Crowds definitely got bigger as the week went by.
SUN 10-19, Blizzard beach from 10-2. Loved it, not crowded at all, no lines for rides.
MNSSHP 3-12. We got there at 3, walked onto buzz twice and Space mountain twice. I think it was a great time to get there since a lot of people were leaving after the 3:00 parade. We pretty much rode everything that night, and got lots of candy. We didn't catch any of the quieter things like presidents, but got lots of riding in. The line for the photo with cindy in front of the coach was LONG. We refused to wait.
MON 10-20 Epcot. Lines were long for test track and Mission Space. We used fast passes and it was no problem. Everything else was light.
TUES 10-21 Magic Kingdom more crowded than on Sunday. We got to ride everything though. Waited 45 minutes for POOH, were at the very FRONT of the line and it broke down. That took a chunk out of our riding time. Waited about 15 minutes per ride. Long lines for character photos.
WED 10-22Animal Kingdom. Waited 15 minutes for the safari, and everything else was less than 5 minutes. The place SEEMED crowded, lots of people, but the lines were short. We got DRENCHED on Kali river rapids and never did dry out that day.
Thursday 10-23 MGM Crowds seemed really heavy. Waits for TOT and RnR were about an hour each. The shows were always packed. For some strange reason though, we seemed to time everything perfectly and saw every show and rode every ride without a wait. So, it seemed like timing was key.
Friday-Typhoon Lagoon, much more crowded than blizzard beach. 10 minute waits for slides.
Saturday-Epcot, crowded, but manageable. Not packed, but definitely not empty!
Sunday 10-26, yesterday-MK was PACKED. Lines were very long for every ride. The fast passes weren't going out very far, so it worked for us to grab a fast pass to a ride, then go to another ride and wait in line, then go back to fast pass ride. We got in 14 rides before 3 that day doing that.
So, crowds were definately there. It was not empty like previous Octobers we went, but it was manageable. We just took it easy and if something was crowded, we went and did something else. We had a great time! Crowds really weren't a big issue and our hotel was sold out. I am hoping this is how the rest of the FTP days go!
