Now I'm nervous about ESPN weekend, has anyone been, how are the crowds?

[YesI'mObsessed]

Ok, so now I've switched my trip to the first week of March, the 5-11th. I don't DO crowds. So now I see ESPN weekend is the 3rd - 5th. Is there going to be a lot of extra people hangin out past the weekend? Is this a big event? Any input would be great. Thanks.

All I can say is that we turned up at MGM this last year on ESPN weekend, not knowing it was on and knowing nothing whatsoever about ESPN! (We're non sporty Brits!)
It didn't seem particularly busy to us, at least no more than we were expecting for a Saturday anyway. We walked straight on RnRC and didn't think queues were too bad later. We don't 'do' ToT! Muppets, GMR were all walk- ins. Eating was no problem - picked up a ressie for Prime Time and snack/coffees had hardly any queues.
I think many of the folk there were watching the ESPN entertainment, which looked interesting if you like that sort of thing.
Having said all that, we were there at opening and gone by 2, so later on the Saturday and Sunday may be busier.
