Flights bought, DVC points rented no way out now.
Disney Lied. For those of you without a calendar handy, Fall this year starts on the 23rd of September. My dates: 14-September through the 21st. Specifically chosen for low crowd calendars and PRE-Star Wars crazy invasion.
I don't begrudge anyone their fantasy of donning a light sabre and drinking blue milk, but that wasn't intended to be MY Disney experience. Disney doesn't give a damn about me or my plans its just a money grab.
Note that I haven't been since 2013. This trips is because my son was too short to go onto Space Mountain and other rides last time we were there. He wanted to experience those. so I made a trip for him and I.
Its been 6 years since I've been to the "World." I'd like to remind people here there is a world outside of the one Disney has prepared for you. I've been to Scotland, Ireland, Alaska, Mexico, Bermuda and other places. Had a damn good time; My suggestion for those of you gripping about crowds is to take a break; just one year and spend your money visiting the REAL world. The more Disney increases their prices, the more these other destinations compare favorably its not as expensive as you think. My kids were more excited about visiting Scotland than they ever were about the parks driving on the wrong side of the road is more exhilarating than any Disney ride I've been on.
I tuned into this thread for help on what to do to make this a good experience, from what I've read so far this is new territory and everyone is just guessing including the crowd calendar people.
So stay flexible lower expectations and make the best of it.
That being said, its just the two of us. We are not saddled by strollers, wheelchairs or hundreds of pounds of excess body fat.
I also happened to have been in line back on May 25, 1977 to see this real cool new movie called Star Wars. Wouldn't mind visiting it if it is in the cards. If you happen to be there say hi. I'll be the one dressed like this as I enter the Death Star trash compactor also known as Galaxy's Edge.
