We are thinking of going next year over MLK weekend. For those who were there last weekend, how were the crowds? If you could compare them to another time of year you have gone, that would be a great help.
Thanks
 
We were there last weekend. During the week, the parks were great. Not too crowded at all. Saturday we went to Sea World and Sunday went to EPCOT. The crowds on Sunday were at least 3 times bigger than the weekday crowds, plus there was a huge kid's religious youth group touring that day. Someone on the monorail told me they had gone to MK on Saturday and it was mobbed.
 
We were there 1/11 to 1/17 and I didn't think the crowds were bad at all. Then again, I compare WDW crowds to Spring Break/Easter, Christmas and summer trips that we have taken. We were at MK on Thursday 1/12 an Saturday 1/14 . Thursday the crowds were quite low and we got on each ride that we wanted to a few times, with minimal waits. Saturday it was more crowded than Thursday, but not even close to as crowded as when we went this past August 21-27. It was comparable to our trip last Feb 6-13 and April 2005 after Spring Break. Saturday we still were able to ride everything we wanted to get on. Our longest wait was at Splash Mountain and that had a 20 minute wait that was slightly longer because the ride broke. We were at MGM on MLK day and again, I would say it was far less crowded than in August or last February (when a cheerleading competition was going on). The only large groups we saw were a few tour groups at MK each day, and they were all well behaved (I had read several reviews about tour guides wiping out fast pass machines, yelling, etc. and nothing like that occurred).
