How about an empty ride (except me ).

It was errie (bit very cool) being alone onthe ToT. I could REALLY hear the sound of the cable snapping and whipping around right before the drop.

This was about 11:30am the first week of december at MGM

Looks similar to how the park looked this past Sunday when I was there. There were certainly enough people at the front of the park but the crowds were divided substantially between the High School Musical Show by the hat and the Jedi Training Academy that the area directly inbetween was completely vacant. I took a picture, just need to upload it.

Wow, I haven't been lurking on the boards in ages, but I LOVE this thread! A few questions - I teach as well, do all districts allow you to take some days off without pay? I'd love to go down during off times (it's been ages since I've been able to do that). I think we've been down every month of the year and late November/earlyDecember has been the best for us because you get the bonus of the Xmas decorations. Also, what the heck is the "free dining" I keep seeing? Never heard of that one. Anyway, it's good to be back and keep those great photos coming!

OH my gosh, this would be the absolute coolest thing ever

Free dining is the Disney Dining plan thrown in free with 3 or more days booked onsite at a Disney Resort. It has been offered last 3 or so years for the end of August and most of September, generally the slow season. We have taken advantage of it for the last two years and booked the bounce back during our stay last September. It is no certain that they will offer it again, but why wouldn't they if it brings more people to park during normally a slow time! They generally will announce it around the beginning of April. We love it because you get to try so many different restaurants and the lines for the attractions are still pretty good. The only busy time we have experienced is during the Labor day weekend, but after that we have had many days where we just walk on rides with no wait! Anyway, keep posted to see if they are going to offer free dining this year.

Oh, thanks Big Kid, that IS a cool plan. I'll have to pay attention and see if I can get down in August.

Thank you UP Disney for the great pictures. I used the picture of the empty Frontier Land for my desk top. Frontier Land is to me the best part of all the Disney parks.

Love the empty park pics, I'm going to hunt some of mine up!

Wait! I need the scoop on this pic! What time of the day was it taken!? Why is no one on the ride! Where is everyone!?

I have not been on this thread in a LONG time! I will tell you why! My last 2 Disney trips were right after Thanksgiving 2006 and 2007 (add 2005 in there too!) YUK! To busy for my liking! No empty park pics from those trips!

Now my trip in Sept 06! Those pics were nice and empty!! I will not be making any more trips to Disney right after Thanksgiving for a long while!

That was a rarity. Hence why I bought the photo.
This was shortly before Halloween. DH was running in the ToT 13k race that started at 9:30 pm.
I paid $25 to be in MGM after hours. Almost everyone was running. Anyone like me was pretty much alone in the park. I was it on ToT for that one ride. Another ride I was with two others.
I also snapped several photos in the library since no one was around. The CM gave me a semi-mini tour.
There was not much going on. So glad I had this to make the $25 worthwhile.
It was very unsettling being on the ride by myself. I just kept feeling like someone was going to tap me on my shoulder.
