1st week of summer vacation here as well, school doesn't start until after labor day in MI.
SPace Mountain and People Mover tend to be up and down frequently during the day. Go ride something else and go back to them in an hour or two, they'll likely be running and back to normal.Space Mt and people moved down. Crowds BAD.
I can't say am too surprised it is crowded, since a lot of schools where we live are out for the summer starting this week.
Plus don't forget, a lot of people booked their vacations before knowing when Toy Story Land would open, with wide speculation that it would be around Memorial Day (the opening-day announcement was not made in mid-February), and even after that and until very recently, there was a lot of speculation that there would be "soft openings" in the last two weeks of June.
Still, that sucks to hear, and sorry you are dealing with that!
School here doesn't end until Friday (two more days!)WOW, we've been out for a month LOL
Heck, our summer is half way over, we got back first week in August.

Out of curiosity, are you hitting parks with extra magic hours or are you avoiding those parks?We’re here now and have been since 6/15. I’ve actually been really surprised at how manageable the crowds are. We haven’t waited in a single line more than 15 minutes, between utilizing EMH/rope drop and FP. I’ve been able to get FP for almost everything but have done quite a bit of rope drop standby lines. We have done pretty much every headliner in every park at least once, some twice. I have not seen or felt wall to wall people, even in Pandora. It’s been a great week!
We hit AK during EMH twice and stayed until lunch, hit HS in the evening when it had EMH in the morning, and hit Epcot during EMH at night today (it really did not feel crowded to me at all there!). We do not have Thursday or Friday park days so we did not hit Epcot or MK during morning EMH but did rope drop both.Out of curiosity, are you hitting parks with extra magic hours or are you avoiding those parks?
What does shock me is the ability of the CM to not go off on some of them. I don't have half their restraint. And when I have encountered some of these guests, I don't hold back. There's no need to treat the CM the way I have seen some do. These CM are never the one responsible for whatever the situation is. Usually, it's the guest making it happen to themselves.

I've never understood rudeness in the most magical place in the world. I can't stop smiling when I am there. First world problems people!!Rudeness of guests stopped shocking me a long time ago. Sadly. People have lost all since of politeness. What does shock me is the ability of the CM to not go off on some of them. I don't have half their restraint.

If you haven't done it yet, move on down towards BOG, just before you get to LM ride. There's usually a Photopass Photographer hanging around during HEA and they'll grab shots of you with the fireworks going off with the Beast castle behind you. Beautiful shots and often no one else watching back there. It's our favorite spot to catch the fireworks. They are so much better there. You miss the projections of course but make up for it by improved fireworks..
Granted, it's a given that this is the peak time at MK, on any given day. We vacate the park during that time even on slow days.
Bunch of PA schools ended Friday so this would be the first full week off.
Yes, we booked our June 3- 13 vacation thinking Toy Story Land would be open. Also hoped for soft openings, but got nothing. I didn't think it was horribly busy until the last couple days of our trip though.I can't say am too surprised it is crowded, since a lot of schools where we live are out for the summer starting this week.
