So granted I’m spoiled because we are usually able to go in Sept & Jan to WDW, this year we switched it up and the parks were definitely full. The fast pass lines were crazy, Splash and Big Thunder were both over the bridges to Pecos Bills. I can’t even imagine what it’s like during summer or “busy” season! Still had a great time and the weather was beautiful though


Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

Glad you had a great time despite the crowds.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

We saw those same crowds last year...I had never seen the lines stretched across the bridge before that trip and I never want to again. Glad the crowds did not dampen your trip.

The parks have definitely been very busy as of late - not sure if this is an exceptionally busy spring break season or the result of ticket pricing changes that change the cost depending on when you visit.

Small World & Haunted Mansion had 55 minute waits everyday last week! 😬

I think I saw on Instagram that our fearless leader, John, is at WDW now and he posted some crowded pics. Way too many field trip kids in the spring any more. It's a shame because that and fall are when the weather is best. I'm assuming schools get group ticket discounts? I'm sure Disney doesn't care, but maybe it needs some reexamination.

We were there March 9-15. It was the busiest we've ever seen it. Every park, every day. Small World FASTPASS line winding down past the bathrooms. FOP standby....240 minutes consistently. Crazy!

best,
