last week of september and high crowds?

[traej73]

I was just looking through the unofficial guide and saw a crowd rating of 8 for our trip. We are going September 23-30. We usually go in September and don't have any problems with crowds. One of the reasons we go in the fall. Anyone have any ideas on why the rating is so high? I am kind of worried now. Thanks, Traci

I don't know why the rating is so high...perhaps it's a mistake? We were there last year from Sept. 27-Oct. 7th and found the crowds to be very light....it picked up a bit toward the end of our stay because of Columbus Day weekend approaching but it still was managable.....have a great trip!

I don't see that on the touring plans website. It looks like most days are 4s. Here is the link

I think there will be some more people there then in years past, due to the dining promotion, food and wine, and MNSSHP, but I'm not too worried about it.

ETA my 2005 UOG shows 2s for most of September into early October...so maybe yours was a mis-print? Anyways that has changed now to the 4s I mentioned earlier

I wonder why that is. We went the last week of September last year too. Most rides were walk-ons to 10 minute waits at the most. I wonder why the high level for this year???

thanks for the info. Maybe I need to put my glasses on and read the numbers again lol. I'll take the 4's over 8's any day. Feeling better. Just booked our flights! Can't wait to go.

The 8's are typos. Sorry about that.
