I was in the World after Labor Day with the exceptions of Splash Mountain and the new Mine Train all other rides seemed to be a walk on. We had no real need for our fast passes. We walked onto Soarin twice.
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.)
I'm thinking free dining did him in.

I had some friends there for the last week. Sounds like they'll be rubbing in all their small crowd stories. Plus they get to see the Epcot entertainment one last time. Jealous.

I just came back from a long girls weekend and was very happy with the crowds. I had to stay behind the morning everyone else went to the Studios but my Mom told me the rides had little to no wait. I spent Monday at the Magic Kingdom and was happy to find the crowd not at all overwhelming. I was with my aunt who hasn't been there since she came with my parents and me when I was 2. The mine train, which I was dying to try, had a wait of over an hour. We went to that first thing and was told it had been shut down for some reason and that may have thrown off the times for the rest of the day. It was very important we do Space Mountain and that was about 20 minutes, if that. It was a very hot day but that can't be helped, other than that it was a great day in the park.
I went in Sept once when I got my MBA. It was great for crowds, but there was major heat. We learned to do the attractions until about noon, hit the AC places or back to the resort until about 3-4PM and then back to the park until they closed. Great times and no real waits.
