Pictures of an Empty Park?

[Jrabbit910]

these pictures are great. I am hoping I can add to the great collection once we go... Never saw the park w/o anyone!!

We were there Dec 2 for breakfast at the castle before the park opened. The park was FAR from empty, they were getting ready to tape the Christmas parade. If I had turned around in this same spot and took a picture you would have seen what seemed like a thousand people in Christmas gear waiting for the parade. I was very excited to get this one with no people.

Very nice!

Lovin' these pics of empty parks in September. I'm planning a Mother/ Daughter trip for then, and it gives me hope for low crowds.

My next 2 trips are mid-May and the end of June, so it looks like early character breakfasts are my only hope for empty parks during that time of year, but if I get lucky, I'll be sure to takes some pictures!

As I promissed, I'm sharing some pictures from our trip last September.
Very low crowds.

Fantastic photo's , We've never seen it this quite apart from maybe in 2003 before our DD's were at school. We'll be back on the 31st May so maybe we can hope for a little piece of magic when we go for our early Character meals

I would have to drag the DS and DD out of school for this kind of easy going day--Hummm. That is just sooo tempting.

Metsfan, I am really loving this thread. It's great to see the parks somewhat empty, you notice so much in pictures that you don't normally see in the crowds. Thanks for starting it!

No problem!

I feel the same way about these pictures! They show things that you wouldn't (or couldn't!) see during a normal day.

Ditto!!! Thanks Metsfan!

I love looking at empty park pics- that is my favorite time to go- it has been a science to me to find a good time. We used to go in Oct and it was great- but then with all the talk of the F&W- more and more people are starting to attend- we have been to 3 F&Ws and the first one- in '96 was DEAD! But each time after- it started getting a bit more crowded. So we gave up on Oct.

We then went at the beginning of Dec 'o4 and '05- our mistake- Pop Warner- did that 2 years in a row-

then in Sept '06 we almost narrowed it down ( I will do the week right after Labor day next time- we went on the 16th)

and then, we also tried the Monday after Thanksgiving through the first weekend in Dec '06 (left right before the Pop kids were going to arrive - so that wasnt bad either)

I would stick with Sept though- even though its hurricane and love bug season- its not the "crowd" season!

No problem!

As for narrowing your search down, I also agree that early September (right after labor day) is the best time to go . The time we usually go is the last week of August, which is just before we go back to school. In the future, I think we will push it back a little bit and go in the middle of September. From looking at all of these great pictures, I think it may be worth a couple of days of missed school.

This reminds me of that awesome feeling of walking down Main Street in the morning, because that's what it is!

Really nice picture
