Lou... 3,118 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's one of the big 3 times of the year to stay away. If you made the mistake of coming to WDW now, after you were warned not to, you may want to skip this. Currently, all parks are operating as normal, but that could change.Wait times are fairly long.As a sampling, Splash Mt. is 2-1/4 hours. IASW is 25 minutes, which is 24 more minutes than I'd wait to ride it.And if you want to meet a female CM dressed up like a fictional princess wearing a bad wig so that you can have an over priced photo taken by a College Program kid wearing knickers who would rather be at the Ale House, it's average of an hour. FastPasses are non existent for anything you'd actually want to ride.The good news is that the Tiki Room and Carousel of Progress are walk on. How can that be, it's everybody's favorite.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sounds magical. Seriously, I like it when it's crazy busy like that. But, I wouldn't if I only visited once a year. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Lou,I could go for some zingers and a pitcher of beer at the Ale House. We were just talking about how we haven't been to an Ale House in a long time. Back 5 years ago it was our go to happy hour spot in Naples. Oh and crowds suck but when is not crowded anyone?

I don't think ole Walt intended it be just a place to cool off at I could go for some zingers and a pitcher of beer at the Ale House. But I like the Ale House. And so do a lot of CMs after work. Back on topic.Now it's out of control, IASW has a 70 minute wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 The most crowded I have ever seen WDW was the day most of the WW went in 2013. I remember some long lines for things. But mostly, I remember grinning and giggling and dancing. I know there are many who wouldn't agree with me. But I would happily "suffer" through a high crowd day if it meant I could be at WDW. (Editting to add: However, I am very glad that homeschooling means when we can afford to go to WDW, we can arrange to go during the "off season") Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right after you posted, I tried to get 3 FP+'s for today on MDE and everything was wide open even the biggies- Space, Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion. The return times weren't until later this evening, but I could have booked them. FastPass+ is so awesome! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD Could it be that when the internal website shows FPs not being available, that they mean getting a FP at the park?It's still showing that FPs are not available for the most popular attractions.

Just checked again- now certain attractions are shown as not available: Splash Mountain, Enchanted Tales, and some others. It let me pick Big Thunder, Space and Peter Pan. But then when it showed the options, the mountains were gone, and they were substituting Laugh Floor and the Speedway (at 9:15- 10:15 pm). They aren't completely out of FP+'s yet, but it looks like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Now it's out of control, IASW has a 70 minute wait.No thank you! That's insane. I'd rather be home than waiting in lines like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to plan my vomiting in advance allows me to pack some wet wipes and an extra shirt. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I've been Easter week the past 2 years and never waited in lines like that. You have to have a plan and get the hell out midday, but it's doable. I wish I was there now!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My plan, stay home.I'm glad I'm not there now, although it's not as bad as it was yesterday. Wait times are little shorter. Splash Mt. is only an hour and a half.

Lou... 3,118 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Not a good time to be at MK today. They went into a Phased closing status for a while but are back to normal as of 4:20.The waits are still long though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I should start a new business.... Pay for my campsite, and I'll make sure you don't wait in line. No other payment required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
