Before free dining, that was a very good time to go. The difference now is going to be something like this. Before the free dining, your typical wait time for the best rides during that time of year were no more than 20-30 minutes. In many cases, there was no wait at all. With the free dining, your wait times will get up to 50-60 with rarely a chance at no wait at all, although, for the most part, you probably won't have to wait much more than 20-30 minutes for most rides. Still a lot better than 90+ minutes you will see during the summer months. The Night of Joy weekend is the 5-6th of September. That will have a minimal effect on your crowds. Expect to see a lot of very young children and tourists whose kids are not in school.
