Both. It's seasonal, so it's opening during the major holiday seasons. Good to see Body Wars with a 20 minute wait though.

Those wait times are ridiculous! I can't even imagine waiting that long for Mission: SPACE, or even Test Track. How were lines on the West Side though? Did JIIwF actually have a wait? :lol:

Wow, i seriously hope that the crowds won't be that bad next week. I only get to go once a year, and to have it that crowded is just...ugh. Well at least the seasonal rides/pavilions will be open, i'm looking forward to taking a lot of pictures .

still hoping for the best,

WOW!

My parents surprised me this afternoon with a nice Easter trip to WDW...

Boy, are we gonna have fun with these crowds!!

I think this "back to normal" at Disney World. The Easter weeks (the two weeks around Easter) have always been the biggest weeks, and Christmas has come to be the same way. What has been different, perhaps, are two things: the domestic tourist slump that really had not recovered until recently; and the capacity of Walt Disney World hotels and surrounding hotels. They are at very high levels, compared to before Pop Century and Gaylord Palms. Last year, the Disney Institute was gone, and half of Port Orleans was closed. Not to mention the newer hotels at Universal.

So, all the way around, hotel capacity is up again at the same time that families are vacationing again. Add this to Easter Spring Breaks nationwide, and it is back to normal sold-out business for Disney parks at Easter.

More like 75 - 90min.
StandBy is running 2-3 hours.
FastPass is running 45-60min.
FastPasses have been running out for the day at 11am

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad I'm NOT at Disney (now) :veryconfu

...but I will be soon enough

 

[One Lil Spark]

The sad part is, I would wait 20 minutes for JIYIwF, but I wouldn't wait 2 hours for TT or M:S. I'm warped, I know! :hammer:

 

[PhotoDave219]

No, whats sad is that i wouldnt wait for a 10 minute line for ANYTHING back in January.

Epcot has been pseudo nuts, nowhere as bad as MK. However attendance at MK & EC seemed to drop like a rock come 6ish. Which suited me just fine....

 

[ISTCrew20]

I was told Animal Kingdom closed to guests at 1pm today, and almost every single attendance record everywhere in the park has been broken.

Told by who? There are a lot of rumors floating around, and what phase were you told they were at?

I was told by a friend of mine who works at the Safari. He is a member on the boards, and I'll let him know about this thread tomorrow, so he can give you all the details. He just mentioned it, so I dont know what phase they were at or anything.

What have the wait times been like for big rides at the other parks?
