We are currently booked at the Beach Club Aug 30th thru Sept 6th. We are now thinking of going Sept 6th thru 13th might be less crowded. What week would you choose? TIA :)
 
The later week should be less crowded, but overall not big-time crowded for either one.
 
Labor Day is the 7th, so that weekend is going to be crowded. I guess it just depends on whether you want to begin or end with crowds. The days after Labor Day will probably be a smidge less crowded than the week leading up to it. There will be many getting in one last week before school starts. If it were me, I'd probably go with the second week.
 
We were just there the week of Sept 13-20th, so pretty much right after you're thinking of going. I can't speak to the few weeks prior, but honestly our crowd levels were great. We did not wait long at all for rides. We waited for Quick Service the longest, haha - probably from Free Dining! But seriously the crowds were awesome and from what I understand the weeks during/after Labor Day generally have low crowd levels. It was super hot, but we loved it!
 

I would say the later week. After LD the parks empty out. I don't even think LD weekend is all that busy.
 
We went to Florida last fall (2014)over labor day. We first went to Universal, Friday & Saturday, Arrived at Disney Sunday. All week was great for crowd level. Kids were back in school.
 
We went the second week last year (arrived in FL on LD) and it was great! There weren't a lot of crowds and walked on many rides, sometimes multiple times at once! We loved it so much, we're going back that same week!

I was there at Universal 7/8/9th September and then headed over to Disney till the 17th. I never believed that it could be so quiet!! The weekend of the 6th is Labor day and the weekend 11/12th this year is Night of Joy so both of those weekends will be "busy" but compared to other times of the year it's not a problem. So I would definitely recommend the 2nd week you're thinking about
 
We are taking all of your advice and booking Sept 6th thru Sept 13th. Beach club here we come!!!!!!
 
I'd do the latter, but I think the difference is negligible really.
YMMV
