The title pretty much says it all. We depart Philadelphia at 7:30 tomorrow morning and I was wondering what crowd levels are like including brazillian sightings.

Also I know I have seen a write up somewhere but can't seem to find it that says which parks are historically the busyest and slowest on certain days of the week. Does anyone have any idea where I can find that? I tried searching for "crowd levels" but came up with a ton of bogus hits.

GO PHILLIES!!!

I know what you mean and it has only been 2 months since we were there.

@copcarguyp71-To get the crowd levels Touring Plans has that info. You will probably have to subscribe though to get what information you are looking for.

My "go to" site for crowd planning is touringplans.com. You can get the crowd calendar and parks to avoid for the next couple of weeks free. Must subscribe to get crowd levels for rest of the year. Of course the crowd levels are predictions but are based on years of data and (for my trips) have been pretty accurate. They also have phone apps that tell you the estimated "real time" waits at all of the parks for the major attractions.

I have used Touringplans in the past with good success but unfortuneately I am unable to get a secure encrypted connection to pay directly by credit card and due to some very bad spoofing issues I had with PayPal I closed my account with them. Any other ideas? I know I have seen the busy and slow days published somewhere I just can't seem to remember where I saw it :brick:

You don't have to have an account with touringplans,com to see the next couple of weeks of the crowd calendar. It is free to the public. Have fun on your trip!

I just got back yesterday from an 8 day trip. Last Tues (12th), Weds (13th) and Thurs (14th) were the furthest from what I expected with crowds. Previously, when I went down in October, it was pretty quiet and we had no issue with crowds. Those three days were some of the worst I have seen in Disney. It was packed and there were Brazilian Tour Groups every where. What made it worse was that they were so rude and ignorant, being nasty to cast members and cutting in front of lines for character greetings. From Friday on though, we had no issues. The crowds were moderate and not difficult at all. Some of the bigger rides got busier in the afternoon but fast passes were always available.

Hope this helps! Have fun and go Phillies!

Was down there last weekend, and it was packed!! Got to mgm around 9:30 and tsmm already had a 70 min wait. Captain EO played to a packed house. plenty of loud and obnoxious local college students in WS drinking it up. Gran fiesta tour had a 40 min wait! I dont ever remember seeing a wait on that.
Space Mountain had a 70 min wait even while MSEP was going on. Thankfully during the second showing of msep we were able to ride and re-ride splash, never had a cm ask me if I wanted to ride again, so that was pretty cool, but apart from that yes the parks were packkkedd!

I think alot of it had to do with florida locals going up for the weekend, because as we were driving back down to south florida we stopped at the port st. lucie rest stop and jeebus christ it was packed! I never seen a rest stop that filled with people before. I thought the reason why everything was so packed was because it was the last weekend before halloween, then I realized, no thats this weekend, so hope it isnt too packed for you, but I can only imagine how many more florida locals are going to try to get in one more theme park weekend in there before halloween.. Good Luck

I've gotta say I was around AK and Epcot yesterday and while there were tons of people at Epcot, the lines weren't that bad due to most of the crowd checking out the food and wine festival... The estimates are pretty high for this time of year but I was pretty surprised that, for example, Soarin' never had more than a 50 minute wait yesterday. No Brazillians and the weather is quite pleasant at the moment, however, it will get warmer by the beginning of next week.

This was something I was going to ask is TSMM was still very busy. Sounds like it, so will head over to Fastpass right away when we go in December.
