Epcot plan Saturday in September!?

[NicholeB630]

Someone else posted regarding a Sat in October during food and wine and I was curious if normal Saturdays are a better chance of being less crowded? It was hard planning this trip and what days to do what and I used Josh's crowd calendar for most. He has Epcot as second recommend park on Saturday Sept 10th so we chose that. I read on the other post a lot of people saying it will be pretty crowded and wall to wall people with drunks but I'm guessing its always worse during F&W. Id imagine Saturdays are just more crowded anyways because adults being off work etc. When we did Epcot in December 2014 I don't remember what days we went it was the second week of the month and both days it never felt super crowded we saw tons of characters and really enjoyed it. I hope its the same this time around. But being a Saturday is making me a little nervous. But it is lower crowds this time of year. Here is our plan for that day.

Rope Drop 9am
Inside out Meet and Greet
Baymax Meet and Greet
10:20 - FP Turtle talk with Crush (I know a waste but no choice here with tiers)
Nemo
The Seas
11:30 - FP Mission space
Get Snack
12:25 FP Test Track
Head straight to WS
Lunch ...
Visit a few countries
Possible break
Dinner in Japan

Spaceship earth is a better fp+ selection than turtle talk. Also don't forget about Soarin & the new frozen ride.

If you wait until the evening to meet Baymax there will little to no wait. There is typically a line for him in the morning.

F&W doesn't start until 9/14 so I would think the Sat before would be less crowded because people would wait until 9/17. But that is just a guess I have no data to back that up

Sound logic

That would be my thought. The last 2 Saturday's in September especially the 17th will be brutal (we went last year first Saturday of the fest and there was one food booth I waited about 45 mins for...)

LOL, that is the first day dh and I are set to go to F&W. We have a seminar planned on Sunday and some late dinner ADRs for the weekend nights so if the days are really bad we'll just ride some attractions and then go back to the resort and hang out by the pool (bar).

We are doing Spaceship earth the night before with FP to Frozen and then were gonna try and just get on soarin later at night or possibly hope for a 4th.
