But again all you've given are generalities. Personally I have trouble assigning ANY credibility to someone who claims that they spend 45-60 days in the parks each year and speaks in such absolutes, stating that he "
always" runs into "big crowds
everywhere."
Like I said in my post, I spent a measly 15 days in the parks this year with a few days in February, June and October. Aside from the handful of premier attractions at each park (Soarin, Toy Story Mania, Everest), we never wait more than 10-15 minutes and often the attractions are virtual walk-ons. Even attractions with long standby lines are quite manageable with FastPass.
In my opinion, crowd levels and wait times have been virtually unchanged for the last 5-6 years. Going back to 2002-2004 things
were much lighter. But that was in the wake of 9/11 when tourism was down and the travel industry was still trying to recover. It was that 3-year period which was the anomaly. Prior to 9/11 things were just as busy as they are today--some claim they were even busier.
Lacking any specifics, this just comes across as sour grapes. Everything is awful....used to be better....Disney stinks...Iger is greedy....blah, blah, blah.
