Title: Early October In General
Post by: DisneyManiac on August 22, 2017, 04:20:03 PM
What is it like in early October, looking at roughly the first full week of October?

I usually go during the Halloween half term, however I am deciding about just before that, still in the Halloween season. I just would like to know what the weather and crowds would be like, can anyone help me?

Hello,
I went last year from october 5th to october 7th.
Crowds weren't too bad, the longest queues we saw were around 30/45 minutes but most were around 20 minutes.
The weather was fine. Didn't have any rain, bit chilly in the evenings, especially when the breeze picked up a bit and we were stood still watching the show. decent jumper and a light scarf was enough.
Wasn't too crowded in the park in general but would still recommend booking restaurants before you go as we struggled to find somewhere when we decided to go for dinner. n
as this year is the 25th anniversary it may be busier than last year but otherwise it's a great time to go.
:)

I am planning for next year, not this year by the way.

We usually go midweek at the end of September, beginning of October. It's great! It's usually warm during the day, but chilly in the morning and at night. Lines are short, too. I usually don't book my meals until I get there.

Try avoiding anything around october 3rd. It's a national holiday over here and the bigger states (like NRW, which is rather close to France) schedule their school holidays around it, so Germany tend to flood the park around that time Last week of september or second week of October are pretty much fine
