pass and they can't sell you a Park Hopper. Does the "bounce-back" still exist?

If we were to bounce back on Nov 11th this is Veterans Day...are schools out? Is this a day off work in FLA? Just worried about crowds.

After seeing the MK, which park should be visited next?

Thanks everyone.

Last I heard, bounce backs did exist-maybe $5 less per ticket. ??Both kids are out of school next Tuesday and DH is off work.
Enjoy your trip! We will be going back in a few weeks.
