Week before Memorial Day??

[jennih]

We will be in Disney the week before Memorial Day. I am trying to decide which days to go to the parks. Can anyone tell me how the crowds are? I am assuming that Friday and Saturday will be the worst days-so which parks should we attempt on those days? Thanks in advance for the help!!

We did that week a couple years ago and found that the crowd was steady but not overwhelming until the end of the week. Yes, there were lines, but it was not like in the summertime. It seemed the crowd steadily increased over the week. I would suggest going to UG's website touringplans.com and checking his "best days" calendar for suggestions of which parks on which days.

Anyone else with any advice?

Our last two trips have been that same week. Last year and 2003. Crowds were low. We never waited over 20 minutes for anything. Many schools are not out yet at that time. Last year that week was all 4's and 5's on a 1 - 10 scale. This year they are up to 7's and 8's. This year we are going Memorial Day week and plan to do the parks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We always try to avoid the week-ends. Hope your week is great and then maybe ours will be to.

Thanks sammielynn-that helped me breathe a huge sigh of relief. I was surprised with the 8's and 9's predicted since the schools don't usually let out until the next week. Has anyone had any luck using Touring Plans best and worst parks advise or should we just do what works best for us?

I am going to arrive in Orlando on May 24 and will be staying until June 2. We are going for a wedding in Disney and staying at the Carribean Beach Resort. I can't wait! My bf is going nuts with me talking about it. I was there last in 96 & 97 when i was in middle school. He was there i think one of those years also. Where are you going to be staying?

We are staying in the Wilderness Villas-I haven't stayed there before so it will be a first!

When we were there years ago we stayed in All Star Music and Dixie Landings. I am sooooo excited!
