How Do I Find Out If I'm Going During The Busy Season?

[Crowsie]

Hi All...
Thinking of doing a trip Oct 16 - Oct 20, 2003.

Is there a way I can find out if there are any major events happening that might make the parks unusually crowded for this time of year?
I'm wondering about conventions, special events etc.
Thanks for your help.

I'm planning to go down on October 18. That's the first day of the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot, so it could get a little crowded that week.

Under the "When to Go" section are historic attendance levels as well as a calendar of events.
