Just chiming in. We were there 2/28-3/6. I saw a post several pages back that said MK on Saturday,3/2 was the busiest they've ever seen it.... we were at Mk 3/2 from 8:30am to 4:30ish and had an amazing day at Mk. I actually met one of the Youtube Vloggers in the park that day. She was Live Streaming, I even caught her saying numerous times how crazy crowded it was. I think it all comes down to expectations and planning. I use to be the one who stressed over crowds and going at the right time of year, on the right day, to the right park, yada yada. About 2 months before our trip I got some super scary updated crowd calendar numbers for our trip and decided how ridiculous it was, Disney is going to be crowded, quit stressing. It would be fine. I was right, this trip was awesome because of planning, expectations to just go with what the kids want to do, correct use of Fastpass, getting to the park early and for the most part leaving early evening before the mass exodus at the end of the night(this is my worst "magic" killer!) I hate how cranky my family gets, how cranky people get and I hate the crowds leaving. So I decided we just wouldn't do it this year. And, I can say it worked out great, I don't feel like we missed out on anything.
This was our day at MK 3/2 (TP has it as a 8/10). My DD7 and I made it 30+ min before rope drop. Leisurely walked down Main Street taking in the sites. Enjoyed the Welcome Show. Somehow we had never watched it. Before noon we met Cinderella, Elena, Merida, Alice, Ariel, Rode Under The Sea, met Daisy, Pluto, rode Dumbo, FP Rapunzel and Tiana, tried the yummy Peter Pan Float and Lost Princess cone, caught the Friendship Faire Show, the Move It Shake It Party, FP Enchanted Tales, lunch at Pinocchio (Mobile Order!!! This was the best kept secret of our whole trip), and Philharmagic. My 3 DSs(7,9,10) and Hubby then joined us. They had been fishing in Bay Lake, EPIC according to my 7yo. Side note: they caught 28 fish in 2 hrs, one being a 6.5#. Once they made it over we rode 7D (FP), boys had a light lunch at The Launching Pad (Mobile Order again!!), Space (FP had to search for a 4th for DD and I for a while but got it), People Mover, Buzz (FP added 5th FP for DD and I). Kids then wanted to play Sorcerers of the Kingdom and it sent us to AdventureLand... during the parade... crazy! So we stopped playing and watched the parade while my husband got Dole whips with Mobile order. However this time it didn't work. People were getting in the Mobile order line and not placing their order until they got to the window which made this line almost as long as the regular line. So strange but anyways we still enjoyed them. We played 2 rounds of Sorcerers. Picked up a FP for Small World and then headed out for our dinner reservation at Artist Point. Which was a ton of fun and delicious. All in all I thought it was amazing even with the crazy crowds. I have lots of confidence now that we could do Christmas crowds or REAL Spring Break crowds in the future. Not sure I want to... but its not off the table.
Just wanted to give some positivity to those who are worried with crowds in upcoming trips.
