We did the F&WF a few years ago and noticed the same thing with the crowds. It seems to draw a lot of non-Disney types. By that, I mean that we were shocked by how many rude, obnoxious, party-animal types there were. Most Disney-ers in general are fairly laid back and considerate of others. But waaaaaaay too many of the folks we had to deal with that day were totally OUT...OF...CONTROL..
Nevertheless, we made the best of it, and still managed to have a good time.
We really enjoyed the variety of tastes from all over the world, and we figure we'll have to go back quite a few times to get to all of it. Bummer.... NOT!
We went too late last year to catch it, and we're going too late this year too, but I'm sure we'll have puuuuhhlenty more chances...
