What are the crowds like in early May?

[sarahc]

We're off from 9-13th May which is Saturday to Wednesday. We will probably spend Sunday to Wednesday in the parks and I just wondered what it's like then? I know Sunday will probably be dreadful, but how dreadful?
We've always been in Sept, Nov, Dec and Feb before and always off peak so I'm a bit concerned that May, which should be a bit warmer , will also be quite a bit busier.
Any info on wait times etc would be great!

Sunday will probably be quite busy.

Monday to Wednesday should be a little quieter, there seem to be no school holidays in England or France so that will definatly help.

However it is the start of Mickey's Magical Party so DLRP are expecting it to be busier as everyone wants to see the new shows etc.

I'd suggest to expect 10-30 minute queues for most rides.

Thanks John! The fact that so many of us seem to be going got me a little worried!

 

[cap'njack.]

No worries

Usually its the other way around, if there are a lot of DISers going then it's the better times to visit

I see your logic!

Im going to have pictures taken with me holding signs with Cap'njack on them with a huge arrow pointing towards you.

And then leave them randomly over the park like a treasure hunt for you

Maybe you could get another tattoo done?

Saying Will you marry me?

Then when i pose for a pic with you in the background she'll see it ?
That could work lol

bacl on subject layered clothes will probably be good for may as it can variate quite alot in May i've heard

I do think it will be quite busy as the new Playhouse stuff and Mickey Party starts. I know 3 different families (not on this Board) who are all going at the beginning of May for this very reason!

We looked at going early May but couldn't fit it in around the European and our school holidays!

Can't wait to hear what it's all like

Probably by about mid August if you fancy waiting for Cap'n trip report!
