Help Looking at Sep 2014

[dcraythorn]

What is the typical crowd level during the first couple of weeks of September vs October? I am trying to plan my trip and I remember when we were there a couple of years ago in early September it did not seem that bad.

Also, what on sight hotel would you recommend?

Thanks for your help.

typically after Labor Day is not bad..HOWEVER....Next year the Harry potter Expansion will be completed and that may very well change crowd patterns for awhile , so there is no way to know how busy it will be..As for which resort, it depends on what your tastes are.The 3 current ones ( Royal Pacific, Hard Rock and Portofino Bay) are all deluxe resorts and come with the Resort Guest Express Pass perk and early entry .The newer resort is value/moderate( Cabana bay) will not have the express pass perk, but will have early entry.

HP2 will definitely change the past crowd patterns...in a BIG way!

No one can guess at this point. It won't be slow I can almost guarantee you.

Thanks for your help. I will really need to stay in one of the 3 hotels then. Just need to figure it which one. It will just me and my husband and 2 weeks of just together time.

Portofino is the more secluded and quiet than the other 2.There are still lots of kids and families ( we stay there as a family), but not as many as the other 2.I think because Portofino is very often ( though not all the time) the most expensive of the 3 resorts.

Well, we started looking at Oct and found no onsite rooms. So we settled for Sept 7th thru the 20th at Loews Royal Pacific. Sounds nice. Really excited. Now I just have to start working more to finish paying it off.
