The crowds on Memorial day weekend?

[EasyGoing*]

I know it will be stuffed with people,but is it like you cant do anything are is it not that bad? If anyone has been down there on these dates please let me know how it is. Is the weather good at this time of the month?

We were there last year and the weather was in the 80s and humid. Although, being from WI we were thrilled to have this type of weather in May. It was crowded - about a 8 or 9 on a scale of 1-10. These crowds started on the Thrus before and went straight through the weekend. It appeared to be more crowded as the day went on, so if you get there early you should be okay.

We were at WDW last May and the Friday before the Memorial Day week end was our last day. It was noticeably more crowded on that Friday. MGM was mobbed because of the Star Wars weekend and a CM told us that lots of locals show up on three-day weekends.
In spite of the crowd, it was still better then in August because of the low heat and humidity,relatively speaking.

I agree with D&DDisney, the crowds are very heavy Memorial Weekend and Memorial Day itself. Parks clear out a little starting on Tuesday. That said, we have gone to WDW 3 of the last 4 years during that weekend. We have just learned to go early and leave the parks midday to swim or whatever. So, even though it's hot and crowded, it hasn't kept us from coming back for more each year!

Enjoy your trip.

Memorial Day was the first day of our trip last year. We arrived at the MK around 4pm and it was not crowded at all! I think mabye people were leaving to go home that day if they just came for the long weekend!?!?

We will be there the 20th-30th. We have 1 "non" park day planned so we will stay at our hotel (WL) for Sunday. We've never been to WDW in crowds so this will be a new experience for us!
