204.0. "Crowded On Labor Day??" by AKOV12::ISRAELITE () Wed Jun 13 1990 10:33

    We are planning a trip for the last week of August.  I know it will be
    hot, but I have been told that Southern schools start that week so it
    won't be very crowded.  Any truth to the rumor.  Our week will end the
    day before Labor Day.

204.1	Not very crowded at all	KAOA11::LAVIGNE		`Wed Jun 13 1990 11:05`	16
	I was there last labour day weekend for four days in 89. I found the crowds to be relatively light. In MK lines were walk right in to about 20 min. In Epcot we usually walked right in except for the Canada pavillion (it was crowded, since we are from Canada it was kind of fun to watch the crowds in there, BTW we don't all wear plaid, lumberjack clothes, and eat maple syrup all day ;-). The only real line ups we met were in MGM, as long as you get there early you shouldn't have to wait to long. Tipical times= Movie ride-25 min., backstage-first ones on, Indiana Jones -40min.,Animation show-15min. Hope this gives you an idea.... Have fun, regards, JP Lavigne
204.2	Two right answers!	TALLIS::JOHNSON	Phil Johnson DTN 226-6509	`Wed Jun 13 1990 16:33`	6
	True on both rumors. It will be hotter than heck! Southern schools (at least Florida's) start that week. Should be very light crowds. Phil
204.3	FWIW	REBOK::KILGORE	Dan @ Washington	`Tue Jun 19 1990 19:18`	10
	We went to WDW on August 23-30 1989. It was almost empty. The longest we waited was 20 minutes for the "Maelstrom" adventure in Norway. An added bonus was the park hours (MK- 9am- 12 midnight\| EPCOT 9am- 10pm\| Disney-MGM- 7am-9pm). Ah, the joys of watching the electric parade Twice in an evening if we wanted. IMHO, It's one of the best times to go (provided you can withstand the heat) since everything is practically deserted and the parks are still set up for dealing with a crowd.
