Crowd Pictures

[Matt71]

A lot of people ask what the crowds are like at certain times, and a lot of people offer answers. However, crowded for one person might not be crowded for someone else. IMO, the best way to gauge if a park is too crowded for you is to actaully see for yourself. So, I'd like people to post crowd pictures that show how crowded the parks have been for you.

When possible, be sure to include the location, date and time the picture was taken.

We were at WDW Spring Break week last year and had no troubles despite the crowds. of course that's all subjective, so here are some crowd pics that might help you determine for yourself.

Man, I've gotten spoiled going to Disney in early February. I think I would just turn around and go back if I saw those crowds. Guess I'm not that hard-core.

I'll be sure to post crowd pics when we get back.

YOU SAID IT!!!!!! I can't imagine crowds like that. I just can't justify spending most of my vacation in lines and dealing with crowds like that. I'll stick with my Jan. dates!!!

WOW....was the whole park like that? How about all the parks that time you were there....

That looks like something you would see if you got in early for a CP breakfast...amazing

 

[Lynn5700]

I would actually like to see pics of wait times....You just never know about crowds, a show could have let out, anything....wait times tell the story for me....unless there is 3 people in your pic at 3 PM in fromt of the castle....

 

[alternativepirate]

wow. Matt71 your picture from the top of SM is pretty good to me! Its a neat look at things. Considering you don't have too much time when you are up there!

Thanks for sharing

Yeah it was not crowded at all LOL. We like ran onto every ride. It was so nice. It was a Wednesday and I find that MK is not as busy on a Wednesday. IDK why though. That night watching the fireworks was so nice too. People were not on each others laps there was plenty of breathing room.

The other parks were about the same. May is a very nice time to go. We were there from the 5-14.. going this May from the 3-12. can't wait. Oh and it did not rain once. Not a drop. Love it.

Easter was March 23rd, so there was a full week inbetween. I guess the week before we got there was even more crowded

 

[Lynn5700]

This was May 10th...don't remember the time but I know it was afternoon.

This was May 9th around 4ish...I was picking up a shirt for Tim at Mouse gear for him to wear to the P&PP that night and took this pic on the monorail.

I can't find the pic I took of the wait times

Please, oh please, tell me that is either right before or right after a parade.

 

[Matt71]

Looks like it was shortly after the parade, but it was also 2 days before Easter.

I have pics of ride wait times, but wanted to stick to crowd pics since the average wait times for rides are available elsewhere. I'd never seen a thread dedicated to crowd pics.

It looks like early may is a much better time to go than late March

This post is extremely helpful. I've never been in February, but everyone suggested it to me. Does anyone have crowd pictures from February?

Hoping to see pictures the week before Memorial Day!
