Anyone there now, or just back?

Only 5 more days to go!

I was just wondering how the crowds are now that it is after labor day. Also, has it cooled down any? Are you getting the typical Florida afternoon shower? I am so excited!!

sorry, i am not there yet but saw your post and had to say we are leaving thursday and i am so excited, we were there last year for labor day and the crowds were not that bad, although we pushed our trip back this year because after labor day weekend last year the crowds really cleared out, also i dont know if youve heard but while we are there this year they have a promo that if you book for sept next year you will get free dining again, you just have to book your trip and put your $200 deposit and you are set for next year, so you get first pick of your hotel and room location, we will probably see you there, have fun!

I was in WDW this past weekend, and the crowds aren't bad at all.

It's still hot (high 80s - 90s), and there are showers every afternoon. Because 'hurricane season' is typically June - November here in Florida, it is normal to get rain every day. Don't worry! The rain won't last all day - just an hour or two.

Look on the bright side - you'll be in WDW, and you'll be hopping into attractions all day. What's a little water, anyway... After all, you go on water rides, right?

Go, have fun, enjoy yourselves!

I live about an hour away and it is still hot and we have showers pretty much every day but they rarely last. A lot of times it can be raining in one park and sunny in the other. I will be there this Saturday so am hoping the crowds are not too bad. Can't wait to see the refurbished HM!!!!!!

I'm leaving for my first trip ever in 18 days! I'm so excited!!

I'm there right now, waiting for DH to wake up. The crowds are very small, the heat is very high

LAst night we were going to MGM but there was such a shower we went back to the resort and hung out in the River Roost. We went swimming later and it was lightly raining

Yes it has rained everyday so far

We just got back on Sunday from 8 nights, 9 days at WDW. It didn't rain every day, but it rained several days in a row. Fortunately, the mid-afternoon rain showers were short, fairly gentle, and cleared up by evening.

The crowds were light after Labor Day weekend.

It was pretty hot and humid (92), but not unbearably so.

Just got back. Crowds won't be bad at all!

My sister and her family are there right now. They called me from MK this afternoon and she said it is not crowded at all and the longest wait they saw is 15 minutes.

She did say it is very hot. But, my sister never goes to the beach or out in the sun so, the heat is more of an issue to her.

We arrive on Thursday and can't wait!!

OH!! She also said NO love bugs!! I am really hoping they stay away!!

Thanks! I am so excited, I can hardly wait! Too bad we can not wear an intercot pin see we could find each other out in a crowd!

I saw someone wearing an intercot shirt once --but I didn't want to look like a dork going up to someone I dont know.

We leave next Wednesday! I can't wait!!

BugeyedMuggy · #12 09-12-2007, 05:45 AM

I wear my Intercot shirt & hat in hopes someone will just say HI. Be there in 10 days.

How long ago? I wore my Intercot t-shirt in August hoping that somebody would come up and say hello. Nobody did.

Have fun on your trip!

Seasonscraps · #14 09-12-2007, 09:48 AM

It was last Sept at the Wilderness Lodge - walking down the corridor towards Roaring Forks.

Next time I see someone, I'll say hi!

I'm glad to hear the parks are not crowded, we'll be there on Sunday!!!

Mnchknbrat1982 · #16 09-12-2007, 12:41 PM

glad to hear the crowds are light. We leave the 21st!

JabberJaws · #17 09-12-2007, 04:08 PM

We leave on the 28 for a long weekend!! Gonna hit up the F&W Festival while we are there too (first weekend). I do LOVE the F&W Festival...

MaryBelle · #18 09-12-2007, 04:11 PM

I'll be there tomorrow thru Saturday! Last minute trip DH booked for my sister and I for my birthday...I'm so excited! Glad to hear the crowds are low.

Was there from Sept.1 -8th! We experienced 2 rain showers while at MGM. The first shower was on the 1st. We had just gotten off the Great Movie ride so we decided to ride it again. After the second ride the sun was out in full force and the rest of the day was great! The next day of rain was the 7th while at MGM again. We waited in one of the shops til it stopped & then the sun was out and the rest of that day was perfect.

It was hot in the 90's, but there was no humidity. I was TOTALLY shocked at how wonderful the weather was the entire week that we were there.

We literally walked right on Tower of Terror, both days that we were at MGM. The longest wait we had was 30 minutes on most rides throughout the 4 parks. We only used fast passes for Everest, Soarin'. All the other waits were very realistic!

Hope this info helps!

I was there this past weekend and I am going again this weekend. The weather and crowds are not perfect but they are definitely getting better. I didn't see any bugs. The only real problem is the heavy storms but they don't last for more than an hour or so. Have fun!!
