My family will be going from 8/26-9/1. The operator that booked the trip said this is a good time to go due to a lower volume of guests. Has anyone visited at this time? I am just curious. Thanks in advance for your responses.

We were there from 8/26 to 9/3 (something like that, lol) last year and it was a nice time. The crowds were low, I think the longest wait times we saw was 15, *maybe* 20 minutes. Some schools have already started. The Saturday before Labor Day (the day we left) was starting to get crowded at MK at least, but that's to be expected.

It was hot, so be prepared for that. It rained for about an hour or so each afternoon, but I just bought a hat, used an umbrella when I absolutely had to (while standing outside waiting for DH at Mission Space), and went with it. A lot of people left the parks during the rain, but not us! It just cooled us off for a little while.

I posted detailed trip reports if you'd like to search for them on this board, they should be a page or two back under "Remembering the Magic".

Any more questions, just ask!

I've never been at that time, but be prepared for more people than usual because of the Free Dining Plan promotion that is going on at that time of year.

We always liked going to DW in October, but it seems that even October is crowded anymore. Our very favorite trip was the one we took in May of 2004. The weather was perfect and the parks were very managable.

Have a great trip!
