I'm curious, too. We're going in August, and I'm hoping that Pandora will draw some of the crowds away from the other parks. I can wish for that, at least.

I'm glad that we had a really nice pre-Pandora day at Animal Kingdom last month. Not an Avatar fan & have no interest in Pandora, so we're going to skip AK this summer.

We do have a fast pass for Fop for our day so it looks like we will be able to at least get in the park....but yes hoping the crowds will be better at the other parks next week

We are in EPCOT and waits for Test Track are now over 100 minutes with Spaceship Earth around 35 minutes.
World Showcase is crowded with lots of people in the shops.
It's scorching hot without a cloud in the sky and the folks are definitely out and about!!!

It's the unofficial start of summer, expect huge crowds until further notice. Plenty of fun to be had, but lots of company to enjoy it with.

We arrived at DHS at 9:40am. It was crowded but manageable. Had FP for RnR and ToT. We took express transportation to EPCOT at 1pm. Rode Test Track single rider with a 10 minute wait. Standby was over 100 minutes. Did ride in Mexico with about a 10 minute wait. Then walked through the crowds to get gelato in Italy and a henna tattoo in Morocco (minimal waits at both). Longest wait was boat back over to FW. It's hot and crowded but totally manageable. Tonight we're going to see if we can do Pandora during the 11pm-1am EMH.

When we left HS around 130 they were parking the last row available for cars (but it's a small lot so I don't know how normal that is)

I thought HS was crowded but manageable. We did star tours (x2 with rs) tsmm, Muppets, Tot and lunch and got a 4th FP for GMR (sb was reaching an hour and I was able to grab a fp for less than an hour later).

Florida schools (at least the Tampa Bay area) all finished school this past week (earlier than normal and it will be this way next year too), silver APS are still good as are their spring ticket primo.

All parks were brutal but it's Memorial Day weekend so it's expected.

Long lines and brutal heat

MK was a ghost town from about 8-10. Crowds started to pick up after that, and when we left at 11, people were just pouring down Main St. Epcot this evening was busy but very manageable. We were able to ride everything we wanted to do today with minimal wait with good planning.

Out of curiosity, I looked at TPs "How we did yesterday" numbers and they had MK at 6 and everything else 7 or 8 including AK. Those are supposed to be actual park levels. Seriously? How do you call a Phase 3 closure day an 8? Assuming the reports about the closures were accurate something's not right there.

There was not phase 3 closure at AK--but controlled Phase 3. Park was always open; only Pandora had limitations.

We didn't get to MK until 9. Definitely not a ghost town, but comfortable crowds. Unfortunately we hit one of those occasional moments when there was a surge of FPs that decided to ride Space...our 25 min wait turned into 50.

We had to stay until 1:40 for 7 Dwarves FP. Fantasyland was bottleneck by noon. We high tailed out after 7 Dwarves.

Folks, this heat is quite bearable--dew point was only 45 yesterday, so no heat index. Pretty unusual in FL this time of year. 90s & humid r normal this time of year, so actually u got better weather than usual!

It's the last weekend of Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT, which makes for a very crowded World. Glad we went Friday. Crowds weren't bad & neither was heat.
We have FP for FoP at 5:55 tonight....truly not sure when to head over! Our plan is hit it closer to 6:30-6:45, and wander Pandora until dark. May fiddle with other FPs...
