Walt Disney World Aug 28 - 31st How crowded is it?

Question

How are the crowds generally the last weekend in August? Are they better than mid August or Mid July?

Answer 1

Better than mid Aug and July but still pretty crowded.

Answer 2

I just answered this question for another person, so I created a blog entry rather than re-type the answer.  Check out http://disneyworldadvice.blogspot.com/20...

Basically, there are a couple of web sites you can go to and view crowd predictions and find out the best day of the week to go to each park.

Answer 3

Not crowded at all, it's mostly just tourists trying to get their last vacations in, but for the most point not crowded, because florida has already started school, so i don't think it should be busy

Answer 4

The best time to go ever is thanksgiving day no one was there.One yr we did it as thanksgiving instead of food all day and it worked out perfect.walked right onto the rides.

Answer 5

All of those dates are crowded.  For the past few years Disney has offered a free meal plan late aug.-sept, causing crowds.  We have been to Disney during mid-july, mid-aug, and late-aug. many times over the past few years (three times during the free meal plan)----it is always crowded.  Free meal plan time is so crowded that Disney has had to get creative in their table-service offerings.

Prior to the meal plan:

Magic Kingdom tended to have shoulder to shoulder crowds Labor Day weekend, while other parks were completely empty.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

It will still be pretty crowded, but with careful planning, you can stay ahead of the crowds. Sounds like your trip is coming up soon, so rush out to your nearest bookstore and buy "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World". Best $20 I spend in preparation for my family's trip to WDW July 25-August 2, 2008. That is one of the busiest times of the year, but by using the touring plans in the book, we hardly waited in line at all. Our longest wait in any line was 45 minutes when we had just missed getting into "The Festival of the Lion King" show at Animal Kingdom. All of our other waits were less than 15 minutes!

Answer 7

Its not really crowded. Florida students are back in school and so are most of the other states. It wont be that crowded but you are going to have to wait in line still.

Have Fun!!

Answer 8

I have been to disney 22 times and it is pretty darn crowded at that time

Answer 9

Better, yes.  Good, no.  Still pretty crowded as a lot of people are still on break from school.  If there's any chance that you could wait until the next week after Labor Day, you would see a big difference in crowd level.

Answer 10

I've been there the last 2 days and it was still pretty busy- even with the bad weather.  Try waiting till sept it will defenilty slow down

Answer 11
