[TheDonAndMikeShow]

Just got the email and all of my end of August dates dropped a lot. WOW! And I have almost no Fastpasses at this point. This should help...

I got an update about August too. Hoping it's right!

I also got updates that my week in mid October dropped!

I am not subscribed but can see the first few days of August and even they are all 4,5 and 6.

I just received the same type of email except for our end of November trip -- now seeing crowd levels of 1-2 -- It will be very interesting to see how our November trip compares to our recent April trip where crowd levels were between 5-7. I wonder what they base their changes on. You would think that there should be a noticeable difference between a crowd of 6 to a 1.

I received the same for late September -early October. I'm not sure, though, since accomodations are hard to come by in that time period.

Interesting! I'm still expecting longish queues due to FP+ and Disney staffing to the crowds (or lack there of). I'm more curious (and hopeful!) about how busy all the restaurants (TS and QS) and the resort pool will feel.

In the Priceline Express thread people have been getting Pop for like $70 a night and have seen AKL for $150 so I am thinking everyone in August might be seeing some good crowd levels.

They dropped ours for July and it seemed pretty accurate to me. We were at the park with the lowest number more often than not and waits were very tolerable (except FoP and 7DMT)

 

[Chelsey Boren]

Ours dropped for September too. I’m optimistically hoping it’s true!

 

[StacyStrong]

They dropped my dates in December. There are a lot of 1 and 2s. I highly doubt that lol but I'll take it

 

[ShelbyK]

They dropped for my dates NEXT MAY.. what is going on?

 

[LoganBrown1990]

We didn't have THAT big of a drop, but our late Sept. dates dropped too! That's always a good email to open.

 

[Texans_loyal]

Going in August and September, this is great news!

 

[JerseyGuy24]

very happy to hear the news, going in exactly 2 weeks!

Similar email for November. A lot of 1s and 2s. Frankly, I don't believe it's even remotely correct. It's marathon weekend, the start of Jersey week and the second to last Food and Wine weekend. I guess we'll see but unless Disney is seeing some dramatically lower bookings/crowds this year, I can't see it being right.

Got same for trip in 10 days. Not counting on it though... Or if a 2 level drop is that noticeable. But guess better than an increase.

 

[ShelbyK]

Is this all because they think people are postponing until after Star Wars opens? I feel like just as many people want to squeeze in 1 more trip BEFORE it opens and the craziness begins

Next month all dates will go up by 2 points
