During the night show “Happily Ever After”,WDW seriously lost control of the crowd. We were walking to Tomorrow Land and everyone just stopped in all the paths, including bridges. All paths were completely blocked. If there had been a medical emergency, nothing could have been done.
It was awful. An off duty cast member said she had never seen crowds like that.
And then getting back to the car! It was nearly two hours from the moment we chose to leave and when we arrived at our car. The only had one ferry running, a monorail broke down in the afternoon.
When we visited MK in July the crowds seemed far bigger than when we last visited
I remember MK as a child and in our last holiday as being a beautiful, tranquil place etc. Yes it had queues for popular rides but apart from that you would walk around and feel that it was a really pleasant place to be
Maybe the park is a victim of their own success etc. But in July certain areas were just swamped with people. Many just sat on the floor eating food or resting etc it was so busy.
I looked around me and thought this is more like Blackpool Pleasure Beach on a busy day than Magic Kingdom! (UK posters will know what I mean)
On days like that it certainly seems to lose the magic effect and just seems manic instead
We always go in July or August and I’ve never thought it was anything like Blackpool Pleasure Beach!! It’s very crowded but it never loses its magic for me. Except trying to get out after the fireworks.
We were in the park Sunday and the crowds were such that it became difficult to get from A to B. we decided not to wait for the show, A monorail train was also broken down as we left the park around 6 PM, We only witnessed one ferry, never realised that there were two
Not sure on Blackpool, but certainly Oxford Street on the wrong day.
I’ve heard horror stories about the Brazilian tour groups so many times! Are they just huge groups that travel together or what? Any particular times of year?
January and July are their months. They can be huge, loud and annoying. But they move slowly, so you can generally get around them. They chant a lot so it’s not fun to be in an enclosed space with them.
