We arrive September 12 - 21 and I hope it is like this as well. We always go in September and only had a time or two when the parks were really crowed. September has always been a good time of the year for us to go. Less crowds, Room discounts always good weather except for a hurricane or two. Lastly it never seemed to be differrent far as crowd levels when the Economy was good or bad.

I've been to WDW twice in late September/early October, and aside from occasional rain squalls, the experience was great. Decent-sized crowds and weather. Early April is a nice time to go too.

Dude, sore feet are inevitable due to the 80 miles a day you walk.
Never been there once without getting the "Disney feet".On a side note, I go every September about this time (going next week) and it's always this dead. Kids are back in school, summer is over. One time my wife and I were the only ones on TOT. Another time, we rode SM 3 times in a row. We'd pull up to the exit area, the CM asked if we want to go again, everyone cheered, and off we went.

Sounds awesome! Anyone know how the crowds will be around the last week of September through the first week of October?

This is good news! We leave for "The World" on Friday!!!
Same here - see you around the 'World' this weekend!
I've been once when it was very light crowds (Fall, 1995). It was pretty cool being able to walk onto of the rides with no waiting. For example, we got through everything in the MK we planned to do by lunchtime. We didn't have park hopper passes, so we made another round of the things we wanted to do again and then headed to the off site hotel to swim in a really, really cold heated pool.
My prior experiences had all been during summer or spring break, so it was refreshing to not spend the whole day sweating in lines. But I do admit that (for me anyway), part of the experience is the other people at the parks. I would take nearly empty over crazy spring break crowds any day of the week, but a nice moderately crowded day would be my first choice overall.

I've had one off season experience in the parks and that was Valentine's Day of 1999. My friend and I each had a one day park hopper so we start at rope drop at Animal Kingdom and hit all four parks before wrapping up the day with Fantasmic at DHS and heading out. It was something like a 14 or 15 hour day in the parks jumping from one to the next but we hit everything we wanted to multiple times and had a blast.
P.S...we were EXHAUSTED!

We just returned from our trip in the World, we arrived on Aug. 28th and departed on Sept.4th
The crowds were great. This the 1st time been there this time of the yr and almost every thing had a wait time of no more than 20 min. The only ride we had a hard time with is TSM, the FP were gone by 10:30am (parked opened at 9am), the whole day the wait was a 120 min wait then when the EMH it was 80 min.
Some mentioned about the apps, I just want to tell you we had a guy behind us on Splash Mountain and he told us the the apps were not accurate all the time, so he stated he was disappointed with the apps.
At the end of the month I would think the crowds would start to pick up again with F&WF, and MNSSHP.

I'm having hope that MK won't be super busy while I am there this weekend.
