How were the crowds from Sat. April 8th through today?

What Parks were the most crowded on which days? Thanks!

Check out touringplans.com. There is a blog for the best days at which parks. It is a projection based on historical data (non-Disney). We went last May and I followed their suggestions. It worked out well for us.

Thanks OttawaMom! I do check Touringplans regularly, and with all the 10s, I was just wondering if it was really that jam packed. We were there Easter week in 2000 and it was crazy, so I was just curious if it's still a solid 10. Thanks again for the reply.

I went to AK yesterday, Thursday 4-13-06, and it was VERY, VERY, crowded. I was with my son's 5th grade class, field trip. There were at least 4 other schools also there for field trips. Between the students, spring break people, and people who were just there, it was horrible. 4 attractions in 7 hours.

My daughter works part time at MGM and she says it was really crowded Sunday and Tuesday. The Cast members have "black out" for the week before and week after Easter.

It is still ok IF you go early then leave the park around noon.

We were there Sat. April 8 through yesterday, 4/13. Every park was crowded every day!! It was all managable if you got to the park of choice at opening. MK was open every morning at 7 a.m., so you could pretty much get all of Fantasyland done in an hour. It was so worth it to get up early. By noon, there was an hour standby wait on almost every main attraction.

I agree, we were able to get alot done today at Ak by noon. Very crowded after that. E:E fastpasses were gone by 2:00pm

We were there last year, and we had the same experiences. Every park very crowded and MK open every day at 7 AM (and closed at midnight -- and on Extra evening hours night, it was 3 AM). But, we learned from these boards to hit the parks early, and it was very sound advise! Also used Fastpasses, although we were surprised on our 1st day at Epcot how quickly they were gone -- remember one, it was either TT or MS, was gone by 11ish. So, the next time, we got smarter and sent one person to get fastpasses while the other stayed with kids and strolled.

Have a great time!
