How About the Second Week of October? Re: Crowds

[mmbrad02]

I just finished reading through the thread about the first week of October crowds and just wondered what everyone's thoughts are for the second week, since it begins with Columbus day. We are arriving October 9 and leaving October 15. This is our fall break, but in our area schools do not dismiss for Columbus day or other holidays, and I didn't realize these were pretty popular dates when I booked. I'm not worried, but curious what others think. I am expecting our arrival day, the 10th, to be very busy as well as October 11, but the predictions I've made my plans around show the levels dropping back to more moderate after that. Any thoughts or others going this same week?

We arrived the Wed before Columbus Day weekend 2 years ago for a 10 day stay, never again. We've been going in Oct for some time now, except for the weekend before CD and a day or 2 after CD Oct crowds are less than our old dates, the first week in March. It won't be horrible, just busier than any other 5 day span in Oct.
