Here is our itinerary and the crowd levels:
Sat - AK (not crowded) and
EP (more crowded than AK but nothing bad) we had a good view of Illum. 10 minutes before it started
Sun - EP (totally empty) and spent the afternoon at ESPN club watching the Eagles - also not crowded. At night I think the only thing we waited long for was Maelstrom!?
Mon - MGM (low crowds) no wait for RnRC. At one point we did have to wait 1/2 hr for ToT for some reason. They kept taking the Fast Pass people instead. The park seemed to get more crowded closer to the Fantasmic time. We arrived at the show 45 mins ahead and sat about 3/4 of the way around.
Tues - MK (very low crowds) I don't think we had to wait for anything. I think we used FP for Space Mtn, but it wasn't necessary
Tues night - DQ - from 8-10, got more crowded as the night wore on
Wed - MK (again very low crowds)
Thurs - MGM (crowds seem to be picking up) but no where near summer crowds
Thurs afternoon - EP - (not crowded)
Fri - AK - the only EE park that we did. we didn't do very much this day, but around 9am we had no wait for the Safari.
Fri night - MK for
MNSSHP - Didn't have to wait for any rides
Sat - Typhoon Lagoon - we left at 2:30 so there weren't any waits, but I noticed as we were leaving the lines were getting longer.
We are used to going in the beginning of Dec, so compared to that the crowds were heavier, but I actually liked it better that way. It gave the parks more life, and there seemed to be a lot more entertainment. Also, you never felt like you were the only people in an attraction, like Lion King or Millionaire, where I'd feel really conspicuous.
We only took pics with characters if there wasn't a line (we were 3 adults) and this happened several times, even in the Judge's Tent in Toontown.
HTH!
