I already have plans to go Sept. 14 - 20. I usually go in July. Is this time less crowded? How is the weather?

[valerie1003]

My boyfriend Joe and I are Staying at the Contemporary Resort in a Bay Tower Room from September 26 through October 5, 2008. Hoping a Magic Kingdom tower rooms opens up though. :) ~Val

[MarksMom2006]

We are planning on September 20 - 27. IF they give us free dining, then we are going to stay at POFQ. If not, then it will be Pop. LOL....Sooooo...come on free dining!!

[Disneychix]

I'll be there 9/24-9/28. Bouncin back to POFQ!

[miler1600]

I wonder how the poll results for this correlate to how busy the park will be? If so I am all smiles. :) :) :) :) :) :)

[maine girl]

Bringing the in-laws 8/30-9/06. reservations made :cool1: hoping for free dining to become available. My husband and 2 daughters stayed at AKL last year and fell in love with it. Can't wait to go back:yay:

[Tnkrbelle565]

You have to remember that people on the DIS (although at times it doesn't seem it) are actually a very SMALL fraction of the people who will be at Disney in a given week. September is always a slow time of year...even with free dining, bounceback offers, and 40% off codes being offered. You wouldn't believe the number of people we have met who had NO CLUE they could have gotten free dining for the past couple of years.

BTW, we are going from the 5th-13th. I voted in the 6-12 category.

[CheriePenguin]

:yay: We'll be at Port Orleans Riverside Sept. 16th - 24th, 2008 ! !
Me, DH, DS(4), DS(<2), plus my Mom & Dad

Here's hoping for Free Dining!! :banana:

(I voted in the poll as Sept 20 - 26th.)

[ktink]

We'll be there 8/31-9/6!

[angwill]

We will be at Pop Century 8/30-9/8 with the free dining from bounce back 07.

[NC State]

We are celebrating our 35th! September 24-28 CR. All 18 of us.:lovestruc

We're celebrating our 25th! Spetember 6-12!:banana:

[crystalcml]

Thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming!

[WDWBetsy]

We'll be at AKL from Aug. 30 - Sept. 6: bouncing back with free dining!

Will be me, my husband, daughter, nephew and their grandma (my mom). Can't wait!!

[rdevine10]

We will be there from either Sept 26th or 27th to Oct 4th with Bounce back free dining. (We are trying to figure out if we want to fly in Friday night or Sat Am!).

[musicmom3]

Sept. 17-22 at CR. Will we be able to stand the weather? I've been reading that it's as bad as August. Anybody been in September before?

[CapnJacksGirl]

We'll be at AKV September 22-27 :banana: DH and I are taking DS2 and DS1 to meet Mickey for the first time - sooooo excited! (me more than the kids!)

[KatMark]

Sept. 17-22 at CR. Will we be able to stand the weather? I've been reading that it's as bad as August. Anybody been in September before?

We were there September 1 - 9 last year and it was 94 to 96 degrees most of that time. It was HOT and HUMID. But it didn't bother us too much--we drank lots of water (which meant a lot of bathroom stops--we are 50 and 55!), went to the pool every afternoon for a couple of hours and when it was really unbearable, we'd go into one of the air conditioned shows. We have gone September the last three visits...it averages 90 whenever we are there.

[angwill]

Been there in August and September and last year September was actually hotter than the two previous Augusts so it all depends on the weather. It was freezing here the morning that we left and nice and hot when we got to Florida. Personally the heat really doesn't bother me because I am one of those people who is always cold. IMHO, I don't feel it was any more humid than it gets here in the summer in IL. I was really worried about the heat before our first August trip because of others who said it was too hot so I really don't think you will know if it's too hot for you till you try it. Just remember to drink lots of water, walk in the shade and enjoy the AC in the stores when you feel too hot.

[Jrabbit910]

I already have plans to go Sept. 14 - 20. I usually go in July. Is this time less crowded? How is the weather?

I think Sept is a great month to go because its less crowded... Usually hot and humid, not as bad as July but it rains more... :upsidedow

[musicmom3]

Thanks to all for the weather updates. We just made the rez yesterday so of course I am going through that neurotic period of "did we pick the right resort/month/etc.etc.etc"! KatMark, we are 55 and 60. Hear ya about the bathroom stops! Somebody was saying on another thread that October two years ago was hotter and humid-er than August and September. I guess it's all the luck of the draw.

[crystalcml]

Thanks for all your answers! Keep them coming! :thumbsup2

[momtimesone]

Hoping for free dining code for our stay Sept 15-21 Hopefully we get it:cool1:

[P-Dust]

We are staying at AKL for the first time Sept 19th (my B-day) thru the 27th. We have free dining but might forgo that for 40% the room. What-to-do, what-to-do???:confused3

[Illuminations_Rocks]

DF and I are Disneymooning! I voted in the poll for the week of the 6th but we'll really go a couple of days after the wedding, so probably the 2nd or 3rd until the 12th or 13th or even the 14th! Sigh.... can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

[madisonsmommy7704]

we will be there 9/15-9/25 DH,DD4 & I :cool1: at ASM - hoping for free dinning!! but will be happy with just my 40% off :thumbsup2

[Carlen9]

We will be at the Poly from Sept 20-27. Was hoping for the free dining but got in on the 40% deal. Can't wait. It has been almost 3 years since we went last time and it was only for 4 days. And this will be the first time we have taken the kids to Epcot. Cast includes me, dh, son (9) and twin girls
(8).

karen in VA

[Gymbomom]

We are going 9/18 - 9/28 (CBR), booked with 40% off, but we will save another $500 with free dining....so we hope it is coming!!!

