MK is at Phase 4 capacity (Merged Threads)

Was just there for the week 4/5 - 4/10 and the crowds were awful. It felt like we were packed in like sardines. All parks were packed by early morning to the point that you could not move. I spoke with a cast member at the MK on Wed. and she told me that the park had been at peak crowed Mon. Tues. and they were expecting 74,000 for Wed. and it felt like it.

I listened to some very bad advice and did not do the morning extra hours thinking crowds would be at the other parks with EMH - I was wrong.

Advice to those newb’s who are foolish enough to go during the peek season. Take advantage of morning extra magic hours. We did get to do the EMH for the MK and were able to ride/see most of the attractions before 9am and had FP to all the Mountains to ride a second time.

I think that most people on these boards would suggest that you DO take advantage of AM EMH, then when the park starts getting hot and crowded go back to your hotel/park hop/etc. My family likes to sleep in so it is nearly impossible to get them up that early.. even at Disney!

Easter Week is always busy, isn't it??? I am sure this year was helped by the 4/3 promotion, especially in this tough economic time... But, I am still glad to hear the parks are packed..

From all that I read the crowds this past week were nuts. I'm sure it's a combination of Easter week and the 4/3 special. Either way I'm glad I wasn't there this week

Im glad I didn't go that day. I went that wed and it was crazy crowded and then on friday it wasn't bad at all

We were there from 4/4-4/11 and I didn't think the crowds were any worse than any other spring break trip I've ever taken to Disney. (But keep in mind that I'm a teacher so we always go at the busiest times - fall and spring breaks and in the summer). The days we did MK we did make sure to be there at 6:45 - which actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - and we thought the place seemed empty until 10am or so. Of course, we were also travelling with toddlers so we didn't do the Mountains or any of the thrill rides at the other parks. I was expecting to just be miserable all week and was actually pleasantly surprised.

We didn't think Friday was bad either. The waits for the Fantasyland attractions seemed to hover at 25-60 minutes most of the late afternoon.
