Stage-3 Capacity at MK

[delmar411]

We stayed out of the parks all day today, and watched the fireworks from our room at the Grand, which was wonderful! What we found amazing was how low the crowds were afterwards! We went over to the MK around 10:30pm, entered on Main Street during the MEP, and were directed to the back pathway where they had a DJ set up and a dance party going on. The weird thing was there was hardly anybody there! Seriously, just a handful of people! We exited right in Tomorrowland where they had another dance party, Club 626, going. This one had a bit more people, but I was shocked by how empty it seemed! In 2.5 hours we were able to ride Space Mountain twice, sit and have a Le Fou's Brew at Gaston's, ride Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, Magic Carpets, TTA, and have a snack from Casey's while watching the Kiss Goodnight. The weather was wonderful! Not a drop of rain and nice and cool! I didn't know what to expect from our first experience with the 4th, but given the same plan, we all agree we'd do it again in a heartbeat!

We showed up around 7:30pm and other than major.conjestion on mainstreet and the hub, the rest of.the park was good to go. After the fireworks the place completely emptied out and we got tons of rides in. It wasnt even hot out so it was a super pleasant evening/night. Im really glad I decided to take the kids into the park.

You guys are giving me hope that my 4 day trip starting tomorrow isn't going to be super-crowded I'm prepared for level 9 crowds but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's like you're describing, especially in the later evening hours.

Reading everyones perceptions of their day shows how incredibly important a good plan and reasonable expectations are during high crowds. It can be done, but you have to be smart about it.
The people who zig when others are zagging are reporting having a great time
