Will also be there 9/26-10/4.... LOVE this time of year. As a kid we were always taken out of school the 1st two weeks in May to avoid crowds. That seemed to have caught on so we stoped doing that. Been in June (hated it), August (really hated it), Honeymooned at WDW in 9/04 and that's when I decided it was the best time to go. Only problems I have had is the rain.... Last trip 9/01 rained everyday at 3:00pm, with the parks closing early the ruined our swimming breaks in the afternoon.

Hope this has helped. ENJOY Your Trip.

We are also going in that same time period. Its after summer, and before a lot of the discounts kick in, although 10/1 is the very last day of Value season (we all knew that, of course!).

Hoping for reasonable crowds, esp. at MK on the Saturday (the only day that week that MK is open late besides MNSSHP).

We were there about this time last time,the crowds were fine,I seem to recall that the longest queues were for Test Track & they more or less stood like that all day_but it hadn't long been open!
Weather wise we had some of the best weather on any of our trips & when it did rain it was normally in the evening.
Towards mid/late Oct it will get busier as the British schools start their 1/2 term break,also columbus day is in there somewhere.
We're all hoping for a repeat of the weather we had last time!
Special events:MNSSHP starts 10/03
Hallow Scream at BG 09/26
Horror Nights at IOA 10/03 ( highly recommended-great fun!!)
We're doing them all!
Hope this helps SD

Yes! We'll (my DD12 and myself Dad-leaving wife and DS15 at home) be there at the BCV. I did not request BCV but everything else was sold out and the BC.

We're also going to the first MNSSHP on the 3rd. One question: What are the lime green ribbons all about?

I was at BCV this same exact week last year. We drove in. The weather couldn't have been more perfect considering two tropical storms (hurricanes, maybe) flanked the beginning and end of our trip. The crowds were really non-existent as far as WDW crowds go. Just about everything a walk-on.

Enjoy yourselves!!

[reldridge]

My wife and I will be @ WL 9-26 to 10-1, then Hard Rock @ Universal 10-1 to 10-4. Looking for low crowds and good weather
(No hurricanes PLEASE!!!!).

 

[ldudley]

We'll be at the Beach Club Villas(but we're not DVC members) from September 23-29! Pray for good weather!

 

[tootsiemolly]

I am also going Sept. 27-Oct. 6th. See you there

Lime Green is the color "code" for DIS

I'll have a lime green Mickey head from Home Depot on my lime green/blue lanyard--if y'all see a pale blonde with Mr. FFerret (aka Grumpy) and two rugrats say "howdy"

Most people use lime green ribbons.
