I don't doubt that it's crowded today. But you can go in on almost any given day and take a photo of a chokepoint that looks like this... Hard to say how crowded it actually is based on that.
How do you know the figures? Doesn't Phase 1 closing typically occur before that?Park attendance is at 80k today...if that's not crowded then idk what is.

Has it been lighter on party days? I've been wondering if the huge increase in the number of party days has significantly upped the attendance on non-party days at MK, and upped the attendance at the other 3 parks on party days.MK cast member, Phase 1 is usually around 90k.

I was there Saturday too, and actually went to 3 parks. All were packed by noon, although MK was pretty empty first thing in the morning.I was at MK last Saturday, the 8th, in the evening. Total mob scene. It was one of the few non-party days and the park extended their hours to midnight a few weeks prior to my arrival. It was initially 10p, then moved to 11p, then midnight.
I didn’t stay very long. Dinner at CHH, then Tiki and Country Bears. In Country Bears we were shoulder to shoulder, was a packed show.
I broke my own rule that I set for myself a few years ago.....no MK on Saturdays! I obviously reinstated that rule for my next trip
To add some real data other than “OMG NEVER AGAIN! I WAS TRAMPLED!”

While it may surprise some as it is only 12/16, MK and Epcot seem pretty manageable tonight and all four parks seem “normal”. DHS and DAK just don’t have enough rides to manage any crowds. August is really the only quiet season anymore, but you can still get on rides this week, especially early.
In regard to some reports here, I would never step foot in MK on a Saturday any week of the year, especially not during Party season. Actually I’d never set foot in MK on a non-party night, but I have the luxury of seeing HEA at different times of year.
I'm a bit baffled that out of all the wait times.....Epcot Character Spot is at 100 Mins......Really?
Going to Magic Kingdom on a party day before 6 pm is actually extremely pleasant I must say.Party day attendence is usually low since everyone who is attending the party comes in at 4, once everyone leaves they usually head to Epcot for F&W/HATW. The big draw for the upped attendence on non-party nights is HEA.
Late April is pretty nice too. Went 3rd week of April this year, after the spring break/Easter crowds had all died down, and it was pleasant.August is really the only quiet season anymore
