Help: Go in september?

[3princesses+aprince]

Well we were originally planning to go next in April 07, now we were thinking about september. Just wondering about the weather, and crowds.

Thanks

I went one year the week after Labor Day. There were no crowds at all. So nice you could walk on to just about everything. Our longest wait was like 15 minutes. However, it was very very hot and humid.

We also went in Sept 2005, the Friday before Labor Day thru the following Thursday. I agree there were no crowds. However I did not find it to be "very very hot". I am from TX so maybe I am use to it. It did rain every day which made it muggy for a while, but it also made the parks even less crowded. My DD3 never complained, but we did take breaks and went back to the resort. I have never been any other time to compare to, but if we could do it, we would be going back for the free dining. (Already have a surprise trip planned for December for DD.)

Go to the trip reports board and do a search for September trip reports. I read some of them. Most said crowd levels were low, but it was hot.

We've been the last two Septembers and are going again this Sept.

The crowds have been minimal
Basically, walk onto most things depending on the time of day...

Our favorite time.. plus its nice and warm to get wet on water rides...

The lines are shorter, but yes it is hotter. We get the park hopper passes and spend most days at the waterparks and the evenings in the other parks. Get the cheap disposable rain ponchos at wal mart and always have them with you, a short afternoon downpour is common. We go every other year in Sept, and would never consider going at any other time.

We have gone a couple of times in Sept. All were hot and humid but a lot less people, except last year with the free dining it seemed so much more crowded than past Septs. I guess this year will be a repeat.

I thought our trip in february was uncrowded...until we went in September. I couldn't believe how EMPTY the parks were! After being there for spring breaks as a child, the lack of crowds and lines almost made it feel like there was something missing. I agree that it was HOT (never below 90 for a high) but there were very few lines to wait in so the heat was much more bearable.

We went end of sept. 99. It was hot, but the kids loved being able to swim and go to the water parks. Crowds were not bad at all.
