For those of you who have gone in early October, how are the crowds? Thanksgiving this year falls on October 8 and I wanted to know if that would factor in to the crowds? Are there any other holidays or events that would affect the crowds from October 5-12? Thanks!
We were only there one time in October. The crowds were very light, but that was in 2005. Our longest wait time then was about 20 min.
We have been down at that time of year several times and have very much enjoyed it!!! ; The weather is still pretty hot, but can get cool in the evening. ; The crowds are not bad, but with Epcot's Food and Wine Festival on, ; Epcot can get busy in the evening especially on the weekend. ; An event not to be missed! ; You also have Mickey's Not So Scarey Halloween Party happening on select nights at Magic Kingdom. ; Another must see! Overall I'd say its a great time to go....
Hi everyone been away for a while. We were there last October I agree with realfam I found weekends very busy during the week the crowds were manageable, but Epcot was busy everynight during food and wine. MNNSHP is great getting pricey though.
We went last October and it was great. ; Crowds were light, the halloween decorations are up and the weather was favorable.
I haven't been in October before, but am going the first week this year. ; I am looking forward to attending MMNSSHP as well.
There are a lot of festivities going on at Epcot this year. Hoping for the best and going to avoid the weekends. ; Glad to hear about MNSSHP.
Overall October is a great time to go. The crowds are not too bad and the weather is still pretty good. Here is a link to a site that has pretty good trip planning tools. http://wdwprepschool.com/how-to-plan-a-disney-world-trip-in-6-steps/step-1-pick-a-date/
