Quick question about crowds!?!?!

[emokid9963]

Im going to Epcot on wednesday with my gf. And I wanna know how bad do you think the crowds will be? And will I need to brace myself for the brazillians? I dont know if they are there or not but Ive been hearing multiple things! I just hope things arent crazy becasue its cold, and everyone in Florida is back in school so I hope the crowds are not so bad.

The crowds are usually not too bad in January with the exception of MLK weekend but that's toward the end of the month. You can avoid the tour groups by watching for their bright flags. When you see them, head in the other direction! Have a blast!

anyone else have any other input??

I went the first week of Jan a few years ago and the place was dead! I hope it's like that for you too.

The overall crowds will probably be fine.

Worrying about Brazilian tour groups is kind of ridiculous. They may be there, or they may not be.

When I was there last year during this time period, I don't remember seeing any an Epcot though, the entire time we were there. (I remember them specifically at Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom, and have a vague recollection of them at the Animal Kingdom, but none at Epcot) That's just my own perception talking though.

If you want to make sure that you have really short lines, then plan on getting to the park at opening. You'll be able to do most of the major attractions really quickly, and then you can just hang out in the World Showcase, Innoventions or wherever for the rest of the day.

yeah we are planning on getting there like 10-30 mins before opening so I think we will be fine
