What's crowded for you?

[Michael-de]

Hi from germany,
there are a lot of postings concerning crowds during special Months/Dates and it's always said: it's crowded, or it's not so crowded. Here my question: what exactly means crowded to you? Here is what i think:

Waiting Time:
10 Mins or less: great
10-20 Mins: ok
20-30 Mins: acceptable
30-45 Mins: for special e-rides ok (at this time it starts to call it crowded in my opinion)
45-60 Mins: i will think about doing it
60 Mins+: no attraction is worth to stay in line for more then 60 mins (except IOA/s Spiderman (sorry to mention that attraction in this forum)), i haven't done M:S yet, so maybe there will be one more.

My last visit to WDW was in January 2000 and we had lines on e-rides about 10 mins and less. On other rides it was a run through. We have never used FP.

So what do you think i have to expect during my next visit in the first two weeks of october this year?

Thanks and best wishes from germany
Michael

Hi Michael.
I am a little stricter then you on crowds. I say any waits over 30 minutes is crowded. On really slow days we get spoiled and pass up waits over 20 minutes!
I'll be there the beginning of October also and am hoping for low to medium crowds. 20-30 minute waits. That is my hope anyway!
Have fun! '
23 days for me!!!:sohappy:

IMHO, anything more than 75 minutes is "crowded." More than 120 is absurd. 30 or less is uncrowded.

We only travel through peak times such as Easter week, Christmas and New Years week, 4th of July, and mid November during the NJ Teachers Convention--pretty much any time when schools are out and sports are not practicing. Therefore, it is always crowded!!

However, we will not wait for anything more than 45 minutes. He use FASTPASS quite often, leave the parks by 12, go back around 5, leave later at night, and we manage everything lots and lots of times. So granted the crowds are annoying, but we know how to maneuver around them and make the most out of evberything. The crowds dont faze us b/c we are pros and know what to do, haha.:xmas:

Depending on the ride, if its like Rn'RC, or TT, M:S, Splash & Space Mountain, BTMR, those kinda things, I'll wait up to 70 mins for those, but anything else, probably only about 20-30 max
