Is October going to be crowded?

[elabron]

We're staying at the Poly from 10/28-11/06, but got my wife schedule for October and it looks like we could go down a few days earlier.

So, I got on Disney's web site to look for a room at a Value.....we have enough Disney Dollars from our Visa to cover 2 extra nights there. Only problem is, the ONLY room I can find ANYWHERE on property is at Port Orleans.......I checked AKL, ASMov, ASMus, ASSports, Pop, FW cabins.........guys, there is nothing!

What the heck is going on?:shrug:

Check that.....the only rooms are at Old Key West....not PO.

October has become increasingly more popular. Maybe bacause of the MNSSHP. I hope it is not too bad since we will be there from Oct 13 - 20.

This time of year is popular for Conventions and Conferences.
That's why I'll be there in a few weeks.
(Not for me, it's the wife's - but I get to go and have fun:lol: )

Regardless, I would call the resorts. I would think you would have better luck.

But to answer your question, I really don't think it's THAT crowded - nothing like Christmas or Easter.

I don't know about Oct., but last wk. was pretty crowded!

This will be our 4th visit to WDW in October. Crowds are pretty much average. I know that one year we had a problem booking a room because of the Funai Classic that is played at one of the golf courses. If I am not mistaken, it is the 3rd or 4th week of October. We are staying off property this year at my brother's time share, so I didn't try booking a room this time. Call the resort directly. Maybe they can do something for you. Good Luck!

Don't you love that? In Feb, my fiance had a home builders show in Orlando and I just went along and while he worked, I went to the world.
See, he's good for something!

This week has been worse. The Ferry is supposed to shut down an hour after close and we've been running full boats till 10:30ish.

Definitely try calling too, they can try to find a room for you.

I would suggest calling. Last year I switched our resorts and was able to do it online, but when I called in they said there was not any room at Poly. I was able to keep my reservation, but the woman I talked to says that they can book things that can't be booked online.
