So how busy was it this week....really....

[momofgrace06]

We just got back and we felt it was crowded, but totally manageable. I was actually prepared for worse. For those who went this week and have been before, how would you gauge it? Was it really fairly busy? Will we be pleasantly surprised when we go again during a more "off" time? Thanks!!!

We went on Monday and it was great! it wasnt busy at all. we are going tonight. it may be a different story...

Thanks! That helps me - if Monday was not really busy, then we had better not go when it is busy!! I thought Monday was a bit crowded - I guess one hour waits on Fantasyland attractions is the norm these days! I hadn't been in over 20 years, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thanks...we'll be sure to stick to weekdays in more "off" times - my hubby and my 3 year old can't handle huge crowds! I on the other hand don't mind it.

I guess one hour waits on Fantasyland attractions is the norm these days!

Fantasyland rides always have some of the longest lines. We've walked onto Space, BTMRR, Spash etc. and still saw huge lines in Fantasyland.

THURSDAY - We opened and closed the park. Haven't done that in a while. It was busy, but not as busy as I expected. I imagine today being Friday, we will start to see the larger crowds.

We didn't wait in many lines, mostly used FP and got in smaller lines. At 2:00 return times for Indy and Soarin were for 7:00PM.

We had a good Disney day yesterday, which was nice since we were taking an 18 y/o who had never been. She got on a ton of rides in both parks.

We went yesterday , Thursday, and it was totally NOT BUSY! So great. It was one of those rare Dl trips that just flowed perfectly. We arrived late, around 730 pm. Ate at RDZ which was especially good that evening. and then rode:
HM,BTMRR,POTC watched fireworks and MTRB. So, not a lot of rides but we knew we would only be there for a few hours. Getting in was easy getting out was easy. Lots of room to walk and stroll and take our time. Being AP's , we have the luxury of going when we want and not having to feel like we need to ride every ride. We usually stay in NOS anyways. Oh we did slow dance to " When you wish upon a star" in the castle by the enchanted gift shop(?).
Dfi is romantic that way.
One funny thing, on Pirates, one of the couples that chase each other, was stopped because her head had apparently fallen off... or was missing or something. Great night.
Since we are blocked out for a few weeks, we wont be back until the 20th for our meeting with our Disney Fantasy Wedding wedding Planner
Have a great day everyone!
Oh also, I did wear my lgmh but didnt see anyone.... oh well next time!
