I hope those numbers decrease! Don't want the MSEP and Fantasmic! to get cancelled!
I saw that this morning too! 10/21 was our Illuminations/Epcot WS day, so I felt your pain. BUT, just checked weather channel's 10-day and it's back down to a 20% chance both days -HA! Too funny, we'll see I guess?!?Just looked at the ten day forecast and do not like the 60-70% chance of rain for next Monday and Tuesday.

Just wanted to let everyone know, we were at Epcot last night for our VN ADR and it was INSANE!! I know people had said that F&W was crazy on the weekends and they weren't kidding. We didn't wait in any of the long lines bc we were headed for dinner. We are planning to go tomorrow instead. I'm so glad now I didn't plan on my F&W experience to be be on the weekend ( at night anyway) maybe it was better during the day.
I would compare the crowds to July 4th!!!!! It may have been worse.
So if it's your first time doing F&W and you're not planning on staying long, avoid the weekends.
Something else I noticed, it is really crowded this weekend in general. There were long standby waits at HS yesterday too. We have APs but don't stay onsite, so don't get FP+, which I think really negatively affected us this weekend. At HS yesterday the only thing I wanted to do was TSM. We got there at 9:30 ( it was EMH) and the return time for FP was 7:20! We couldn't come back bc of our ADR at Epcot. We waited for 1 hour and 40 min. I have NEVER waited an hour for a ride before bc we always use FP. I admit it was bad planning on my part. We were winging it this trip bc we just came back and are going again in December. Yesterday was the only day we had for HS bc of my limited ADRs.
Hope this helps someone!! We are having a blast anyway. We are renting boats this afternoon and going to Ohana's tonight. Both surprises for our DSs!!!

I looked at the weather channel app earlier today and saw that it was 70% chance of rain for Monday and Tuesday and was wondering how much it would change. Pretty funny that it's already back down to 20%! I'm just throwing ponchos in our carry on and packing extra shoes in case they get wet and rolling with it. 4 days for us!!
All these reports about crazy insane crowds, broken monorails, thunder storms....this is not what I wanted to hear for my elderly parents' first trip!
