I have been twice before in October, 2004 and 2007. This year the weather was so much better and the crowds appeared to be about the same to me most of the time, obviously the 'headline' attractions were busy. Although I did think Seaworld shows were busier than I have seen before even Blue Horizons was full but maybe that is because there were less shows that day??!!
F & W was as busy as I recall in 2007 but still Epcot was not as bad as I have seen it, NYE is the worst, but on evey visit here the atmosphere is great

I even got to try and frozen Magarita this time in Mexico
So in all I plan to be back in October 2012 and may even go solo if there is no one special to share my 'special place' with
