Hey everyone! We are doing a
Disney Cruise and then WDW Sept 19-23.
Can't wait!
I am getting a little nervous though. We chose September for its reputation as a low crowd time at Disney. Now, our last trip to Disney was over a Labor Day weekend, which according to sources, was a low to moderate time to go, and as it turned out, it ended up being slammed. Then, looking back, instead of being like a 3/10 crowd level, as they expected, it ended up being a 7/10 level in reality.
Anyway, I guess that experience has me a little on edge.
Like I said, we chose September, as an all adult party it is a little easier to get away. It is a relatively reasonable time to cruise, pricewise, and WDW is supposedly less crowded. However, I have noticed a few things that have me concerned. When we went over labor day, we were able to get POFQ for $75, great price. Anyway, we are not seeing those bargain basement prices this year that we were hoping for. We ended up renting points, but when we did, it was suggested/told to us that room availability was VERY limited. There was nothing at the Boardwalk or Beach Club available.
Add to that, we are looking at ADRs and finding some restaurants impossible to get into. (We are not actually looking to dine at many of these places, just using it as a barometer for how crowded it will be) We figured that with low crowds, ADR availability would be better. So, now that has us a bit worried.
Will this be the year that September explodes, and once again, we will be unlucky? Ack.
