I went ages ago for about 10 days, when I heard that President Obama was going to the magic kingdom park and the park would be partially shut (the day before this was to happen) - I said to my family - lets go at the same time. the place was almost empty - woo, everything was open with little to no queues another thing that happened was the castle and dining - aparently you're supposed to book ages in advance to dine there (6-9months or so) my missues did ask me about a year before we went about this and I said don't bother... but typical me when I got there I was like wow - lets dine there. My missues was not happy and recited our previous conversation and explained again (through gritted teeth) about the waiting list. I said they must have cancellations etc.. she did go up and they said not really but if you wait something may pop up She waited 15min on her own and when I caught up - she said loads of people were being turned away with the same response as her (not really but if you wait something may pop up) I shrugged and just waited about 5mins more. then person on the desk said we could go in - woo, loved it it to pieces Our extended family (loads of us went) was royaly pissed at us just going in without booking - we may have just got lucky though YMMV
