Honestly, I went the first week of Sept and had the opposite experience. We walked on to just about everything except Kali and Splash, in all the parks!

Not this year, at least for us. But again, we still had fun. I think September as "quiet" has been discovered.

That is funny and I clearly don't know everything yet, but anything has to be better than that poisonous other board.

I know. We are, for the most part, a pretty good group of people. I think I know what board you're speaking of, and without starting a clan war or something I am just going to say that we're glad you're here and not there.

We have our snarky moments, but mostly this is an awesome board of people and I've made some cool friends out of it : )

Been to Disney the past 4 weekends and its been empty. I assume its getting crowded for F&W starting on Friday. The end of the slow season was last weekend. It will now be packed until January. Also, the rain has kept everyone inside the past couple days. Hello sunshine.

When things are relative.. it's a good time
Closer you get to xmas it ramps up. January is good too.What people need to look out for in the traditional 'off' periods are special events. Those will kill ya

Uh Oh - we picked the 2nd week of Oct because we heard it was quiet and decent weather. I checked some of the other sites and they had it as a lower than normal week. Are we looking at crazy crowds that week in your opinions? (Pls no!)

I would think it would be slower in Sept and Oct simply because of school, but I don't know if other states have as strict attendance rules as Texas does. In Texas if you take your kid out of school for a week for vacation you get five unexcused absences and atomatically fail the semester, so all us Texas people are stuck with big crowds because we can only go when school is out.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Well it's not like there's that many other big hit attractions to choose from like the rest of the parks has..
HS has TMM, RRC, ToT, Star Tours......................what else? A bunch of shows and a couple of outdated rides .-.
At least Animal Kingdom is big enough to keep people spread out.. or too hot and have people leaving.

Not quite. The first two weeks of September are rather slow. My friend took his family to the World from Sept 5-11 and said that the parks were mostly quiet. No lines for characters and the average ride wait was about 15 minutes. Even in his pictures, the backgrounds are mostly dead. Wife and kids with Alice and the Hatter...and you could see maybe five people in the background in front of Tomorrowland Speedway.

Ditto.
Was at WDW this year from Sep 6-10 and the crowd levels were extremely low. The longest we waited for anything all trip was 45 minutes for Astro Orbiter one night, and that was only because it was after 11 and they only had one CM up top.
Touring plans was ranking certain parks as 1s to 3s and it felt it.
Keep in mind when planning your vacation that crowd levels at the various WDW parks are rarely uniformly high or low- they tend to fluctuate depending on which park has extra magic hours and/or whether or not Wishes and/or the main street electrical parade is showing at the Magic Kingdom. In general, the more "special" stuff going on at a park, the better idea it is to avoid it.
Consult your crowd calendars. They're usually right.

You think that's bad? There is a 70 minute queue just for for TSMM FP''s at rope drop!
May through September is unfortunately Brazilian tour group season. Impossible to avoid them in that time frame.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
i notice that they are showing red for a lot of May 2014 weekends but we have never experienced huge crowds in May (two weeks after the first weekend).
Is there something happening next year or have we just hit the parks lucky ?

I would guess that has to do with Star Wars Weekends. You are quite lucky!
