Thinking about an October 2019 trip...yay or nay?

[wdwfamilynh]

We are in the very early stages of planning our next trip to celebrate our 15th anniversary in October 2019. BUT, with Star Wars Land scheduled to open in “late 2019” (which by some things I have read means autumn) we are thinking we should not. Any thoughts?

It will be crowded but if you can do it, why not

With Star Wars opening in 'Autumn', that would mean the other parks are a breeze! If you are not into Star Wars, or don't want to deal with the MASSIVE crowds, I would still consider going to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot! You can always plan another trip in a year or so do Star Wars AND Toy Story Land on your next trip! By then the crowds will have thinned out and be more manageable and enjoyable for you! I have a trip planned for May 2019 for just $750(see info below in signature) There is always a TIME and REASON for a Disney Trip!

I think MK will still be very crowded, regardless of how packed HS is

r don't want to deal with the MASSIVE crowds

Don't forget Toy Story Land which just opened up, its a double whammy, that park will be filled to the brim like never before.

I was going to wait a year and go 2020 when everything kind of settled down. That is what I planned with Pandora. I don't know if it has settled down that much yet though. If anyone has gone lately, what do you think? We are going the end of September.

That being said, TSL has just opened and probably will be mad busy. I have watched you tube videos and it looks more for young kids and probably won't spend much time there. That is my plan anyway.

Overly crowded is what we try to avoid.

Thanks! We were thinking of not including DHS in the plans (without TSL and SW:GE, there's not a lot there for all three of us anyway), but not sure how packed everything else would be given the Star Wars fans.

(Sigh) Isn't MK always very crowded anymore? I miss the "slow" season.

Pandora was great when we visited in November 2017. It was busy, but not horrible. TSL would probably drive me nuts anyway, but my son would probably want to go.

I think you will be out of luck this fall, even if you avoid HS, the other parks will still be crowded.
