How does July compare to October crowds?

[IBLarsen]

I know this may sound like a silly comparison, however, after having been the first week of this past October, I have to ask. This past October was CRAZY busy! The CM's were shocked that it was that busy, and they extended park hours every night we were there. I remember reading a lot of posts at the time all with the same conclusion. So now that I've experienced THAT, does it compare with July time frame do you think? I have avoided peak season for the crowd reason, but clearly, this past Oct defied that notion. So should I expect the same for a July visit knowing the AP's block out dates are in effect. Or have I truly not actually even seen crowded yet?

Actually, we went this past year in July, the 8-12th and it was slower in July then it was when we went Oct 9-11.......

Just what I wanted to hear - can you remember the approx max wait times of the more popular rides?

Well I remember Saturday we walked onto almost everything, in both parks. It was busier during the week because Deluxe APs were allowed in but wait times were less in July then they were yesterday! LOL I'm remembering basic wait times of 30-45 min, more for Space and Splash of course but the rest of the rides were around 30-45. Not over 60, except maybe Space, Splash, Grizzly & Screamin', oh and TSMM was running at about 30 min the whole trip in July.
