My guess would be Philharmagic. On even moderately busy days, Philharmagic's line is a disaster. It really is too small and actually poorly designed for both holding large amounts of people and for ease in actually finding the entrance to the queue (both Standby and Fastpass queues) when it starts to 'overflow'. The area between the carousel is hardly enough room for overflow lines, not to mention people are trying to move through that area and they pile strollers up along the route. Having the Sword in the Stone show would only make congestion problems even worse.

Here's hoping they are working on some type of remedy to the queue problems of Philharmagic...with 94% of guests ranking the attraction as Excellent (one of the highest ratings for any Disney attraction)...the lines are probably going to stay long for some time....(In fact, I know quite a few folks who think Philharmagic is now THE best attraction in the whole park and make it a point to see it several times on one trip to the MK )

It's spring break time, crowds have already picked up majorly over the past week. It's been much busier than usual, not that there's anything wrong with that!

Yes, PhilharMagic's line was wrapped all around tink's treasures to the smoking area between the castle and tink's treasures. And that was the FastPass line.:lol: FastPass... only 45min.:lol:

It's also nice to know that PhilharMagic is doing well for the park.

When I went in October...the line was all the way back to the walkway through the castle. (Yes, this was the standby, not the FastPass).

Note to Disney: Put in a little bakery that just sells pie at the exit!!! :lol:

Man there goes my vacation!! :lol:

It's great that Philharmagic is so successful, yet poor that the queue area is an utter mess, so much so that it must cancel one of those "extra special" things that enhance that magic if you're a part of it.

Not that I have ever seen the presentation, but little things like that can make a vacation extra special.

But they must do what they fell they must do.

(That area was at a standstill almost everyday during Christmas/New Years week.)

BIG note to Disney: Open up the INDOOR unused portions of Fantasyland theater queue.

 

[Shaman]

Great and here I am thinking that there wouldn't be big crowds the 28th.....

:hammer:

What I like to tell guest in how they can figure out if its going to be crowed or not is like this...

If you are off from work/school then its crowed, if your not then its not.

But that is a funny show, I only watched it once but it was still funny.

MY fav thing about phillharmagic is when it lets out, we end up just chilling in the gift show a few minutes until the crowes die down some, otherwise its VERY easy to lose your group when all the people leaving the ride meet with the people that are just walking around outhere

Whew!

I'm glad I go off-season! Last December/November, we walked right in about 5 minutes before show time! No line at all, just walked in and sat down, though I sort of wish there was a line! I loved looking at all the posters in the indoor que area! It really felt like an updated, "Disneyfied" version of the San Diego Coply Symphony hall!

It's a great show - only... EVERY GUY IN THE THEATER THOUGH ARIEL WAS HOT! Maybe they did too good on that one.

Early Spring Breakers, perhaps? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Pixie Duster]

One of the many reasons we are really crowded lately is the Canadian spring break.

I am sure jokes to follow.

hmm on the 11th round 5pm Phillar was a walk-on (and it was excellent Indeed)
