Spent today (Monday 10/16) at MK...WOW...it was PACKED!

Yes, it's a Monday. I know MK is typically busy on Mondays....but WOW!

I'm curious as to why. I swore I thought it would be lighter with kids in school, middle of October, etc. Wasn't the case. I saw many families with school age kids at MK today.

Is the middle of October a holiday anywhere?

Or is MK just ALWAYS packed with no "real" light season during the year.

P.s. Also noticed many rides that went down- Pirates was the bigger one. People were not happy with waiting in line only to have to turn around and leave after a 40 minute plus wait.
