Just speaking for us in NJ, most schools are off for the week, since today is election day and there is a statewide teachers convention Thursday & Friday, so many school systems have the week off...I don't know about any other states.

The first MVMCP is this Friday so that could contribute to the crowd levels.
Not sure why an event on friday would garner Tuesday crowds. Maybe election day? No idea but it was chaos

It’s always packed now, in general.

This seems to be the only logical answer. Maybe all the northern states getting a ‘fall break’ is part of it, I saw a ton of UK people there this past week too, when they used to mostly come in the summer. If Brazil’s economy ever recovers, you may have to start doing rope drop just to get in the parks. It’s unreal.
And yet on Sunday it was absolutely ape sh.. at Epcot in the morning, and by 4 pm the parking lot wasn’t even at 50% capacity. Perhaps it was hurricane Pluto making landfall at Bay Lake this weekend, but still odd.
People bemoan FP, but we’re it not for that, I doubt I’d ride anything except for the first and last 30 minutes of the day.

Most British schools either had last week off or the previous week off.

I thought fall crowds were down.
I definitely agree with this, as well as it being Election Day.
They were talking about Epcot, where the crowds (get drunk and) fall down...
We were there September 26 to October 02 and crowds were “low”. Most rides were five to fifteen min waits. Even FoP was between sixty and ninety min. I still won’t wait that long, but we are use to seeing hundred and twenty plus. We never felt crowed. We went to two MNSSP’s and other than one parade it felt light. There are still pockets of “low” crowds. Not like before 2014 low, but low compared to recent crowds. I am hoping the beginning of December is the same way. I do realize you are talking all of October and early November, which after the first week of October crowds do pick up.
