It seems there have been so many threads on crowds lately. I think basically it boils down to the fact that there is no more slow time at Disney. If you are going to go, you are going to deal with crowds. Except maybe September, but people are saying even that was crowded. It is either crowded or really crowded. Disney is adding more and more "special stuff" to drive up crowds, and is working well
. Holiday parties, fireworks, food and wine, marathons, discounted dining, villain parties, candlelight processional etc. Throw in Holidays, school break, Jersey week etc. and there is no slow time.
