[Violetx3]

I apologize if this has already has been posted, but I was interested to see the UG's updated Best Days calendar. Looks like bigger crowds in general this year.

Yep, I am very sad!!
My numbers went from 5's to 6,7,and 8's!!

Hehehe... it's funny to note the most of the days we're there I've chosen to go to the parks that the UG says to avoid. But, we've always done it this way and never had a problem.

Thanks for the update!
I am going back in Decmebr asnd the numebrs are between a 1 to 3. YAY

 

[Bella2000]

from 3 to 7 (sigh)

Thanks for the heads up! Wow, some big numbers on some of those days! Our trip (May 11-16) has all 3's...I hope that holds true!! That would be about the same crowd level that most of our Feb. trip was, so that would be better than I had anticipated for our May trip actually. Interesting.

Lots of my days went from 5s to 6-8s, too.

 

[QuickGold]

My days stayed the same

 

[newholidayx2]

I believe mine stayed the same
our arrival day is a 7 but we arent going into the parks that day
when we do go into the parks we have (5) 6s and (6) 5s

My week was all 2's. Now it's 3-6, day by day. Argh.

I wouldn't worry about the increase in crowd levels too too much. Recall that for waiting in line, having a touring plan is about five times as important as choosing the right day of week.

And even then, c'mon, it's Walt Disney World. It's like when I tell my wife I've got to go there for work. I can't even get to the "for work" part without laughing. She's a patient woman, I tell ya.

Mine are all 8s and 9s. I guess thats what we should expect going during the 4th. Mimimom

 

[Cindyzgoingtodizny]

UGH - ALL 8's!

She MUST be!

Ugh! Ours went up from a 3 to a 7 because of the celebration. That's not even why we are going! Just our luck...I'm sure we will have a great time anyway!

Thanks for posting the update. I had just checked updates a couple of days ago, but I was too soon for these. I had already figured out which park on which days, got our PSs based on this etc. NOW it says all the parks that were best should now be avoided, and the crowd levels jumped from 3-4s to 5-7s. Yikes! I think I will just leave my itenerary the way it is - or not. SO confused, my head hurts.

Saw a few jumps here and now some of my PS's and plans are in parks they say to avoid those days.. oh well! I like my plans and feel like I am lucky to be travelling alone because then I am the only one in my group who could get upset at the crowd, and why would I do that? hehe
I also must be "not right" in that sometimes I like the longer line because you get to pause and take in the magic as opposed to rushing from attraction to attraction.

Thanks for posting the update! It is very interesting to see the patterns.

Ours stayed the same (3) but the weeks before and after are higher than ours.

 

[EthansMom]

Our trip in a week had 3s when I checked a couple days ago. Now, we have 5s.

Well, at least I have a plan and have PS's for lunch almost every day. I'm just glad that I won't be one of those fools standing around saying, "Well, what should we do next?" or "Where do you want to eat lunch?"

The crowd levels have jumped considerably for the first week in May when we will be there. Why hasn't Disney adjusted park hours? The last two weeks in April are predicted to have lower crowd levels and yet Disney has extended park hours during these weeks. Does Disney know something we don't? Are the parks not going to be as crowded as Len has predicted? We usually travel to Disney in September, I was just hoping for lower crowd levels when we booked. We'll have fun not matter what. Just hoping the crowds are being overstated somewhat.
