DH and I were there last year. We stayed at BWI and had a wonderful time. Crowds were non-existent and weather was great. The parks did close early, but Epcot countries stayed open till later so we could walk over to Epcot when we got back. And because the crowds were low, the early closings weren't a problem. DH is not that big of a Disney fan, so I may be going later October with a friend. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
