I'll be down at WDW the end of next week and I've been keeping watch over the wait times the last couple weeks. There has been a pretty dramatic increase in wait times across all parks. I noticed earlier today that if we wanted to hit the top 6 attractions with the longest wait times at MK, it would take us close to 6 hours with the wait times posted. The park is only open for 9 hours. How in the world do they expect guests to even get to see half of what they're wanting to do? Without FP or EMH, you have no choice but to wait in line. DHS is even more of a mess with longer wait times and less attractions.
I remember in years past when parks were anticipated to be busier than predicted, they would lengthen the operating hours either the week before, the week of or even sometimes the day of. I notice they have added an hour to both Epcot and AK on 9/26. I understand why they shortened park hours before, lots of things had VERY short waits for awhile, but it things seem to be picking up across all 4 parks. It would make sense to me to start adding an hour or 2 so that guests are actually able to do more than half the attractions in the parks while paying a full day ticket. Does anyone else think this should be something they should implement now as the crowds, while still falling under the capacity limit, start to grow?
