Park opening crowds?

[surgefest]

i know i keep reading its best to get to the parks before opening and do as much as possible then.. how quickly do the parks fill up during weekdays??? and on Magical morning days.. after that first hour when the park opens to everyone else how long until wait times start to shoot up?? Thanks for any info!

I usually go off season, and my experience is on weekdays, it is pretty dead until around 10:30-11:00 am. Then you see the park filling up and the hoards heading in down Main St.

We just returned and the crowds were large during spring break. You could make it on most rides with a 0-15 min. wait until about 10 then the lines really picked up by noon fast passes were going fast! Getting up early is definately the way to go!

When we went on spring break last year, I was dismayed at first when I saw the long lines of people waiting to get in for MM. It was a very busy time of year. But still, once the gates open and those people spread out, it was still pretty quiet. At least compared to 2 hours later. By 11 a.m. it was quite jammed.

Another good reason to use Ridemax. We used it in July and got to ride everything (except Nemo)!!!

Totally agree
when we are over there .. we always make sure were up early to drive down from hollywood area and be at the gates before they are open

I have heard of this before but what exactly is it and how does it work? I've never been quite sure.
