We just returned from OKW. I was amazed as to the amount of people checking in on 10/19. Magic Kingdom was sooooooo crowded on Friday night. It was like being at MK on a Saturday in the summer. I really was surprised to the amount of crowds. I believe there was more people visiting WDW this week then previously noted. If this continues they will have to increase the hours to accomodate everyone. Hopefully, they will add E-night back. Even though it was crowded, I was so pleased to see everyone continuing with their lives. It is nice to continue our freedom. Many people wearing red, white and blue and displaying some type of patriotism.
We had a great time even though I had the same feelings that you are having. It was nice to get away from everything for a little while. My children really needed the break too. Now I guess I'm back to reality. Have a magical time!!!!!:sohappy:
