But seriously, I've been down there a couple times on this weekend. It was not so busy during the week and then real busy once Friday came. It might have seemed busier than it was b/c it was real quiet during the week. And also the hot weather didn't help. But it does pick up. The more popular rides routinely have a wait of 90 minutes, usually more. Fastpasses generally have you returning four to five hours later.
Good one kcarts ~ I really could use that laugh today! (Un)fortunately I never experienced that while I was visiting Japan!!
Ick, I think I will stick to my visiting during the "off"seasons. That is busy enough for me :shock: I don't think I could handle waiting in line for 90 minutes :(

Me neither. I try to go either before Christmas in December or right after the New Year. Love to just walk on most of the rides!

Christmas at WDW Magic Kingdom is like the top deck of Titantic as its sinking - the maddening crowd is that bad...

F1gment has been getting after me the last few days. We are close to 6 months out from when our AP's expire. I handle the hotel and tour booking. She has been checking airfares and is finding plenty of flights going down, but everything is booked coming back. Guess we'll have to extend out AP's indefinitely ;)

mindflipper - It's mainly because southern schools are back in and my kids are still out. I can't convince the wife to take them out of school for something as important as DIsney!

Amy - What dates are you looking around, if I may ask???

Probably sometime in October, although I would love to sneak another in between Thanksgiving and when the passes expire 12/2. Not sure I can swing 2 trips though... I'd love the chance to meet the rest of the NaClers!!!! :D

My parents were the opposite of your wife. It would be that my grandmother died, take me out of school, head off out of town to the funeral. I think I had over a dozen grandmothers die while I was in school, and yet still had two left over.

Amy - Unfortunately, if it's in October, it would just be me and Mom again unless my sister can weasel her way in with us. My whole clan will be there in August.

Yeah, no way could I talk F1gment into a trip in August. She grew up down there and is all too aware of the temperatures and humidity at the time of year ;) August wouldn't do pretty things to my hair either :shock: :lol:
But October might work, I would take visiting with the NaCler's I already met ~ I liked both of them ;) (so did the Momma!)
