Saturday crowds at Magic Kingdom in October

[tbird89]

First time posting here. I will be going mostly to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, but will spend a day at MK on Saturday, 10-29-2005. Now, I've always heard that crowds on Saturdays are terrible at MK, but according to Touring Plans dot com, they recommend going to MK on Saturday and that crowd levels will be at a 4 (on a 1-10 scale). Is it because there is no MNSSHP on that day? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Welcome to the disboards!

I've been wondering the same thing about Saturdays....

I used Tour Guide Mike's online service once a few years ago, and he said never to go to MK on a Saturday if you didn't have to. The last time I went we went to MK in the morning on a Saturday (in February) but it got really packed so we left. MNSSHP is the only thing I figure would affect attendance.

We've been to MK twice on Saturdays.
1. Second Sat. of Oct., 1999. Very busy.
2. Second Sat. of Nov., 2001. Rediculously busy.

Don't go on Saturday if you don't have to. If you have to go just to see the parade, for example, you might want to do another park early and go to MK in the evening.

I wonder why touringplans.com recommends Saturdays? It sounds like they`re always a no-no.
