I am typically the week before Thanksgiving or week after Thanksgiving kind of visitor because I like the lower crowds. I have also done late Jan/early Feb a few times (including this year) and early May once. But the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving are most typical for us. I have not been in October (except for the nightmare of a Columbus Day weekend trip two years ago) in many years and I know the crowds have increased considerably with Fall breaks and FW. We will not be hitting any parks on Saturday regardless of timing. What should I anticipate for crowds compared to my normal weeks for the third week of October? Are Fall breaks over by then since Columbus Day has passed? I can't go the last week of October because kids don't want to miss Halloween at home.
