crowds in may?

[mallaeus]

Hi everyone.
We are considering going back to the magic for a week next year on the 7th of may. Does anyone know how busy it will be? and what kind of queues to expect?
We went this year 25th september to 9th october and it was ok most queues were about 10 - 20 mins but sometimes got up half an hour.
Thanks lee

About the same Lee. I love going in May :) Kids are still in school, spring break is over and the weather is beautiful :) Not to mention the Flower and Garden festival

Hello lee,

My DS9 and I are planning on May - we will be there the same time as you so we are also hoping for small queues! :)

We would love to meet up with anyone who will be there at the same time as us - love to make friends!

My family's first trip was May 4 - 11 in 2003. The weather was beautiful. It was unseasonably hot the week we were there - it was around 100 everyday - but no rain!!! :rotfl:

The crowds were extremely manageable. The longest we waited for anything was about 15 minutes and that was for Dumbo.

Have a great trip!

Great time of year.................beautiful weather, low humidity. :sunny:
Mothers Day in the US is mid - May so that particular day may be a little busier .........the last weekend of May is Memorial weekend (same w/e as the UK bank holiday) and thats when crowds start to increase but you'll miss that..........you've picked a perfect week! :bigsmile:

May has been getting busier the past few years. I've gone the last three Mays and May '04 was the busiest of the three. That said, my longest lines were 20 minutes

I know I should know this because I am a mother - but when exactly is Mother's Day? 2nd Sunday in May? (We do the same day as the US in Australia, so I should know...) :shrug:

Is there a particular park that's better or worse? If it is the 2nd Sunday, I had tentatively planned that as our first day at Universal - good idea/bad idea?

I suppose I should probably get round to posting my tentative itinerary for approval and scrutiny! :D
