Why is 5/13-5/22, 2011 So Busy at Parks This Year?

Hi Intercot Friends - Just booked a last minute trip to the World (so excited) for 5/13-5/22. Chose those dates as we did the same last year and found that after the closing weekend of the FlowerFest crowds were really light (psych!). Just started to make our itinerary and found that MK is open a couple of the days until 1:00 am, 2:00 am etc.

What is making this week so busy this year? Grad nights? Star Wars Weekend? Please advise, might need to rethink.

We are down there starting on 5/20 and I think it's because of Star Tours opening that day and that weekend starts Star Wars weekends too. We are there for a convention for DH's work. I was looking just yesterday to see how crowded the resorts are and most of the Deluxes are full with no availability. I'm wondering too if some of it is because that is the week before Memorial Day. Not sure if this helps answer your question....
