It’s planned to run along World Dr, ending at Epcot.

After working in Fantasyland last year this is what Fantasyland looks like everyday.

Should, yes. Spring break is over for most of the country on Sunday.

I was going to say, this has really become normal many days of the year. It's also spring breaks so not sure why its news that its a bit busier than everyday. People always think its the "busiest" when they go but the reality is that its, more than not, the "busiest" everyday anymore.
Omg what are they giving stuff away for free?!
Oh wait...
Oh wait...

Those people look like they're having a BLAST! Hopefully they report back to their friends and family that WDW is "Too crazy! Too crowded! Don't bother!" Some good old-fashioned bad word-of-mouth will lower these crowds

How many times have you been to the parks this year?

If this was too my response I was talking more about the jammed pack walkways and strollers in Fantasyland.

For the people with small kids, how do your kids hold up when standing in line for hours for a two minute ride. I can't imagine that going over well.

This is just absolutely not worth it. Your entire day in the park could feasibly be spent waiting in line for and then riding 2 or 3 attractions, all while Disney charges you $120+ for the privilege.
It doesn't matter how many times @Kman101 has been this year. Or anybody else, really. We have access to wait times in the park at our fingertips, so it's pretty easy to tell that this is much busier than normal. A 2.5 hour wait for Space and a 3.5 hour wait for Mine Train are not every day occurrences. A 40 minute wait for the Peoplemover likely means that hell has frozen over.

There is no "slow" time at WDW any longer. Due to short staffing/ running less rides to increase lines during "slower" times, or just flat out being inundated with huge crowds ( currently spring break), the idea of "slower" no longer exists. Now, I will say this in response to my own observation. Because I just did it so I know its possible. Get your rear end up early if on property and use EMH in the AM. Over 3 days...EPEMH AM 8AM: Went to Frozen, Did Soarin, Test Track, MS, Land all before1030 and without FPs Saved the FPs for evening at AK.
MKEMH 7AM- 7 Dwarves, Pan, POC, JC, BTMRR, HM all done by 930 then did a few other things till 1045 or so, left, went to the pool, saved FPs for Epcot that evening.
AKEMH 7AM- In the parking lot at 610 AM, on FOP at 705, done by 715, line for FOP was now already 60 minutes, went and did Everest, Chester, Safari and got a great vid of the lioness stalking the male lion and pouncing on him, dinosaur...all done by 945. Break time and saved FPs for MK that evening.
Regardless of crowds, if you are willing to get up early for EMH on property or at a springs resort, you can accomplish a TON with minimal to no waits and still have a great day left to enjoy.

LOL, you beat me to it, Batman! I was going to comment on all the strained, unhappy faces at WDW. Where are all the easy going smiles? I would never go to WDW this time of year; don't do well in mega crowds.
