What to expect in September

[TandCmum]

we are goin 14th sept for 4 nights and staying at Newport bay...Sooooooo excited

anyway, what can we expect of crowd levels in the parks at this time. We had a day trip beginning of october midweek and the place was pretty dead, i don't think we waited longer than 5 mins for anything, however this time we are doing thurs-sun. What do you reckon wait times will be like, how easy will we get ressies at restaurants, also is there actually anything happening in September. Reading some of the brochures it seems a bit of a an off time. I know Lion King is closed and there are no fireworks. I'm not too bothered as we will just enjoy the parks for what they are but I'd like to know what to expect.

Thanks

Expect Saturday and Sunday to be busy days as the parks swell with local numbers.
Might be a good plan to make this one of your Studio park days

Hi
I went to from thursday-monday in september.
We wnt to the main park thursday afternoon and managed to do all the rides in fantasyland in a couple of hours as it was quite. We spent all day friday at disneyland and manged to do loads, as the rides were mostly walk on.
We did not go to the main park at the weekend so don't know how busy it was.
We went to the studio on the sunday which was not very busy at all.
The only problem with getting into a restaurant was planet hollywood on the saturday atfter 6, however we had no other problems getting into restaurants without booking.

We went last September and had a fantastic time. We had fantastic weather , got to see the hallowe'en decorations go up and during the week there were vitually no queues to talk of. Saturday was busy in the main park but the studios was quieter especially during stunt show times. Disney village was busy abot 8-8.30pm for dinner so I'd recommend booking restaurants in advance if you plan on going at this time.

We were there this past September and it was pretty empty. 2 and a half days and we were able to do every single ride in both parks- and my husband went on his favorites 2-3 times each.
