How busy is Epcot on a Saturday during F&W? Please :)

Just curious...Dates are Oct 16-22. I've only ever been during other months and for F&G. Is it like...spring break crowded or are the crowds manageable? Just trying to figure out our plans for the week and such and curious. I plan on doing Epcot 2 other days out of the week (a Monday and Wednesday w/ park hopping to AK and HS). Appreciate any input! Thanks so much

You'll probably live through lunch (probably).
If you've ever seen photos of the workers employed to help shove passengers onto the trains in Tokyo, you have some idea of what dinner time looks like during F&W on a Saturday in Epcot.

It's not something I'd voluntarily subject myself to if I was going to be there for two other days.

It's not just crowded because of the people, but because the kiosks take up a lot of real estate.

Epcot's World Showcase will be very busy on a Saturday during F&W. The Future World section isn't bad at all.

Weekend evenings are crazy busy at F&W. Not only is it crowded, but the lines can be super-long and the behavior of some of the guests tends to deteriorate a bit. We tend to avoid weekend evenings at F&W, but I've heard tell of drunken guests throwing up in the bushes, among other things.

If at all possible, avoid weekend evenings. If there are no other options but weekend evenings, brace yourself!

Thank you all...I've seen some madness during F&G on a weekend as well, but I think I'll have to rearrange a few things in our schedule. Maybe an AK/HS day. Seeing as though its just DH and I, it will be much easier to do.
