I went to Epcot and HS yesterday.
areas existed where you could set off a b#mb and nobody would be hurt. RotR was a ten minute call back for my friends DAS. Idk if it was extra magic or after hours event, but Epcot was DEAD after 9 pm on our way back to cars after exiting the skyliner. Employees standing at attraction entrances looking bored. It had to be costing them gobs of money to stay open.
Yet wait times were listed as 80 minutes for major attractions yet were moving at a brisk pace on standby even
Someone make it make sense for me

High summer is a great time to go. Avoid the few days around Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and you won't see crowds anything like central Florida for the most part.

Thanks again. Sapphire Falls is much more reasonable and it has a water taxi. Since we aren't really big coaster people, I think maybe for us we would just purchase the unlimited express pass for one day for either IOA or Epic if we go when it's open and spend the other 2 days just enjoying the parks and riding what we can get ride.

Sapphire Falls is lovely, I think you will very much enjoy it. Do some research between now and then, and see if the Express pass is needed at all. I havent really ever had a problem without it on any trips that I havent purchased it or gotten it as part of my hotel package stay. Epic might be worth it for Express Pass depending on the ride line up and what will be included with the pass. Have a wonderful time!!! Marie

I posted a photo here from my trip in November. Space 80 minutes posted. Literally a walk on. The Genie lane was longer. Checked when we exited and still the same.
. I agree. Make it make sense

To follow up: we’re going in June about three weeks after the park opens for the season. Cost of Fastlane plus?
Don’t care. No wait or minimal compared to Disney? Not even a decision.

There's a legit chance you won't even need it. I've gone in that timeframe and it's been nothing more than 15 minute waits. BUT, here's the amazing part. Unless you are going an insanely busy weekend, you will be able to show up, determine if the fastlane is worth it based on the wait times, and then go and purchase. You aren't forced to make that decision before you even arrive (like I said, unless you go like the 4th weekend when you know it's beyond packed and they could sell out)

That's what happens when you have 70 attractions and shows in one park.
As far as Fastlane goes, you will need it this season anytime you go if you want to ride Top Thrill 2. It's going to have a 2-3 hour wait daily

Yep, I’ve been reading a cedar point fan forum but as noted below I very well might need it base on Top Thrill 2.

Interestingly Bob said on the Morgan Stanley interview:
I’m just curious where all the extra revenue year on year is coming from?
It also begs the question whether they are really that bothered by attendance as they start to lap their attendance drops in Q3? They are still growing operating income somehow.
Or maybe DLR is just doing all the work?
I might have also Interpreted it as both domestic and international are projected to be up this quarter, but maybe it’s craftily worded and actually about both in totality, since he then seems to go and outline negative trends in WDW. In which case maybe it’s the favorable Asian parks performances?

It looks like that every single night during/after the fireworks.
When the company who has all the numbers says attendance is/was down, BELIEVE THEM.
"Attendance isn't down!!!" *shows picture immediately after fireworks show at Main Street choke point*
Come on, man, you can do better than that. I was there 2 weeks ago. Your pic isn't different from any other night, and the crowds weren't there when I was there, at the end of President's Week plus the Princess Half weekend and most of the next week.
