So now that October is over let's talk crowd levels?

Epcot was jammed Friday night but it seemed people were just walking around, none of the food booths had lines. There was a huge convention that spilled out around 830 PM from between Canada and England "the national association of gifted children" they really jammed up the place then a few sprinkles fell and many people left leaving it less crowded till 10 pm closing. Also there were three Marathons this weekend. It seemed like food sales were light. Prices were reasonable. Saturday the EPCOT parking lot closed people were redirected to park at the MK which seemed odd. During the week crowds were manageable everywhere we went. The Halloween party Sunday night was very good. Not crowded.

Epcot parking lot was not working at full capacity because 1/3 of it was being used for Wine and Dine half marathon weekend

We were there pre-Halloween week. Going to MK at rd on a party Sunday Oct 23 was the best decision we made. Theory worked!! Everyone ran to Mine Train at opening at 8 and we had almost 3 hours of walk-ons and a very early lunch by ourselves at an empty QS. I would say every other park/day was average crowd consistently. Thurs Oct 27 MK felt a little bit busier as a party day vs Sun. We worked our FP+ to the max, always front of line for rope drop, my older son got to use rider switch 3x so that increased his rides, and we were able to book it really fast through crowds to cut down wait times on bus. Example: after Illuminations on Mon Oct 24 we ran to the bus as soon as we knew it was the ending coming up and were on the second load. All four rows of bus lines behind us were full of people leisurely walking back at 10:00. Good luck with that. Food and Wine was a madhouse Fri Oct 28 as predicted so we did a lot of the juvenile b list attractions like Imagination that day plus a bunch of shopping and popcorn refill buckets. Lol.

We were there over Columbus Day (right after hurricane). We found crowds to be great. We avoided MK on non party days and did just fine.

Same here.

We were there Oct 24 - Nov 1 (and this is our third time going during this time) and it was the LEAST crowded trip we've ever had, save for one evening at MK that was pretty packed (but we expected that). We actually didn't even use all our FP+. 7dmt was 30 minute wait at 10am our last day in MK!
