F&W frenzy :-)

Hey guys!

I was just wondering something....We have always spent October in WDW all my life. It was always a great time to go, milder weather smaller crowds ect....then along came the festivities.. which I love, But the crowds are sometimes so big!

On the same note the one time I went in August it was a zoo (before F&W days!)......people everywhere. Barely noticed the heat difference though.

I am sure WDW has seen a HUGE increase in Sept/Oct what with F&W and MNSSHP.....I know I certainly have!

Has the summer mellowed out at all with the shift of interest? I checked the events and there is not really anything going on when we are there...no golf tournements...ect... It would be nice not to have the huge crowds like the last few visits in October, probably not possible but a nice thought!

There really is no bad time to go to WDW...I am just greatful I can go!

I know what you mean. We went in early Oct. one year before the F&WF start day was pushed to the beginning of Oct. It was a great time to go. We also do alternating trips in Sept., so we were used to low crowd levels. In Oct. '04, the F&W started just before our trip and it was a mob-scene in Epcot. On our last trip (mostly Sept.), we were there for the first day and a preview of the F&W and the Epcot crowd seemed to double (at least) from the week before. I'm going in Oct. this year because both of my dd's have their birthdays then. Otherwise, I'd be going in Sept. I'm seriously considering switching to Sept. for all of our trips, but we'll see how Oct. goes this year.

Weekends during the F&W are crowded, but that's when we can go. I'm going to miss a class or two and stay through Tuesday this year, and I hope we can do more of the tasting without being mobbed.

We went to WDW last August and I don't think that the crowds were particularly bad, and we're going again during that same period, beginning August 20th.
