I’m booked for Labor Day weekend at a 3Br at HHI, then a 1Br at BWV Sept 8-12 and PIT (1br TPV) for Sept 12-16…

It doesn’t look like they are going to offer Free Dining this year according to the bloggers. Previously though, yes the free dining was with a complete package including resort stay and a minimum day park hopper ticket.

Thank you.

Yep. No free dining this year - except for the free kids dining if you buy the adult dining package - but the cool kids summer deal has some awesome discounts in price for those who need a package.

We are going in September again!
Originally booked for November but these promotions convinced us to switch.
We will be at Pop form 12-18 - never stayed there so super excited! Plus bringing my mom this time

Currently booked at SSR in a studio September 20th-25th. I booked it in two trips because I may do a split stay depending on what's available at my 7 month mark.

I'm SO excited! I just booked a solo trip for Sept. 6-12 at All Stars Movie.

This will be my second trip ever, 10 years after my first, and it will be my first solo trip.

That’s great! So much has changed it will be amazing!

We had two nights there before a DVC stay and we loved it! It is now our go to option if we are flying in later in the day for a one night day that we really enjoy

I currently have July booked but I'm thinking of switching to September. If you've been at both times, can you compare for me? I realize there's a hurricane risk in September, but other than that, is it hotter, wetter, more humid, more something than July? Maybe emptier?

Thanks!

Both are hot and humid and likely will have afternoon storms, but I swear it feels like the end of August into the beginning of September is the worst humidity of the year. The end of the month is a bit better unless there's a hurricane coming, but more crowded as fall breaks are starting. The nice thing about September though is you'll get all the Halloween stuff up and the parties, plus Food and Wine is going on!

I've been at WDW several times in September. I never encountered a hurricane then. The one time I had travel plans disrupted by a hurricane was in October.

My mother and I are doing our annual mother/daughter Food and Wine weekend in September this year instead of October! Last year we did it in November but with Oct/Nov being so busy for us the last couple of years we've decided to try September instead this time.

We're going September 24-27 staying at Old Key West

Sept 13-20!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Yay! It's official now! I'll be at WDW Sept 22-30. I'm doing a split stay-5 nights at Villas at Grand Floridian, then 3 nights at Saratoga Springs.

We are in the early planning stages right now but i believe we will be going Sept 19- Oct 4th. its a split stay, 9/13-9/25 AoA (possibly) and 9/25-10/4 at POP (this is definite haha). Ill be staying at POP with my baby while my family goes on the Treasure from 9/26-10/3. its a complicated vacation. We are still figuring out the details of everything.

What do we think the chances are that the free water park on check in day will still be happening in September?
