Crowds in October?

[Sara1026]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me what the crowds are like at USO and IOA in mid to later October? Do you think we "need" to stay onsite so we can use FOTL that time of year because of lines?

Thanks!

I was there last year in mid Oct for a long weekend & stayed onsite... it was so dead that we didn't even need to use our key-card for most of the attractions...we just went on the regular lines.... HHN were a different story...and you cannot use your key-card for that..... I am thinking of staying offsite this Oct to save some money...

October was great, we got off MIB and would go right back thru. Due to some other situations we are going in mid-Sept this year -- I hope we're as lucky!

I appreciate your feedback-- I was hoping you'd say the crowds weren't bad.

Hope you both enjoy your visits. Wish we were going this year as well.

I was there in mid-October last year and the crowds were pretty small. I've also been there during September and the crowds are pretty small then as well. Personally I think those are two of the best months to go, but September is usually hotter than October.

Good Luck!

I think September (after the Labor Day week-end) is the best time to go because you won't freeze on the water rides at IOA; by October, it's starting to cool a bit. (I'm a Floridian.)

How long do you have to live in Florida to say that?

Last October was pretty light until the night

My family moved to Florida when I was a little girl; it's been almost 40 years that I have lived here. It's all I remember. So yeah, I hate the cold!

Mid September = 20 minute or less waits for the entire day. Usually.
