Epcot Flower & Garden Attendance?

[Raineman]

The week that my family and I will be at WDW this spring will be the first week of the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. Will it be crazy busy at Epcot then, like it seems to be with Food & Wine, or will the increase in attendance not be that noticeable? I haven't been to Epcot since 1990, so I have never been on Soarin, TT, etc, and I am hoping that F&G doesn't make for long lines or hard-to-get ADRs.

We went in April so I can't speak to what it would look like the first week but when we went, Epcot seemed slightly more crowded maybe but we only really noticed it in the World Showcase because they had food/drink booths similar to the Food and Wine Festival (although not as many and not nearly as congested). Regardless, it was a great time to visit Epcot and we loved the festival. Gorgeous!

We will also be there during the first week of the Flower and Garden Festival.....our trip is March 5-10. We plan to stay away from Epcot and The MK on the weekend and visit other parks instead. That is our typical MO when we visit at any time since I find that the MK and Epcot are more crowded on the weekend maybe due to local Florida residents visits. I would love to hear about the experience of others who have visited the parks during this time.
