Just posted a really interesting article to the front page about queuing at Disney parks.

apparently the crowds ( and lines) in DL over the last two days have been unimaginable... something like 100,000 people in the two parks combined was estimated. Not even premium pass holders were being let in at one stage. They reached record crowd levels in DCA as well.

Under those conditions, forget the lines for the rides, you wouldn't even be able to walk down Main Street. That bunker would have been like a mad house trying to solve that kind of gridlock.

Just wondering how the bunker is coping with crowds like this photo of New Orleans Square about two hours ago....

off the scale I'd say... no way would I be visiting on a day that even threatened to be this crowded... you'd lose all the magic in about 23 seconds flat I reckon. The wait times are really horrifying ....

Does it get this bad at WDW at this time of the year as well, given that they have more space to spread out?

Wow! That photo is insane - reminds me of Tokyo, but at least in Tokyo, the park is designed for crazy crowds. That's would get on my nerves in no time.

yeah, when I visited TDL it was over Halloween and the crowds were pretty full on, but I honestly never felt jostled or crammed in or had anyone push in front EVER. I bet thats not the case in DL at the moment :wink:

I've also been keeping on eye on those pictures and they are just incredible crowds. Our youngest is leaving today on a school trip and they're at DL on Sunday (1 day, another topic for another time :evil: ), and I think they'll cop the same. I'd like to see this planning in action though.

Perhaps Anthony we could start a thread " trip countdowns for family members and I'm not going with them". Glenda leaves in 2 weeks for WDW
