Hello, it may be in another tread, if so, please tell me.

How have you found the crowds this week? we're leaving on dec 8. I guess I just need reassurance crowd level is ok :thumbsup2

Thanks!
 
Monday through Thursday (Nov 27 thru 30)............walk on most, 20 minutes for most popular rides, 40 minutes for Soarin. Friday Dec 1 the crowds showed up (30 plus minute waits on most, 45 on more popular rides, hour plus for soarin). I suspect that pattern will be repeated the next few weeks.

Thx! 45 min on popular rides doesn't sound too bad either... only soarin... thanks for your input!

My sister was visiting last week and was in the parks every day (sadly I had to work except Mon and Friday afternoon!!!) but this was her observation as well.

It appears that the weekends are pretty crowded but during the week is very slow. Because of this, I am planning on altering my touring plans somewhat. I have an ADR at CRT early on Sat the 9th and so I will go and tour until at least lunchtime and then evaluate whether to go to another park in the PM or just rest at the hotel. If we do stay at MK, we will most likely just see shows in the afternoon and not worry about rides. We will be back on 12/12 which will probably be deserted.
 
We were there 11/24-12/3. It was so slow except for the friday and saturday. We walked on almost all the rides. Longest wait was 10 minutes the whole week. We actually won dream fast passes 2 days in a row and never even got to use them because there was never a wait for anything so no need for a fast pass. My kids wanted to use them in the worst way, they were so excited to win them.
 
We are currently in the World and crowds are OK. We've been able to do standby for most attractions and the crowd levels are not out of control. We noticed today (12/4) that as the day went on, more cheerleaders and players from Pop Warner found their way to the parks... It seems to be a great time to be here.
 
Just back (2 hours ago!) and the crowds during the week last week were non-existent. In MK, we did Pirates, Thunder Mountain and Buzz over and over with no wait. Actually, I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes at any attraction in any park except for Soarin which was always a 40-50 minute wait. Saturday was a different story - it was insane. We got fast passes for Buzz right before we were scheduled to leave and even with the fp, it was a 20 minute wait to get on - we gave up because we had to go :sad2: Have fun!!!
 
It's great hearing that crowds are low. I'm leaving on the 8th too. I have a saturday planned at Mk (the 16th) with CRT dinner. I know that its going to get crowded but its our last day and we have to be at MK.
 
Try to stick to the weekdays (Mon-Thurs) and avoid Fri-Sat-Sun!!! We experienced heavy crowds in all parks, which we visited Thursday nite, Friday, Saturday. If I had to do it over again I would've done the weekdays only and left on Friday. We were really disappointed to see such big crowds during what was supposed to be a quiet time of year.
 
Absolutely a great time to go for us. We really had no crowds. On Tuesday at MK, they didn't even run fastpasses for some of the rides because there just wasn't any wait.
