We have 3 days non WDW plus when should we DisneyQuest?

[JimboJones123]

We are taking a 14 night trip to WDW the last 2 weeks of September.

Sept 19-Oct 4.

We have the Busch Park Platinum Pass from Sea World San Antonio and want to hit Sea World, Aquatica, and Busch Gardens.

Which days of the week would be best to not only skip out on the WDW crowds, but not find huge crowds at the other parks.

Avoiding the WDW crowds is not as much of a concern as making sure we get in great days at the other parks.

Would Tues-Thurs be best for those other parks?

Which day would be best to go to DisneyQuest? Any day? Would it be better to go in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

ANY feedback on any of these questions would be great. We have only a month to start working on ADRs and booking the Pirate Cruise.

Thanks.

I've never been during the end of September but my sister has and she said all the parks (including Universal, Seaworld etc) were very quiet so crowds shouldn't be too much of a problem. That said, weekends will of course be more crowded than weekdays so your idea of Tuesday - Thursday sounds good.

DisneyQuest is only a couple of hours entertainment for me. Whilst there is a lot of entertainment on offer (and I love video games), the place is too confusing. If I do go, it would normally be in the evening before or after dinner.

go to agree with philo on all the the above...i went to wdw, universal and busch gardens last september and most places were pretty quiet so you needn't worry about where/when to go...the longest queues that i prob saw were for tsm which was 1hr+ but everything else was 0-20mins max...

as for disneyquest i'd say it was more of an evening thing, it's not really an allday experience...i've been a few times in the past and we've normally encorporated it into a dtd night - restaurant > dq > house of blues...

hope that helps...

We spend several hours each trip at Disneyquest. I'd actually recommend getting there closer to opening. The crowds seem to be much bigger at night. I think a lot of people just go for a few hours after they've spent the day at the park.

A CM once told me that the middle of the week was pretty crowded at DisneyQuest. I have been once in the evening and twice during the day and never had to deal with many crowds.

Weekends are probably the busiest but I have never been there when it was packed so I dont think thats happens much.

Here are some pictures from a few of the trips I took to Disney Quest.
