DW and are are headed to WDW Oct 17-24. I'm wondering what kind of crowds to expect. Are the ride lines really long then?

We were there the first week in October last year and the lines were really good. We made it to the parks at opening each day and many rides were walk ons. I have a membership to the touring plans website which shows crowd levels and the levels for the week you are going are mostly 4's & 5's - I think you'll have a great time with weather and crowds. Have a wonderful time!!:mickey:

We're going the same time and usually pick this week because the crowds are usually manageable and the weather good. Lines at popular attractions (Soarn, TSMM) can be long. Saturday night at MK will be very busy and evenings and weekends at Epcot during Food and Wine tend to be quite busy as well. But you will enjoy the week and nothing will be overwhelming.

I agree, having been many times in October, it is in my opinion the best weather and very minimal crowds. You picked a great time to go!

We went that same exact week last year and crowds were fine. It was pretty crowded at EPCOT on evenings and weekends due to F&WF, but you can hit the food booths during the day and miss the crowds entirely. Overall, it was more crowded than what we are used to seeing in Jan/Feb which is when we usually go, but not bad at all. We loved the weather and the extra events like F&WF and MNSSHP. It's a great time to go IMHO.

We use to go during summer, but for the last 8-9 yrs, we've gone in Oct. due to our DD fall break from school. Better weather, less crowds, and best of all, The Epcot Food & Wine Fest....YUMMY!! :thumbsup:
