Free Dining And September Crowds???

[emalone]

Just got back last night from AKL 6 night stay and it was great. Parks very very crowded. I need input on September and free dining. HOW ARE THE CROWDS? HOW IS THE TEMP? HOW ARE LINES FOR THE RIDES? There will be mom,dad, 3 children ( that are 13, twins 11 and they are adult prices by Disney) I think it would be worth keeping them out of school to get free dining. That would be value season and free dining. I would save us$$$1200 to $$1400. That's alot to save when your broke anyway. Just let me know about the crowds, weather and the lines. Thanks

Did free dining in late September 2006 and the crowds were not bad at all -- the restaurants were jammed though. Better make ADRs as soon as you can. It is hot & humid though

Thanks. Just how hot was it?

We were there September 1 - 9 this past year and it averaged about 94 a day, and humid (it didn't bother us too much--we drank lots of water and took breaks at the pool in the afternoon). We averaged less than 10 minutes for most attractions; we waited the longest for Soarin' and Splash Mountain--maybe 30 minutes each.

THanks. We were there March 29th - April 5th and it was 88 to 90 then. We did ok.
