WARNING!!! October crowd levels at WDW will be....

[Bullseye]

We'll thats just great!! I moved my trip from June to October 9-19 and was looking forward to not having to deal with summer crowds and now I find out you're bringing crowds and crowds of people with you!

D'ohhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[suevee]

Bullseye,

I am deeply sorry, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.....

One good note is that no matter the crowds we have always had a great time, barring one ho-hum time. But I think that was because we were not in the right frame of mind......but that was still fun, just not the greatest.

Oh, great! Guess when I'm going to WDW? Oct. 14-23, just like "crowd jinx" Suevee! Well, I hope this is the trip that disproves your theory.

Whatever the crowds, I hope we all have a wonderful time! I can't wait!

Where will you be staying?

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Oh no you don't!!! We'll be there from the 19th-26th and I won't allow you to bring your bad mojo!

Wallawallabingbong-hapalapaloo-I un-jinx you!

You now have GOOD luck and the crowds will be low for you this trip!

(ahem, if they aren't, I will hunt you down at the parks and have to un-badmojo you in person!!!)

Keep posting your trip plan so that the rest of us can go elsewhere while in WDW. I plan to be staying at FW 10/19-10/25 while in WDW. Where are you staying?!!?

You couldn't have picked a better month if you are serious about removing your curse, You will have many opportunities to remove the curse unless you want to be the Pied Piper. What a good costume idea, Did you plan on dressing up like that?

Thanks for the update. I've stayed at Shades of Green over 12 years ago. It was nice.

I see you have your whole trip planned. I'm waiting to find out which days have extra hours etc. We also have hoppers and can't make our ADR's until July. Have fun with all the kids. We are two big kids who are celebrating our birthdays on 10/23 and 10/24.

I don't think it counts if the little ones actually belong to you

We can't make our ADR until July 16. I plan based on last years hours so I have a basic idea of what we want to do. Then I refine it when the hours are released. No day is set in stone until the ADR's are made!!

My Mom's birthday was 10/23. It is a very special day!! Have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (in advance)

 

[tkitty]

Well, I will try to help, and be out of there on the 10th. So our party of 6 won't be in the way.
And thank you all for waiting till I leave to bring on the crowds.
Other than Columbus Day weekend, It may not be so bad.

You are so very welcome!!!

Where will you be staying?

A little late on the reply, but I'll be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas for the 14-16, then moving to Old Key West for the 16-23.

We'll be at SoG October 4-10 and we're hoping it isn't crowded! However, checking the SoG ressie calendar, it looks like October is pretty well booked-up, unless there are TAs holding blocks of unreserved rooms or something. We have our concerns about a crowded SoG with the bus service sounding limited.
This will be our son's first trip since 1990 when he was 8 yo. He's in the Navy now and says he would really like to visit WDW again so we are, thanks to the Salute!

We will be staying at SoG as well. We have often stayed in the summer when the resort is full and never had a problem with the buses. Remember there are only 596 rooms at SoG. It is much smaller than most of the other resorts.

Not sure where you're getting your information from but I only see 4's 5's an 6's for your week - that is very low crowds.

It's meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Funny. A joke. Get it?

 

[Capt. Barbosa]

OK are sure you don't want to change to the following week?

I checked your plans the only time I see a problem for me is Wed. Morning I was planning on going to the MK for breakfast at Crystal Palace. Now youv'e thrown my plans to chaos THANKS.
