Crowds the Last Full Week of F&W?

[PSUGuy]

I'm guessing F&W will end on Mon 11/9 in 2015 and if so we will be there for the last full week, leaving on Sat 11/7. We had a chat with a CM on the monorail platform in MK while heading over to Epcot this Oct. He cautioned against being there the last weekend of F&W, we avoid Saturdays at any rate, but I'm wondering if the last full week, weekdays, will be a horror. We're going come heck or high crowd levels but I'd like to know if that last week will be worse than our usual mid Oct time.

ps. - We're only interested in crowd levels in WS, thanks.

We were there that weekend this year. The reason the CM was suggesting you avoid that time frame is the Marathon. OH good grief, i don't think i have ever seen it so crowded ... now i can't comment on EPCOT itself since it was our travel day so didn't have any passes left BUT ... roads everywhere were backed up. Every resort we went to (our traditional last-day activity) was super crazy! When we did the monorail loop the crowds waiting to get into bag check at MK was at least 20 deep! The buses running and back forth from MCO were incredibly behind since exits from the highway were closed ...

So in general the entire resort was busy. Did it affect WS? Sorry but i can't answer that part of your question. Just offering a possible explanation to the CM's comment about it being busy that weekend?

The marathon is 11/6-7 in 2015. You will have the final week of F&W, the Marathon & "Jersey Week" all occurring at the same time.

Avoid Epcot from the 5-7 and you should be fine.
