People get weird perspectives on this, probably based on the fact it has got busier across the year in general.

Hmm I've actually been several times and October has been the busiest I've ever been. All my other trips have been school holidays which are usually busy and this was the worst.

If you ask locals / APs they will tell you just how busy October is.

To be honest all I'm doing is telling OP it was super busy. It doesn't bother us as we expect WDW to be busy and we don't mind queues and crowds at all. I'd go back in October but it was very busy
