I know the crowds are bad, let's not get that part twisted. I think we could all agree that we would be happy to see longer waits and less bodies in the parks, but the more I hear about this, the more I reflect on my last two trips and really think about how bad the crowds were...
Second to last time I went was for New Years Eve 2014 (12/31/13). Crowds were AWFUL...it was a sea of people every-fricken-where! I made a mental note to never, ever, ever going during the holidays again. Yes the park is decorated nicely, yes there's a holiday spirit in the air, but with that, there were so many people, I didn't even know what to do with myself...Magic Kingdom reached capacity on NYE near 10am. It was crazy.
But then I think of the last time I went, July 2016, and while it was still busy, I didn't feel as crammed or rushed or overwhelmed as I did that last time during the holidays. I couldn't tell if it was just my imagination or reality, but I didn't feel like the crowds were all that bad...
Is this because the holiday is a specific time where a lot of people have time off, versus the summer where kids are on break but not as big of a rush is coming all at the same time and the reservations are more spread out? What do you guys think?
I think the days are gone of Disney ever being "slow" (if it ever was) again, but I just kinda wanted to see your thoughts and opinions on crowd levels. Sometimes I think it's slightly sensationalized.