[quietgirll]

hmmm...we are going sept 20-28...unlike several other people who have posted, we are already booked with the free dining at pop (bounceback), but i am hoping for a 40% off so we can book the poly...the 40% would be a better deal for us and allow us to upgrade resorts...otherwise, the pop will do...

[Jaelynnandmom]

September 20 - September 27 for us:goodvibes

[Momto8]

I checked Sept. 20-26, but we will be there Sept. 18-28. It will be our 36th wedding anniversary and there will be 20 of us going with the free dining. :cool1:

[tinkandonaldfans]

i really want to go again and september is our month we go! but promised boyfriend we would go snowoarding in december. trying to wangle finances so we can do both. fingers crossed!!!!

[fla4fun]

I booked the bounceback 40% off for villas yesterday, for September 10-24.:woohoo: I know I'm going to have to work in a long weekend between now and then. I'll never make it that long without a trip!:eek:

[christa112]

We are also going in Sept. We have been twice in September and have loved it. No lines and free dining!!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for free dining this time around too.

[Smile4Me]

I booked the bounceback 40% off for villas yesterday, for September 10-24.:woohoo: I know I'm going to have to work in a long weekend between now and then. I'll never make it that long without a trip!:eek:


I already have my first long weekend planned in April,,,and yet that is still too far away with the rate work is going!

[glitzybabes]

Only will go if free dining is offered. So hopefully it will be. :goodvibes We are planning on going Sept. 11-20, 2008. My dd is out of school that week. It will be our 3rd time going for free dining.

WE LOVE FREE DINING!!!!:lovestruc

[lclark0621]

We are going 9/17-9/25! :banana:

[ShhhQ]

We are going from Aug. 31st to Sept. 5th.... Booked for Pop and crossing fingers for Free Dining or some other discount just as fabulous to make the trip a bit more affordable on our tight budget!

[P-Dust]

Free Dining Sept. 19th (my birthday) thru the 27th. Looks like the most popular week.

[christa112]

We are too. I have not booked yet, we just waiting to get ok from dh's job and then I am calling.

[pooch]

The whole family went in 2006 (WL) - just DD & me in 2007 (Pop) - me & a friend 9/5 - 9/12 (POFQ). Gotta love Free Dining & the bounce back sucked me in!!:jumping1:

[princess jackie]

DH and I are going September 26th to October 1st for our 7th Anniversary. We are staying at Coronado Springs Resort and doing the Everest Challenge together. Hopefully I'm in shape by then!:rolleyes:

[fla4fun]

I couldn't vote, because my dates are the 10th to the 24th. But I'll be there!:cool1:

[CheriePenguin]

Just checked to see if by chance they had posted the September hours yet (March 1st being 6 months out from September), and they show September in the drop list and they have Animal Kingdom and Epcot hours posted!!! (Disney's main website, under Calendar)
MK and DHS not available yet - and it's probably best to wait a day or two to make sure they don't change stuff right away - but at least it's progress!

Doesn't look like anything earth shattering - similar to other months, but now we can work on finalizing park day schedules and ADRs! :cool1:
Of course, they could still change things later on as well.

[pinkerbell]

going Sept 26 - Oct 12 so I picked the last week... just waiting to cll on my ADR's!!

[team weasel]

Going Sept 14-26..staying at the POP for the 3rd year in a row - w/free dining.

Hope to see some of you there!:goodvibes

[h518may]

going Sept 14-19th, staying at WL. First Disney trip ever. I would love free dining, but only if I can save money and still stay at WL. Used a 20% discount on the reservation I have now.

[DznyDreams]

We'll be there Sept 2-8, but I marked Aug 30-Sept 5 for the poll since more of my days fell during that choice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for free dining. :)

[tflood]

We will be at the POFQ September 13-19. Just booked last week :banana:

[JennG]

We will be at the Poly from Aug 30th - Sept 6th as of now. DH wants me to change it to Sept 2 through Sept 9th since that way it's after Labor Day?? He's worried about the crowds, even though that's only on the front end of our trip. What do you think?

[jazzgirl]

We'll be there Sept. 19th-27th at the BC! Only 20 more days until the 180 day mark and we can make ADRs!!

[ShhhQ]

Today is my 180 mark... emailed my agent at DU what adrs I wanted... crossing fingers that we get what we want!!!!

[NanaV]

Today is our 180 mark too! My DH got all of our ADR's at the exact times we wanted them this morning!!! WooHoo!

[ShhhQ]

Today is our 180 mark too! My DH got all of our ADR's at the exact times we wanted them this morning!!! WooHoo!

We got all the places we wanted.... just got Coral Reef a half hour earlier and all the rest the exact time.... with one exception... The Crystal Palace, we requested 5pm and apparently the earliest they had for us was at 7:20 pm, which is actually fine with us!!!!:cheer2:

[KayLuvsMickey]

We are waiting to see if they offer free dinning! We went Sept 2006 and 2007. My hubby said if they didn't offer free dinning we would have to wait and go in December! (he likes the weather in Decemeber)

I can't wait that long!! I need some disney magic!:wizard: :goodvibes

[zachnlucy]

Sep 27 through Oct 4! Can't wait!

[sandbar]
