September Crowds

We are planning a trip on Sept. 5 thru Sept 8. If you know about the crowds please fill me in, thanks.

Simple answer: they'll be some of the lowest crowds you'll see in a given year. However, MK on a Saturday bucks the trend and is usually crowded. Beyond that, enjoy. You'll never have a less crowded park to tour.

Nothing is better than the crowds in September. The only thing that compares is late October and early Novermber. Have fun!!!

We were there last year the 8th through the 13th. The crowds were great and practically non-exhistant. Most rides were less than a 10 minute wait, and during some times the big rides (tower of terror, Rock'N Roller Coaster, Test Track) were walk on (you went straight into the pre-show). We weren't planning on going back until next year, but with this Fairytale package.... we're going to go again this September.


Oh yeah..... the only thing to keep in mind is the heat. It was VERY hot and muggy... but manageable if you are careful.

What crowds!?!?!?! It's great... no waits, no pushing & shoving.... it's simply the greatest time we have gone. We are trying December this year to see the decorations but we would not hesitate going back in September. Just keep in mind that you do have a chance for rain.... it's hurrican season. We have been there 3 times the week after Labor Day and only had a few days of rain (and even that was only a few minutes long)

This is our first time for September. Got bit by the Fairytale bug.

We arrive 9/1, Labor Day which I'm sure would be bad but do the crowds drop off then? Will Tuesday on be low?

Am hoping it would compare to Veterans Day in November when that hit on a Monday and Jersey week ending then too. Tuesday on it was empty.

Thanks, Sharon

By Tuesday, the crowds will be off considerably. By Wendesday, you'll own the place. I imagine the Fairytale Package will up the crowds from what I've seen in the past (got to assume that's why they're doing it), but it can't up them enough to ruin an unbelievable time, crowdwise, at Disney. Your Tuesday crowds may be up a bit, as people sometimes add an extra day to vacation. But mostly, your crowds are caused by folks who have to have their kids back to school pronto, and Floridians who are back at work on Tuesday.

Also, many corporations, cognizant of the fact that children are back in school, don't schedule conferences/seminars/trade show appearences during early to mid-September, in support of their employees with children.

Ride out Labor Day (good pool day!), hit Epcot Tuesday. Then do whatever the heck you want the rest of the week (noting that there's no such thing as light crowds in MK on a Saturday).
