Now At The World - Accepting ???'s

[ddcrna]

We are at WDW now and until the 19th. Glad to answer any questions about crowds, refurbs, etc. I check in each day, so fire away!

[Melanie]

How are the crowds? Interested to see if they pick up for Veteran's Day.

Hope you are having a great trip!

Moderate at EPCOT yesterday, but not bad at all, especially considering F&W and a weekend. We got a fastpass for Soarin', as the wait was 45 min by late morning. Everything else was a walk on. World Showcase was busy, but not mobbed.

Thanks for the update. We leave early in the a.m. and CANNOT wait!

Please update on crowds later if you get the chance! Thanks and have a great time!

[BriarRose0708]

Wow, sometimes I consider 45 minute at Soarin' a walk on, lol!

How are the holiday decorations? Are they beginning to get them all up?

[Stu29573]

We leave for WDW on the 17th, so any info would be appreciated!

[lynnek]

Thanks for the info! We will be there on Friday, going to F&W Sat afternoon, hoping for a fun crowd. We'll be there for most of your stay--we'll be the clueless ones; this is our first visit!

[Scar]

Did all the people from New Jersey leave?

[HeadFairyInCharge]

Are any Chrismas Decorations going up...Be there on Monday the 15th...7 days wondering how crowds are this week and if any decorating is going on yet ???

[lynnek]

Its snowing up here--happy you're down there???

[ddcrna]

Christmas decorations are up! Christmas music is playing! Crowds at the MK yesterday were unbelievable!! I haven't seen it this light in many years. We did nearly every attraction in the park (some twice) moving about at a leisurely pace , and left the park at 4PM. Hope this holds! If you are on your way, you are in for a treat.

[ddcrna]

And for Lynne - Hope you have a wonderful time on your first visit! I am sure you will!! Don't despair if the World Showcase feels a bit crowded on Sat afternoon - it is typical for a weekend during F&W Festival. Crowds during your visit should be very manageable.

[lynnek]

Thanks for your updates!!
We're just excited to have stumbled into a reservation that included F&W The kids will be doing their World Adventure(all the clues are printed and ready to go!) and my DH and I will be people watching and enjoying our first full day at Disney--with some yummy new foods and yummy adult beverages. Like I said, it snowed up here and I'm not recalling snow in the forcast I read here, even if he calls it voodoo.

Just saw the forecast for the next seven days - sunny, sunny, and sunny - high 70's - low 80's. No Humidity. It is absolutely fantastic! Mid day standby line at Expedition Everest yesterday was posted at 15 minutes - it was more like 10. Nemo theatre was about 2/3 full for mid day shows. Festival of the Lion king was barely half full for the first show. Anyone on the way is in for a treat!!

Anyone up for a or perhaps a ?

[lynnek]

How's RrC doing? A friend just got back, said it was down because of a malfunction with the restraint system, they fixed it and then it acted up again shortly thereafter--so she thought it was now down for awhile. Nice to hear the crowd levels are low!!

Will you be attending a MVMCP while there? If so, I have a question.

[Insanity Clause]

What is the weather like? We will be coming down Dec 5-Dec12 and I have no idea what to pack!

[ddcrna]

Answering the three most recent queries in order:

1. Going to The Studios today - will let you know about RRC

2. We are going to the MVMCP on Tuesday.

3. The weather is very nice, but from prior experience, it can change in late Nov/early Dec. If I were you, I would bring short sleeves, long sleeves, and thin jackets. Also, take a look at Storm Chaser's updates in vacation planning.

Crowds were a bit heavier yesterday at MK, but there was a 7PM showing of the Electrical Parade (which was fantastic BTW), and 8 PM Wishes. I think that is the reason. Still, everything was very reasonable. 20 min for BTMRR at 5PM, walk on to Pirates all day, 20 min for Space Mtn mid-afternoon. You get the gist.

Enjoying your updates. Keep 'em coming. Today is a holiday so there is no school in s. Florida so some may make this a long weekend and enjoy the last weekend of food and wine. We head up on Monday. Hoping it isn't super crowded when we get there.

Headed down in exactly 34 hours (not that I'm counting!). Even though I have been at The World too many times to count, this will be a first for me as Saturday is my birthday We have dinner at 'Ohana Saturday night and will be spending most of the day at MK. Sunday is Epcot, and Monday is IOA to check out the Harry Potter area before coming back to reality later in the evening... I am expecting crazy crowds (especially at MK), but we've done everything a million times, I just need a dose of pixie dust right now. I'd be thrilled just to sit on a bench all weekend!
