Just letting y'all know that I think we hit the sweet spot with lower crowds during the castle show tonight. We had tried a week ago and crowds were horrible so we left, knowing we had more times to try. Granted, that was the Sunday before thanksgiving week, but it was still far worse than I expected. This time, again on a Sunday, we decided to shoot for the second show instead of the first. We had tried the first before and couldn't get close to the castle even well before the show. (We were going to have to wait more than one show to actually see it and it was not pleasant in that crowd!) This time, we figured we would shoot for just after 6:15. (We were told the first show was at 6:15 when we went the week before so figure it would be a little earlier now). We arrived to lots and lots of people coming out after their show and got great spots less than five minutes before the next show. Though it was a lower crowd day, I think it also helped that it wasn't the first show and it was a bit on the early side for all of the post-parade rush to get over there. Crowds were quite manageable and the TM's did a good job of herding people tonight.
