Yes. Last year I accompanied my brother for his short business trip to Orlando. No way I pay for vacations at this time of year anymore. Anyway, I met up with @UK-Trigg and we did all 4 WDW parks in a day. We just did a sampling of rides, but we still only ended up using one fast pass. FOP was, I believe 50 minutes even though Navii was down. Much slower than when I was vacationing the previous few years. Yes, and it was crazy uncomfortable roasting hot. TSL, with no shade, was unbearable.....I'm looking forward to our November trip. Touring is so much more enjoyable when the temperatures are in the high 70's. Mid November, early December prices are about the same as September. No good reason to brave the storms for travel and the heat in the parks to go to Orlando in late August/September.Magic Kingdom at around the 20th of September last year was as quiet as I'd ever seen it. Ever. The rides we'd FastPass'd -- Big Thunder, Splash, and Haunted Mansion -- were all walk-ons the entire afternoon, as were many other rides, rendering our FPs effectively useless. Which was fine as far as I was concerned. We were able to do 20 attractions in 8 hours.
It was also 93 degrees and I'll never go to Orlando when there's even a chance of that temperature ever again, despite the favorable crowds.
