Mobile How busy was it last week?

I am interested to hear from anyone who was there last week - Monday 13th onwards - what they thought of the crowd levels. What would you say the wait time was for major rides such as BTM, Ratatouille, SM etc?

We were there 14th-17th and thought it was the busiest Feb half term we've experienced, we've done 4 or 5 now.

I'm not sure if the Season of the Force stuff has brought in more visitors than usual or the ride closures made it feel more congested? !

BTM had a lot of issues, it was down frequently and lines were super long, managed to get on it by joining the rope drop dash at 10:05 one morning, when we got off the wait time was 135 mins We were at DLH so used our hotel FP's for it everyday and got additional FP's from the machines, that said on 17th it was down so much they gave a lot of fast passes out and everyone piled back to the queue around 5pm when it was running again, the line went all the way back past the main ride entrance and was over an hours wait for fast pass.

SM and Pirates both closed for refurb.

Studios felt packed but this may be the Star Wars stuff, which we felt was ok but way over hyped, we have done Star Wars Weekends at WDW so may just be spoilt.

We still had a great time but it took more planning than usual, we managed a lot of character meets, it felt like running a military operation at times to make it happen

edit: single rider was as long as an hour for Ratatouille, Parachute Drop and RC Racer, if you timed it right later in the afternoon these dropped to about 25 mins.

Check out the "Theme Park Tools" - "Theme Park Wait Times" - "Theme Park Crowd Level History"

It has Disneyland Park and the Studios.

It looks like it was quite busy.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping it would be relatively quiet but it sounds anything but. Don't think I'll consider Feb half term for next year.

its not quite so bad, crowd-wise, if you can avoid the French Zone C (Greater Paris) area holidays -

about-france/school-holidays.htm

but January-March each year is refurb season at DLP, there are more closures in that 3 months than at any other time of the year generally.

I heard a suggestion that it was rather busier than usual this year because of the Season of the Force, and this being the only school holiday that fell within its dates. Obviously no confirmation yet whether they'll repeat Season of the Force next year.
