Okay, with all the problems people are having getting rooms during October, I'm getting a bit nervous about the parks being pretty crowded during our stay in mid October. I talked my friend into going now because DH and I had a great stay last year--very small crowds, etc. I don't want her to be upset with me because I steered her wrong. Also, since WDW hours are shortened during this time, have they ever extended hours because of bigger crowds?
