Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I will be visiting the four Walt Disney World parks during the early part of October. What should I expect for crowds? Since I'm not staying on property how can I get a Magic Band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not sure why the crowds. I think it's a relatively dead season during the day. The Magic Bands can be purchased at the park or online. I think they're about $12.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Uh...that ends with Columbus Day weekend. That place is a zoo that Friday--Monday, as are most seasonal parks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was there Columbus Day weekend last year. Crowds were up, yes, but not unbearably so or at their summer or holiday levels. I'd expect a 6/10 in terms of crowds. Even on slow days at Disney, crowd sizes rarely get below a 4/10. Utilize the Fastpass + early in the day to maximize your ride time and the rest will fall into place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes, I saw that Undercover Tourist had it at a 5/10 those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I would caution using Undercover Tourist, I have seen multiple times their recommended days be horrific in the parks. easywdw.com has some of the best advise, crowd calendars, plus daily touring plans all for free. I attached the crowd calendar for your quick review, but follow the link to the full month and day by day breakdowns. http://www.easywdw.com/calendar/october-2014-walt-disney-world-crowd-calendar/#more-13188 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
