We're heading to WDW on 2/25 and we weren't sure if ESPN the Weekend was going to be then when we booked our trip. I've read a variety of opinions on the crowds at DHS during the event, some say it's crowded, others say it's more empty than usual because people stay away due to the event. I vaguely remember listening to a podcast that I think Bob (we miss you!) did last year. I don't remember if the report was primarily on the events or commented on the crowds and I haven't had the time to look for it. So what is the experience of the experts here regarding the crowds? We are debating about going on either Friday or Saturday, is one day better than the other? I think we'll be OK and my DW isn't as sure as I am.
