I was there in 2007 for the 2 weeks leading up to Labor Day and boy was it CROWDED! I also went years ago for Labor Day weekend (Friday until Tuesday) and didn't think it was so bad...

I think the off season is get more crowded every year. People are traveling year round and the slow times are getting fewer and fewer.

Re: Free Dining 2008?

We went on the Friday before Labor Day, and stayed until Tuesday after Labor Day (4 nights). It wasn't too bad, really. We usually visit during Christmas, so the Labor Day crowds weren't bad in comparison! As DT said, there are fewer and fewer slow times.

I have to agree! We went the last 2 weeks in August, leading into Labor Day weekend. I expected the crowds to be minimal compared to July, since most schools are in session across the country! I was so WRONG! I think all of the Northeast was there for Free Dining right along with me!!!!!

I would say July because kids are still out of school. I would say best bet in Sept.

Re: Free Dining 2008?

We went from Sept 6-9 this past year and there were NO crowds. It was absolutely perfect for us.
