Just got back on Saturday, crowds are back and it’s two weeks from the 50th!
Just finished up 6 days at WDW (9/13 to 9/19). Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios were very busy! I did not visit Animal Kingdom. Friday was a Boo Bash day and Magic Kingdom was shoulder-to-shoulder busy. If those crowds were not considered “crowded”, I would not want to see what is considered crowded.
