Crowds and Free Dining in September?

[kimatigger]

We are going Sept. 9-19th. We were already going before the free dining plan came out. I chose September because the crowds are smaller and my boys do not go to school yet. I have had no problem getting any ADR for the dates we are going and I made 14. My question is do you think people will go just for the dining and pull there kids out of school for that. Do you think the crowds will be that much bigger? I figure yes it is hurricane season but last year was the first time since it opened that Disney World closed because of weather.

General crowds any bigger? Nope, which is why they are running the free dining again.

Crowds at TS and for food in genera bigger? Yup, because so many people will be eating for free, or eating at TS every day that never would before.

N.E.D.

I think the crowds will be just fine. I believe most pple that go b/c of the free dining are couples w/o children. That's why when making reservations for 2, there are none available. But for 3 or 4 pple, there are numerous tables.

We always go in Sept and pull our kids out of school so this Sept was no different for us other than the free dinning bonus. I do think it will be pretty normal for Sept. mainly because of last years hurricanes. Disney may be more booked because of people taking advantage of the free dinning, who would of stayed off property, (like us) but I think park lines will be great because everyone will be busy eating all that free food!

That was my thinking. the resturants would be busier but people either can go at that time or they can't. 45 days to go!
