No advice. Just thought I'd bump this up as we had to change to Pres week this year too. I'm nervous about the crowds.

BTW, we will be at Chef Mickeys for dinner on the 11th also. Wear a lime green ribbon and maybe we can meet.

We went over President's week in 2001. The crowds were not that bad, very few states have that week off. At one event I remember the MC stating "Is there anyone here that's NOT from Massachusetts?". The only bad days in terms of crowds I recall was the Sunday of President's weekend. We went to MGM and it was packed, but we still got to enjoy everything using fastpass. The weather was good, although it was still a little too chilly to swim once the sun went down.

I'll be there that week also. You've really done your homework! Where's the character bfst at Epcot and what characters are usually there?
