WDW Railway Stations

Not that this matters much but I thought I would ask your opinion. In the WDW Official Guide, it says that the least crowded WDW Railway Station at MK is at Mickey's Toontown. In the Unofficial Guide, it says that it is Main Street. What has been your experience?

Main St. in the morning, Frontierland and Toontown in the afternoon.

Is that true all the time, pilotmono? We've noted many instances in Toontown and Frontierland where the folks in the back of the line would have to wait more than one train to board. I don't recall seeing that on Main Street, but it seems to be not unusual in Toontown.

I have waited quite a few times in lines to board at the Main Street station.

I have also waited in large crowds to board in Toontown in the early evening.

Main Street station is crowded first thing in the morning (for about 5-10 minutes) and then at the end of each parade there is a parade rush, which brings a good size line. Other than that MS is the least crowded station (unless you are coming on a holiday then they are all crowded).

Frontierland starts to get busy around 12-1pm and stays fairly steady through the night.

TTF starts to get busy around 2-3pm and stays fairly busy throughout the night.

This also depends on how many trains we are running. If we have 2 trains it is 7 minutes between each and the line has a chance to build up. If we are running 3 trains it is 3 minutes between trains and the line moves a lot faster. During busy times (when high attendance is expected) we always run 3 trains to eleviate the issue.

In general (as I tell people at the station when they ask how long the wait is) the wait can be anywhere from 3 minutes to 15 minutes depending on how long the line is and how many trains are running. It is very rare that you would have to wait more than one train at any of the stations.

Thank you for clearing that up. The discrepancy was starting to bug me.
