I've been watching crowd levels for several weeks as we want to go next year sometime around now, and Monday's have been the busiest day of the week so the rest of the week might be better. We went beginning of May a few years ago and it was busier than predicted then too.
Define "crowded: " lots of people shoulder to shoulder, or long wait times? Disney is smart enough to adjust staffing and ride capacity to match the crowd size, so you can expect consistent wait times whether the park is full or empty.
because nobody really chimed in yet. this may be a busy week due to the Cheerleading Summit.Why are the parks so crowed today?
I thought early May was supposed to be lower crowd levels?
Is there something going on the first week of May?
Where does this chart come from? I'm curious if they have this data for other times of year, or if it was just created for recent dates.Average waits across WDW today are the highest they’ve been the last 2 weeks, but still lower than where they were over Spring Break weeks:

However all the parks are crowded.
Wait times are really up from what I expected for early May.
I guess all the Vlogs telling people early May was least crowded, packed the parks?
