With all the talk of crowds and whatnot...

I cam across this video on youtube the other day. It's a little long, but WOW! Look at how empty the park used to be at rope drop. Wish we still had this kind of morning crowds.

Looks like its fall, which is typically a low-crowd season.

ETA: watching further, this seems typical of a low-crowd level morning. Meh.

Yeh, you can see the halloween pumpkins so it's definitely low crowd season. Looks like one of my MK days last Sept (and definitely like my MK days in 2014). If it's an MNSSHP day then you get low crowds in low crowd season and from the looks of the outfits and tech on show I'd say it was a fairly recent video.

Those were blissful mornings to be cherished unlike this one:


The line for bag check at 9.30am soooooo glad I was just passing through! *shudder*
ETA: The line was all the way back to the big sign for the bus stops

The information about the video on youtube says it was shot on September 6, 2011. Yes, I know September is less crowded, but c'mon! It's like there's absolutely nobody there! I'm fairly certain that it wasn't like that in September of 2015.

It wasn't.

We were there the second week of September 2015 and the crowds were very large. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that there are no longer any such thing as a low crowd time.

Yeh unfortunately only got one Sept morning that was that quiet during my 2015 trip. Last year we were cursed with 3 long weekends in the row plus the threat of a hurricane which meant it was WAY busier than would be expected at that time of year. 2014 we had some lovely and quiet mornings (well days) though. Don't have any pics from that trip on this laptop otherwise I'd upload a couple for comparison.

Luckily quiet times like those can be had for as little as $69 these days

Interesting.
Having been to WDW in both of those years, I can agree.
