How crowded have the eateries been?

Ill be there on the 3rd for 8 nights & still have 3 days wo ADRs. i figure on using some CS credits on the 3rd or 4th day . wondering if I have to worry too much about getting in TS places though w free dining going on.

In my experience the good TS eateries are booking up during most of the year. I just called to inquire about making some changes during our November trip and nothing I was looking for was avaliable and that is not during "free dining". IMHO you may have a very difficult time finding something you want.

I don't know about this year, but when I was there last year they were turning people away.

We went last year during free dining and although the parks were not very crowded the TS places were wall to wall people. There were rarely any empty seats available.
