Parks in October

[kid4life]

We are going to WDW October 21st to 28th. Anyone know how crowded it usually is at this time? I have itineraries for each park but wasn't sure if lines are long enough to need them. Also booked Fantasmic dinner package at Hollywood & Vine, do I need it at this time of the year? Also concerned about my kids liking the buffet. They are 10, 13 & 16.
Thanks!

Welcome to the DIS, <b>kid4life</b>! I'm so glad you found us. I sure hope you can visit often.

The sad truth is that I've never toured WDW during October We have lots of veterans here, though, who are experts about October touring. I'm going to bump this back to page one for you and I'll bet they have some excellent advice for you

I was there last year over Halloween (or about the same time you are planning to go).

I haven't eaten where you made your reservation so I can't help you there.

Crowd wise...last year it was both Food & Wine and Mickey's Not So Scarey. If that's true this year then expect the crowds to be moderate with Epcot becoming packed in the evenings. In fact I'd suggest touring Epcot during the day to ride the rides and see most shows...its empty...then if it is Food & Wine spend an evening in Epcot eating the food & drinking the beverages...not all them are alcoholic.

I would use your tour guides for the other 3 parks.
