So who is going this holiday weekend?

[hereforthechurros]

Why would people think this weekend will be busy? It’s probably the least busy holiday of the entire year typically. I have some pictures of the place of Labor Day pre-Covid that look like Covid.

Maybe most of the park reservation buckets are filled? With no FP + lines spaced out into walkways, limited dining, and extremely limited transportation capacity things can quickly feel busy and uncomfortable.

I wouldn't say "busy" in. a normal sense...I would say busy in a post covid sense.... I do think that the resorts and parks do feel more stressed on crowded days due to the fact that everything is not open, restaurants are limited capacity, pools have a limit, buses...ect..ect. So this weekend will be the "busiest" weekend that Disney has seen in a long time with parks at covid capacity and resorts sold out.

Going to be at HS Fri and Epcot Sat, not looking forward to Fri

Because this is the first time all 3 buckets of park reservations are filled

It's going to be busy for covid times. Then you add half ride capacity and you're going to see some long wait times

The news thread has an article that shows 4 Orlando area cities in the top 5 of hotel bookings for Labor Day weekend this year...Bay Lake, Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista and Orlando. So I am expecting the largest crowd they have seen since reopening. We will be arriving Saturday and staying at OKW until the following Sunday. Crowd or no, fastpass or no, mask or no I couldn't care less...I just can't wait to get back.

Contemplating going to to LEGOLAND (passes) and maybe Volcano Bay. May not, but I am really leaning toward it.

Originally we had planned on going but moved our trip to the 9th. The crowds should be gone by then which is why we changed. We are flying down on Sunday but spending a few days at a beach house. Then on to WDW on Wednesday.

Arriving Sunday and doing Epcot, then AK, MK, HS and then Epcot again. I’m hoping I picked the right days to visit each park!

Originally we were going to try to go Thursday and Friday...but switched to Sunday thu Tuesday and was able to book Epcot for Sunday...staying at Yacht Club for the pool and only reason I booked Epcot was so that my wife and I can get an orange slush in France!! Most of the time will be spent at SAB just chilling and getting our adult beverage on!!

I am going to drive over Saturday morning to AK. Going to be there at opening so I am hoping others choose to sleep in & come later.

Been to the other 3 parks since re-opening so I'll be curious how this is.

We are staying at Caribbean Beach Resort 3 nights starting tonight. Going to do EPCOT on Saturday, HS on Sunday, and AK on Monday. So excited to be going back, this will be our first visit post-COVID. We were there the last weekend before they shut things down in March.... That was an awesome experience, crowds were really low at that time.

Perhaps it's the fact that Central Florida is expecting an unprecedented surge of tourists when compared to Labor Day's of the past

since we already are in the weekend, any reports please direct them to the just back thread, that way we don't have 2 threads with the same topic.
