Crowded in October?

[kar6921]

We are going to be at WDW Thurs 10/5 - Wed 10/11. Anyone know if it is crowded around this time?

Wow! We will be in the "WORLD" Oct 6-11th!:sohappy:

Oct. is picking up in visitors every year. It use to be very quiet around this time...word got out! It's much lighter than a holiday time...and you should be able to enjoy shorter wait times. We visit a month so we have seen it slower and just plain nuts....You should have a magical time! See ya real soon!

not that busy

We go almost every october, and the longest we have ever waited without a fastpass was 25 min for ToT. And the longest i have seen a line was 60 min for splash mountain due to tech issues. And every now and again the fastpass machine is down or they simply turn it off all together cause its not that busy.

Other than problems like that you can whip out the rides as fast as your stomach can take it! And if your up for it go during MNSSHP and you can ride even more making everyone in your group happy and dizzy!

Ill be there in 4 days, Im thinking its Oct 6-9, i Know it will be packed then, but thats ok, for me, its almost like part of the experience. I always kid and tell my dad that anytime Im able to go(holiday/inservice day leading into a holiday) the rest of the country is, so I ALWAYS expect a crowd. Hopefully Im wrong though, for Ill be leaving in 4 days to vacation at my second home.

Holla at cha boi, yea me, and all that jazz:sohappy: .

ive been there for colombus day weekend for three years in a row and it is NEVER as bad as the presidents day week or something.

And i'll be there from 10/5 to 10/9!!!

We will be there from 10-5 until 10-8. October crowds have been increasing ever year for quite some time. It will be somewhat busy but not too bad.

No idea if its packed or not. Im gonna be there 10/6 to 10/8 though! Thats like 4 groups from these forums alone... Maybe it will be packed after all lol.

 

[LeeSeeBabe]

I'll be there the 10/5 through the 10/8!! Woohoo!

I'm there 13th to 23rd October, my 14th trip:sohappy: . Does anyone know what its like then? Its school holidays in the UK, does that usualyl have an impact on crowd sizes?

 

[metman]

holidays in the uk run from aprox 20th till the 28th of october
some parents will take there kids out the week before so they can have a 2 week holiday and you will find in my opion the crowds will be 50% more than the biggining of october.

hope this helps

I will be there in 2 weeks from the 16th -21st. NW Florida County is on Fall Break as well as a few other counties across the country. Orlando local schools didn't appear to be on break.
