What a difference...

[rlk]

A week makes. For anyone coming this week, it seems so much less crowded. We have been at WDW since 3/29 and the crowds were insane up until Friday, April 6. Today, April 8, it is actually pleasant to be at Magic Kingdom.

Definitely a difference!

Seems like there's a brief lull in crowd level before the last blast of spring break, this must be it!

Glad to hear this since I have a friend there now. I was hoping crowds would be better once the Easter rush was over

Figures. Can’t wait until my daughters school schedule doesn’t dictate every move I make...

Unfortunately, we leave tomorrow. We did get one day of relief.

I don't like hearing this, as that is the same week we are there.

I’m glad you got to enjoy some park time without massive crowds, that’s rare these days.

FOP had a wait of 150 mins posted but I doubt it was that long. Navi river said 60 minutes but I knew it wasn't 60 so I decided to get in line. It only took 25 mins.

That’s a gift — FOP WAS A CONSTANT 240 while we were there.

Yesterday, at The Plaza restaurant, our server said it was the first day in the last few weeks that she had any down time.
This is the first time we were at Disney for Spring Break. I was expecting it to be crowded, but it was beyond what we expected. We enjoyed ourselves very much, but we decided never again during Spring Break.

I also had major issues with my MDE account. This definitely caused added stress to our vacation. I think it started long before we arrived at Disney. I had trouble with adding magic bands onto my MDE while planning this trip.

We had three reservations due to not being able to get a room at AKV for one night of our trip. I spent at least 12 hours of my 11 day trip at the resort front desk, working with a manager or at a park at Guest Services.

Disney IT had to recreate my MDX three different times. This caused more issues. I would try to go into a park and there would be no ticket media linked to my account. This would cause me another trip to Guest Services to straighten it out.

The IT department called me during a dinner at Chef Mickeys one evening. I had to leave dinner to go down to the front desk to continue working on fixing my MDX. Of course it was the night we had planned on walking to MK to see
HEA. Since my account was still corrupted, I had to stay at the front desk with the manager and missed the show.

It became a joke. How long would I have to be at Guest Service each day. It all came together by day 8 of an eleven day vacation. All the Cms,managers and even the Disney Ambassador(who I met at AK Guest Services) were wonderful. They tried very hard to help us and I do appreciate their efforts. It just was frustrating wasting so much time, especially, when it was so crowded.
