End of September?

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

We are going for our first time in 10 years for ONLY 2 days tacked onto the front of our Disney Vacation, how are the crowds during the end of September? TIA

Wow......you're going to see some changes in the parks since you were last there!!!

It's generally a quieter time, of course the opening of Diagonal Alley may change that slightly but usually it's a fantastic time to go. We love September

HHN will be on selected nights then so be aware the studios will close at 5 on those nights as it's a hard ticket event, IOA will be open to 7 usually.

If you can avoid the weekends that will be better as weekends are still busier than weekdays.

Are you planning on staying on site? A one night stay will get you 2 full days of Unlimited EP.......then it doesn't matter when you go weekends or not!

avoid the weekends and you will avoid the crowds for late september.
hhn starts sept 19 & 20 starts and the studios will close at 5.
ioa will close at 7.
the last weekend of sept, hhn will be on sept 25, 26, 27 and 28.

if your two days at the darkside hits any of the above dates, do the park early when it opens.

you will see crowds on the weekend days building around 3:00 in the afternoon.
hhn will bring many to the parks for the afternoon prior to the evening hard ticket event.

when the second part of parry hotter opens at the studios, it's any one's guess of how it will change the crowd pattern in the parks.

do go to www.universalorlando.com and see the layout of the parks.
check out the rides, eateries and ways to get around in the park.

since it has been 10 years since you have been to the darkside, it will seem like a new park to youse!
