Memorial Day weekend - worth it?

[GeorgeOfTheJungle]

I'm thinking of driving to WDW from Atlanta on May 27th and staying until mid-day on the 30th. I'll be staying on-property so I can take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours. I plan to get a Park Hopper so I can take advantage of EMH at each of the parks or have the freedom to park hop if one park is particularly crowded. Here's my tentative plan:

27th: Arrive on-property in the evening, and head to Hollywood Studios (open til 12am with EMH).

28th: Start my day at EPCOT at 9am. Stay for a few hours, then head over to Magic Kingdom in the afternoon and stay til 12am.

29th: Start my day at 8am at Hollywood Studios for a few hours, then spend rest of the day at EPCOT until 9pm when it closes and then finish the day at Magic Kingdom.

30th: Animal Kingdom for 1/2 a day before I need to head back home.

What do you think of this plan? I know it's a lot crammed into a weekend (especially a holiday weekend) but I'll be going solo so I can move around a lot quicker than most, and can also take advantage of Single Rider lines for rides I want to hit multiple times like Expedition Everest, Rock N Roller Coaster, and Test Track. I've never been on a holiday weekend at WDW before however I've been to Disneyland on many busy weekends so I'm sure it's comparable?

Of all of my trips, I was the most unhappy with crowds (and at times I was genuinely scared of a stampede breaking out) during Memorial Day weekend 2015. The holiday weekend was at the tail end of my 7-day trip, and the difference in crowds was substantial.

I was about to cast my vote in the "not worth it" column, but then I read you were traveling solo. I think it would be much more enjoyable being there on that weekend being solo, you could definitely navigate the crows with ease. When I was there I was navigating a family of 4 with 2 strollers, and at times it was almost unbearable. The crowds were so thick, and navigating the park was very difficult to do without getting "split up".

But if you are going solo I wouldn't hesitate to go at all that weekend.

It will be busy but you know that. I think you'll be able to cover a lot of ground as a single traveler so don't see any reason why you can't enjoy the holiday weekend at Disney World! Have fun!!

We are thinking of beginning on Memorial Day and staying through the following weekend. Also a family of 4 here, just 1 stroller though. I know the Monday would be crowded, but I'm thinking it may slack off some after that. Or would it be worth it to wait to arrive the weekend after Memorial Day?

Note that the last few years WDW has had their 24-hour day in the MK on the Friday prior to Memorial Day. This may make it more or less appealing to you.
