Do you think the crowds are gonna be insane in late September

Erin · 08-12-2006

because of the free dining?

I'm beginning to get kinda bummed, instead of excited. I DON'T wanna fight crazy-long lines.

Totally bummed.

I don't think they are going to be insane. I think it's going to be an average crowd. September is still value season with low attendance, free dining or not. It's just not a good month for travel with most kids just getting back to school. I wouldn't worry to much Erin. If you run into crowds, you know how to beat them by hitting the parks at rope drop and getting on those popular attractions first. It's going to be just fine!

Ummmm did someone say, free food?

TELL ME MORE!

MYW packages include free dining for that time frame if you were one of the lucky ones who booked it before the due date of I want to say June 20something.

Thank you, Dana. I was just stressing it - but, I bet you're right. It's just gonna be an average crowd for September...

Ok. I'm breathing easier.

If it's an insane crowd, I'll do all those things you just said, like getting up early, and all that.

You are going to be fine. I understand your panic, but think the only place you are going to see any kind of crowds is at the restaurants. People who don't normally do TS meals are going to be doing them due to the free dining. It's going to be fine. Yes, do the things I said should the crowds look bigger than expected. Stay away from EMH if you can. They are where the crowds are always.

I don't know.... I know my brood of 7 is going just for the free dining. We would not otherwise have gone to WDW in late Sept. I'm betting there are many other folks who are coming in September who ordinarily would have stayed home.

Erin · 08-12-2006

Well, I guess I shouldn't really stress too much, because our days are so relaxed...we really don't have any significant time planned in the parks ANY of the days except for MNSSHP on the 29th, and that is LIMITED...so...

hmmm....

I think we're gonna be fine - all our days are early morning, too - except for the day we arrive...and our EPCOT day, because we have a TS for dinner...But, EPCOT is huge...it can be crowded there, and you only can tell at Soarin' and TT.

Erin · 08-12-2006

What are your dates FLsunshine?? Because I am thinking - because we are at the TAIL end of it - we might be saved from the insanity...we're the LAST week in SEpt.

PrincessPooh · 08-12-2006

Even if the crowds are a little heavier, not a big deal. When we were there last Sept it was so dead they didn't have any of the fastpass machines on and they weren't even doing baby swap tickets, you just walked right on. Worst case scenario, you'll have to wait maybe 30 minutes for EE, so what? Other than that, I think it'll still be a wonderful trip!

Erin · 08-12-2006

*BigSighOfRelief* - that is great to hear. Yeah, I'm down with waiting 20-30 minutes for stuff...I refuse to wait any longer. We just won't do it. :c( I mean, or I can fastpass...but, I hate waiting in long lines with my sweet, angelic little Caisley.

Wow, you're quick, I accidentally quoted Dana instead of you.

With that kind of speed I think you'll beat me to both the cheddar soup and the maple creme brulet at LeCellier!
