And people were suggesting food and wine would not be a hit?

Leaving now. Got here around 2. Took us 15 minutes to get though ticket entry. Place is more packed than I've ever seen for F+W. Lines in the front part of world showcase weren't awful. But France to China were a disaster. At least the weather was nice

 

[ChrisFL]

is it just F&W traffic or is there another event clogging up the parking lot? (I'm asking from BAD experience)

What makes today so crowded?

Shudder.

 

[wishiwere@wdw]

Could be Toad the Wet Sprocet as well. Either way, that's crazy.

Florida and Florida State both have off weeks. Always boosts the F&W crowds when that happens.

I had the misfortune of doing F&W on weekend nights earlier this October. Dense, packed, uncomfortable for the sober visitor. WS is Central Florida's bar.

Incidentally, Disney Springs was even more crowded on weekend evenings. I don't know why Disney bothers building rides anymore, they have it just the way they want it, wall-to-wall crowds in themed shopping and drinking districts with grossly inflated prices.

It is their annual tradition to try and undermine F&W by making snarky comments unsupported by facts. Three blind mice.

Monorail related pukings will be up 78% tonight. Nothing says high class like getting tore up at a theme park, and Having personally been on the monorail in which 3 middle age and rather rotund women decided they could no longer hold their liquor is an experience that screams unforgettable magic.

It was just about the best weather in the past 6 months. France to Germany was almost NYE level crowded.

Quick grab of the backup at the toll plaza with everyone being sent to the one lane turnaround.

The plaza is on the right side.

I enjoy a few drinks as much as the next person - but I just don't understand the attraction of drinking to the point of getting wasted in WS when drinks run 10-15+ a pop. I guess I'm too cheap.

That pic is insane. I wonder what it's going to be like in Dec.

This was at around 4:30. Canada facing showcase plaza. Typical for a F+W weekend nowadays

They ought to consider extending F&W onto the Boardwalk, all along the pathway.

And NO Florida NCAA football teams playing this weekend.
