why was MK VERY crowded Sept 12th (or was it the 17th)

[nuzmom]

Yes, my mind is still "on vacation". We spent the day at MK on Sept 12th and 17th. One of these days - I think Sept 12th - it was CRAZY and PACKED with people. I had not seen MK this crowded in Sept. Did anyone else notice this? Any ideas why?

Btw - we went to MK again on Sept. 20th. If I have my dates correct, the 17th and 20th had the normal Sept crowd level.

I was there on the11th and it was dead. On the 12th we went to MGM, also dead, and then Blizzard Beach, which was very crowded at first and then went down to nothing by about 3:00. We did notice that when ever we would see crowds that week, they either had a British accent or spoke Spanish. Maybe England and South America had vacations that week?

We were there on the 17th and while it wasn't dead, I wouldn't say it was overly crowded either. The wait times weren't too bad until late afternoon.

I was there on the 12th for my birthday and it wasn't very crowded. We walked on to most rides or had short waits. You could do everything without having to rush from ride to ride. We didn't even get one fast pass.

Was "Night of Joy" on either of those days?

We went over on the 17th for Spectromagic. Walked right up and got a prime spot 10 minutes before it started (8 pm, I think). So maybe it was crowded earlier in the day, but it wasn't that night.
