I was there starting 7/12 and returned last night. Crowds were better than my stays in May and March for sure. There was alot of last minute availability for all the restaurants...inside the 24-48 hour mark..incl BOG and CRT. Just keep checking. I had good luck with Fps too. We always book rather last minute, just a few weeks out, so I never book ADRs or Fps right when they open up. BTGs were everywhere, but they weren't particularly annoying. It was just a problem when you wanted to use the ladies room and they were there first...looonnnggg line.Hello All,
We will be heading down end of this week. Will be there from the 20th to 27th. How are the parks looking crowd wise? I know that everyone has said that this summer has been soft for Disney but what are people actually seeing crowd wise? Also, I have been trying to get a lunch reso at BOG with no luck. What are the chances of a spot opening up while we are there if I keep checking? Thanks in adavnce for your help.
Here now since 7/14 & I think MK has just been ridiculous the whole time. Fast pass lines are ridiculous. And the security lines to get into the TTC were outrageous one morning b/c the monorail was down. We are normally are ones to go with the flow & have been during many crowded times including NYE, but with the heat added in, it has been obnoxious.
I kinda have to agree. We've been all times other than Christmas (been going at least once a year for 15 years) and today/especially tonight with the Villains party adding to an already ridiculously crowded day leaving MK was like something I've never seen. It was completely insane...wall to wall ppl. - and this was around 1030, so a decent amount of time after fireworks and after party had already started. I've gotta say we def. kinda felt ripped off tonight as it was just soo crowded due to the extra party guests. If it were me I def. wouldn't go on a party day. Yesterday at Hollywood Studios it was pretty crowded as well. Epcot on Monday was awesome and Sun. at MK was better than today. It was just crazy.
Just wantedto chime in to say my sister and her husband had that today and they both thought it was pretty terrible. - Neither are super picky eaters and my sister was excited to have chicken instead of pork, but honestly it didn't even look like chicken and the portion is VERY small.
Well that doesn’t sound great.
I agree. That has been my experience this trip too. And with a 14 month old that just makes everything even harder. I don’t expect to be able to ride all the rides in a day with 14 mon old, but I do expect to at least successfully ride the 3 fps rides, but when the lines for the FP are that long, it’s just not possible.
My sister and visited 7/11-7/16. Our trip was last-minute by Disney standards so we ended up at MK on a Saturday because that had the best fastpass options for us for some reason. The BTGs were pretty annoying. No, I don't think a group of 100 teens should line up like a train and cover the eyes of the person in front of them, especially in a park as crowded as MK was that day. Things were a lot less crowded in the evening.
It may be more crowded with longer lines, but it's still the Magic Kingdom. Give yourself some downtime and I think you will have a great visit.
You may not hate it, but yes, it has changed significantly since you were there last.
If you have an ADR at 5, you'll want to be out of the pool by 3 and on your way to your ADR by 4pm at the very latest.
