We were there Sunday-Friday before Memorial Day. We found the crowds pretty good Sunday-Thursday. Magic Kingdom was very crowded on Friday.

Sunday-Thursday we had no waits longer than 15-20 minutes.

It was hot though. Get a mister fan.

I have been the past 2 years that week and it has been great. The first year the weather was awesome and very comfortable. The crowds were light until the Friday going into Memorial Day weekend. Last year we made sure we left on that Friday and it worked out great. If you are staying for a week, I suggest leaving the weekend before and return that Friday. It was a good bit hotter last year than the year before, but nothing unbearable. I can't wait to go next May!!!

I was there May 22-25 this year, and it was 90+ degrees!!! Epcot was not crowded at all, neither was MGM. We did early entry on the 23rd and it was okay until about 11:30--but manageable. It depends on who you ask when they say it's "crowded"; To me, crowded is when there are so many people at MK they have to close the park to outside guests. Now that's crowded!!! Trust me, when you've seen that many people in one place, you never complain about crowds again! Seriously though, the week was great ( except for the unusual heat ) but low humidity.

We were there the entire week before Memorial Day and with it being our first time, I don't really know how to compare it. But, in my opinion it wasn't too bad. Early morning was great. You can do so much in the first hour of park openings, around 11 every day MK had longer waits. A cm at our resort said this year was way more crowded than previous years at the same time. But, I found it very managable!

:thewave: I think we will be ok....We do plan on leaving that Sat morning....We may spend Friday as a resort day....
I am not too worried......
I was in MK on Halloween night for the MNSSHP and that was pretty packed.... I am already excited......Long wait though...

Thanks for your advice....
