Do you think these numbers have been updated since the Free Dining was announced? Do you they will be much busier? Also, is Labor Day that slow of a Holiday where it could be rated a 4 out of 10? Thanks for any advice.

Since schools all over the country will have just started, I think you will be fine regardless of the free meal offering.

That's probably one of the best times of the year to go! I'm a couple weeks behind you there.

We'll be there from the 4th through the 14th. Best week of the year, free dining or not. We were there this time last year and it was great. Don't worry.

Dh and I will be there Sept 7-10 for the Night of Joy concert and free dining! We were there the same weekend last year and it was not a bit crowded!

I'm very happy to hear all of these reports!!

Now I just have to wait the 80 days till it's time to go

Also, in case anyone hasn't seen it, this PDF is great for the Dining Plan:

How's the weather during that time? Is it as humid as the summer months??

Thanks!

This will be our 3rd September. The first year I went during the second week, and last year went the last week of Sept. into beginning of Oct.
This year we are going 14-20. We did notice that toward the end of the week during our late Sept. trip did pick up a little (I'm sure it was due to the Food & wine festival)

There were hardly any crowds...we've always been there at park opening, and stay until about noon....return to the hotel for a swim/rest and return to a park. First thing in the A.m. we could walk onto everything. Come about 11am we may have had a 5-10 min. wait.

It was very hot & humid (for us anyway). This year I plan on bringing a face cloth (or magic towel) along with a ziplock baggie to wet the towel and cool off. Along with a mini water misting fan attached to a keychain....

I was wondering the same thing.

WalMart sells them in two different sizes. I got the ones that are very small and are attached by a clip. Uses 1 battery. think i paid about $2.44?

Then they have a large one on a strap for about $5?? It is usually on an end cap. I think mine was in the area of automotive?? and others were by the cleaning supplies?? odd..
