Buzz Lightyear was a 15 minute wait at 4pm... then some of the FL attractions were walk ons. Crowds for the 7pm parade were spread out so there was plenty of room to maneuver. Watch the heat though, it's hot walking around on that pavement. Don't hesitate to go into Coke Corner or the Blue Ribbon Bakery for a small snack... they'll give you a good size cup of free iced water. So go tomorrow... be prepared for the heat and have fun!

I know there are a lot of school already out but I the majority of the public schools in my area are still in. Oh well, we'll see what happens tomorrow. Three hours at DL is better than nothing

Originally Posted By BoyStory We were there Monday and Tuesday. It was pretty darned crowded. That 75 minute wait on Tuesday for Splash at 3:00pm that you see courtesy of Darkbeer's photo turned to 90 minutes by that evening. It sounds like it was a lot less crowded by the next day (Wed0? Maybe b/c more AP's are blocked off? I see newie is already there today so I'll just post this for anyone else who was curious ;-)
Originally Posted By SuzieQ 90 is pretty typical for Splash. It frequently hits 120 at the height of summer.
Originally Posted By BoyStory YIKES! 2 hour wait!^^^ That might be cool if you have AP's and your hangin' out with friends talking while you're in line- not fun when you have squirmy little kids, LOL. This is why we do not go to DL during summer. But again, if I didn't have my kids with me that might be a different story though;- Splash was down to 35 minutes by the time we returned later on Tues.....at 11:00 pm, LOL. We had FP's so it was basicly walk on by then. Good thing 'cause my 5 yr old was practicly sleep-walking by then
