Question about crowds during F&W

[delgrec]

Touring Plans just updated their crowd tracker. It is now listing Epcot as park to avoid with 9.8 on the two afternoons we were planning on being there. My question is this...Do you think that Future World would feel like a 9.8 or just World Showcase? We will want to sample some of the foods and walk around but I am less concerned about the crowds while doing that then the lines to rides. I can't figure out a better plan for our itinerary though based on when we are doing MVMCP. Also, 5 out of the 6 days we will be there Epcot is the "park to avoid" anyway. Thoughts? Experiences? TIA! Oh, we are going 11/8 - 11/13 so Jersey Week and last week of F&W.

Having been to F&W last year the first two weeks of oct I can tell you that it does get crowded around WS because of that.

If you plan to be there early to get in rides in Furture world fast pass etc you will not notice the crowds so much later in the day as it tends to be a gradual build up.

We did not have a problem though and found that if we left epcot before late afternoon its not too bad at all. Lines tend to move fast at the booths and we managed to find a table/space to eat our food all the time.

Grab a map of all the booths first so you have a rough idea of what you really want to try (normally posted on all ears and sites like this once the F&W has started) Get those done first and then you won't be so worried about those.

We have a trip coming up this october and one of our main reasons is to go to F&W.

Thanks. Our problem is that we only have 2 afternoons scheduled. I don't think we will make it there early on any day.
