I've been in September, the week after labor day and loved how there were virtually NO crowds.

I've booked for September 13-23, 2004. Those are the second and third weeks of September. I'm wondering if the crowds are pretty much the same, or if there's some build after that labor day week lull?

Thanks in advance! ;)
 
We have been the last few years the first three weeks in September, and it's all pretty quiet. Very low crowds.

Here's my opinion as to why. It's just too soon to be taking kids out of school, so parents wait until October or November if they plan on taking kids out. A lot of adults I know plan their vacation in conjunction with Labor Day so they don't have to take more days off. So, you may find it busy the week after Labor Day (mostly adults), but lessen dramatically the weekend after Labor Day as folks use those for travel days. With the Fairy Tale Package, crowds may increase a little bit, but, IMHO, I think it will still be considerably lower than August.

I love September and hope that others continue to stay away during that month.
 
Actually, we're going NEXT september. They may have another fairytale package type deal going, but who knows! I'm holding out hope that they won't! :teeth:

Thanks for the quick response!
 
I wouldn't hope for no FTP...it saved me hundreds. I'll take the extra couple of hundred dollars over the few extra people it brings in. September is going to rock either way you look at it.

I've got an AP, so no FTP for me! But hey, if they offer it, and it can save others lotsa money, I hope it's there for them. Just that they don't go in September. ;)

Probably should have said that in my last post!
