Funai golf classic impact on resorts

[SuperDuperBounce]

Obviously not a golf nut, I just discovered that we'll be at WDW during most of the Funai Golf Classic (all but the last day). I imagine this has quite an impact on the resorts. Does anyone know how much of the field actually stays at a WDW resort during the tournament?

We saw Vijah Sinig (sp?)at the GF, last year. And alot of Pink & Green & Plaid But that was the 2 days before it started. They also had a line up of Buicks & Caddies that anybody with the tourney could just show a badge & drive.

Most of the activities go on next to the GF. Traffic can get crazy around that area. Other than that, never encountered anything else. However, we don't stay at Delux resorts, so there may be more activity there in the evenings.

We will be at the GF Oct 12-16. We were there during the same time last year and it was busier than normal but not extreme.

Poly gets its share of the same too. And while we were at the poly pools watching the "blimp" that was telecasting the golf tournie, we thought if they span around and I wind up on national tv in swim suit, I won't be a happy gal.

Lots of traffic, resort sold out, lots of "golf pro types" etc....

Looked kinda interesting thou

The Funai Golf Classic dates are October 21-24th. So I think you'll be pretty safe. Have a great trip

We will be staying at the CR concierge 14th floor, first time concierge. Do you think the golf tournement will have any impact on our experience either positive or negative?

I honestly think that the crowds at the parks during the day will be less than usuall because people will be at the golf tourney. Watch out for morning and evening traffic to increase. This is why I think the park hours have increase, to give people the opporunity to go the parks after the tourney. Just speculation!
