We just returned from a week in Anaheim. We did 5 park days - Feb 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17th.
The mid week days were cool and rainy and we got a LOT done. We had MP and I lost count of how many rides we did - it was incredible really. Thursday we just walked onto GOTG three times.
We then took the Friday to do Universal and returned for Sat and Sun in the parks.
Now I know it's a long weekend so we fully expected crowds and we were fine as we had MP and had already pretty much gotten all the rides in we wanted by that point, so we had planned to do the 'other stuff' like Tiki Room and the non rides things that are so great at the park on those days to make for a relaxing end to the visit. We arrived early or did no bags so we didn't end up suffering through security.
It was crowded though - from our perspective at least - we've never been there in all our years visiting and seen Ariel with a 30 minute wait or a line to get into the Library in the Sorcerer's Workshop. That is jut two examples that blew us away.
My question is, we've thought of returning during Spring Break - outside of the unknown SWGE factor, is that the type of busy you see during Spring Break or Summer even? I can't imagine Christmas now.
Thanks in advance!
