This is just so wrong!

Don't fret too much about CD having a big impact on crowds. Most schools around the country don't get CD off. I live in SC and no schools here get it, and only two small counties in Florida give CD off. Most schools do a "Fall Break" of sorts either early in October (first weekend) or late in October (last two weekends).

Basically, October is just busy the whole month now. Really, there aren't many dead days at the parks at any point during the year, at least not their used to be. Early (post labor day weekend) to mid Sept is still probably the best time to go.

For the OP, I always avoid MK on Saturdays. I know some people don't think so, but it has been my experience that the day of the week you go to a particular park definitely makes a difference.

That being said, the only time I've ever seen a significant wait (more than 5 mins) at TTA was when we were there Dec. 29 and 30 one year. Talk about CROWDS!

I'm sad to report that the 4 horsemen are here today. There is currently a 25 min wait for Journey into Imagination... but then there was a 35 min wait for Spaceship Earth earlier (only 10 min now).

The lines were very light for us during our time in September (17-23), but MK was very very crowded on the monday, our last day (22). More than 30 minute waits for about everything.

My family has stopped going in October due to the crowds. They used to be very light, but now have become very crowded, possibly due to everyone finding out that it was a light month. lol.
