Late Oct/Nov busy times?

[Janine1983]

Hi,

We go on 23rd Oct till 12th Nov, are they any special dates which will make the parks overly busy?? Like the American school half term??

As im taking my DS who'll be 2yrs 3 months and really want to avoid massive crowds where I can. Obvsly I know it'll be busy, but if there are special dates then ill have a 'day off' on those!

Thanks, Janine

Hi americans half term looks likely to be around the 16th-29th October so the parks may be busier, we have been in October before and found it a really nice time to go.

On Mickeys halloween the parks are busy but they do limit the numbers as you pay seperately for the ticket.

Have you been to Universal Halloween before??

A good time to go, nice weather, not too hot but should be very pleasant.
Maybe a but cool early in the morning and late evening.

There is a US holiday around the time of the UK half term, I would suggest that the crowd levels will be fair, not quiet but nothing like as busy as the likes of Easter.
As ever getting to the parks early will ensure you can have at least a couple of hours with relatively low crowd levels.
To be honest it is a difficult time to predict with any real accuracy.

Most parks don't start to get really busy till around 11am onwards.
