You know I don't think it's a put-down of WDW to say it was too crowded to have fun. Sometimes dodging other people and waiting in line will wear you down. My family just went to WDW last week, but we only spent one day at Epcot, and two days at Typhoon Lagoon. I was afraid to even try the MK, AK or MGM. But when we went to Epcot and Typhoon Lagoon we were there before opening to maximize our options on things to do. By afternoon we headed out. It made me wonder how anybody ever park hops during the busiest holidays. The fastpasses are all gone by afternoon, so you're just stuck with long lines. Two of our other days we went to Seaworld, because I'd heard they handle crowds better than WDW. When we went at opening we saw and did alot, but when we went in the afternoon all the shows were full by the time we got to them and getting through the crowds was exhausting. Unless it's the off-season, I think we'll stick with early morning touring, and afternoons at the pool.
