We just got back on 9/7. The crowds were not that bad. We actually walked on all the rides. My son rode tower of terror 5 times in a row. Just walked right on. We did not even need to use our fastpasses. The restaurants were a little heavy on crowds, but the parks were fine. Hope that helps.

We just got back Sunday night and the crowds were very light. We didn't even notice too many crowds at the eating places. You can't get an ADR but the counter service places weren't bad at all. Please don't worry. You won't have problems. We were planning on getting to rope drop every day, but we didn't find it needed.

I have report on "My magical Birthday trip" further down on the treads...

Crowds were not bad at all. The only time MK got crowded was Thursday because it was the only viewing of Spectro and wishes. So I figured it would be packed.

We skipped spetro and rode rides...The lines were very short except Peter pan. We FP that. Other than that most rides were a walk on.

POR was pretty full, but we never had a problem getting a bus or food at the food court. The quiet pools were empty and the main pool and a few families and kids.

We saw alot of adult couples and newlyweds on this trip or families with small kids.
Epcot on Saturday was wonderful. The only wait was for Soarin and we FP that too.

Ohana was pretty full, but we had an ADR and got seated within 15 min. We did see people getting turned away without.
Le Cellier and AKS were busy, but never waited to be seated. Everything run smoothly and we never felt rushed.
Ate at Wolf Gang puck express for a counter service on Friday around 4:30 and had no wait and got a seat on the patio.
Sunday at DTD it was not very busy either.

We had a wonderful time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not wait till next month for F & W and no kids...My first adult only trip to WDW....

Have fun!!!!!!

We were at WDW from Aug. 28th - Sept. 2nd. I only thought our last day was busy by any means, and that was more by comparison to the rest of this trip vs. other times we've been to WDW. Now we weren't there on Saturday, so perhaps it was a bit busy as well, but I would guess it was typical weekend crowds, even though it was Labor Day weekend.

I did a trip report and you can sort of get an idea of how much we were able to do.
