Low crowds!

Parks are great. Waited less than half hour for mine train, 10 min wait for soaring. Most things are walk ons.

Life is good.

That is awesome! We are leaving on Thursday and driving down! We'll be there Sunday! Hope that the good luck continues!

Hmmm, maybe they'll inject some extra sleeping 'synthetic' hormones into the turkey and everyone will be passed out over the weekend!

Give it a another couple of weeks until the F&W hit then up the numbers go! Over Labor day weekend when we did our vacation it was nice like that as well!! Didn't even use many of the FP we booked because we could just get on right away!

We are here now also and there is NO crowds at all. Gotta love Sep.

**grumpyguy** · 09-10-2014, 07:17 AM

Hope that holds for the next couple weeks..
We leave Friday morning for 10 days,low crowds make things so much less stressful!!

Oh yeah, don't think the Food & Wine Festival starting early this year isn't to bump up September crowds. Disney doesn't want any low times.

**etibbetts** · 09-10-2014, 07:43 AM

That is great to hear! My family is leaving to go to WDW on Saturday for two weeks!

**Strmchsr** · 09-10-2014, 07:46 AM

With all of the folks posting about being down there next week (me included) sounds like it the crowds might go up. I definitely hope not.

**pox24** · 09-10-2014, 08:20 AM

We drove up on the 3rd for a long week. We did alot of attractions twice. Once Stand By, because they were so short and once with our FP.

We leave in 9 days also - a little worried about crowds because now they're starting the F&W festival a week earlier. Can't wait!

September has always been a great time for the parks. School just starting back, most families are hesitant to take kids out of school that soon, so you get the bare minimum crowds. Great time to go!

**VacationDisney** · 09-10-2014, 11:09 AM

We were there August 30th to September 7th and the crowds were low. We noticed if you hit the parks, first thing, & did the really popular rides you could walk right on. Some rides we didn't even use the FP+ passes.

Later in the day Soarin', Mine Ride, Toy Mania, Splash Mountain (rides like that) had wait times of 45 to 60 minutes in the afternoon.

Soooo Jealous!!!!

Enjoy

**MNNHFLTX** · 09-10-2014, 04:10 PM

Yep, my husband is at WDW attending a business conference and had two half-days in the parks (MK and Epcot) and he said that the wait times were great! The only thing not-so-great was that the restaurants were still pretty much booked up for dinner--very difficult to do a walk-up (they tried every restaurant in MK and ended up at the Kona Cafe at the Poly instead.)

Next year we picked September to go for 10 days following Labor Day. Last year we went the week before Labor Day and the crowds were definately managable. Now to keep fingers crossed that Crowds will be down, free DDP hits, and the poly construction is complete. Oh and its now 364 days and counting
