Canadians going to WDW in September!

[bnstiles@telus.net]

We are leaving from Calgary Alberta - will be at POP from Sept 25th - 30th with free dining and then Sept 30 - Oct 5 offsite. 7 Day Park Hopper tickets. First time for the family although I was there at the 25th Anniversary of Disney World (accidentally before all the info was available on line). Way too many hours online this time trying to figure everything out - but it will be worth it!!!:surfweb

We are going Sept. 1-12 staying at AKL Club Level for FREE DINING
It was a great savings for our family of 4 (2 teen boys considered "disney adults")...I can't wait, even though I dread heat and humidity, I'll be at Disney World with lower crowds and Free Dining! I'll compromise
We paid off our trip last week too, and just bought $500.00 more spending money with the $ doing not too badly this past week.
I wanted to convert some money before it took a nosedive again with the flu paranoia going around, it is not going to be good for the economy, I think

dont be fooled to much by the off season "reputation" of lower crowds.
WDW has been offering this free meal promo for the past few years for the late Aug-Sept vacationers. It is no longer the "big secret" it may used to have been.

I know several friends who've made this trip and have been floored by the attraction line-ups. Sure the free meal plan is a bonus (just be sure to pre-book your ADR's well in advance, like 3 months to be exact) but the restuarants have been crammed as well.

I've always travelled the first 2 weeks in November. While not considered value season, nor is there a free meal plan. I generally dont have to book my ADR's too far in advacne and have even been able to switch things around once I got on site. The attraction lineups those 2 weeks are rarely longer than 10-15 minutes.....sometimes non-existant.

Thanks for your look at the flipside of the coin I agree, you could be looking at crowds no matter when you go nowadays! I got all our ADR's booked without trouble, so that was a relief. I've read many posts on the Dis boards regarding this time frame, and from what I have read from the majority....Sept is a great time to go crowds-wise. I will take it all with a grain of salt, and just enjoy being at WDW
We have park hoppers so we can go to another park if any one is too busy... and I also planned some offsite days at Discovery Cove/Seaworld intermingled in to give us a change of pace.

Overall, I am hopeful for a good trip, but am open to the prospect that it is WDW and a favourite destination for many! We'll just have to wait and see how it is and hope for the best...

We got married in April '08 and have been putting off the honeymoon, but we've been saving every dollar and now it's time! We're VERY excited

I'm sure you'll have an awesome time.

We are taking out kids on a surprise trip from September 18-27th. We are in at All Star Music - Family Suite for FD.

Is it still a surprise? I don't know how much longer I can keep the kids from figuring it out...dd sees me on the boards ALL. THE. TIME. and is going to notice my new ticker sooner or later!

We're going September 10 - 24 and staying at POP Century. My son decided to come with us for the first week so it will be me, DH and DS for a week and just me and DH for the second week.
