What to expect in October

I will be traveling with my family Oct 2-10, and we normally go Mid September. Will the weather and crowds be about the same?

yep, you might see an uptick on attendance that Friday/Sat (day before/of your departure ) due to Columbus Day weekend, but otherwise no significant differences.

Weather might actually be a little bit cooler and drier, otherwise should be about the same.....we love that week.

When planning watch the park hours for MK as they will often close at 7 for the MNSSHP.

thanks everyone, we also got tickets for the Halloween party for a Sunday we are hoping it's not to crowded

I think early October is relatively quiet. I went the past 2 years around October 18th for a week and the weather was beautiful. There were a lot families there with kids from the mid-west areas….I heard through their conversations that a lot of the mid-west has a break from school then so it was a little busier than I expected.
I do think it will be quieter in early October though….school just got started so a little early for a break of any kind.

Went mid October last year and I didn't think it was busy hardly at all. F&W wasn't bad during the week and MK was only moderate busy the nights of the Halloween party. Weather wise it's still pretty warm here. Once the sun starts going down it will get a tad chilly but not bad. Guess that all depends where you're coming from as well haha

We are on Fall Break that week as we start school first week in August (less than 10 days) and we will be there the 2-8th! Hoping it's cooler than it was in September 2013. It was hot the 2nd week that year! Like 90s and high humidity.

we went october 2014 and thought the crowds were perfect. we actually changed our fast passes around since we could just walk onto most rides with little to no wait (toy story mania was 40 minutes- but that's expected i think) Although it was mid 90's the first 4 days were there, it cooled off to the low 80's by that sunday. ENJOY!!!!

Thank you guys, I'm hoping it isn't to busy.. I know last year it rained everyday ( at least the weekwe were there in Sept) and it was more than normal. We got rained out for our Halloween party, thankfully the CM we spoke with was super nice and refunded our ticket.
