MousePlanet readers, friends and family are invited to register with Team MousePlanet and walk with our group. Utah Education Association convention (UEA, a.k.a. "Utah Escapes to Anaheim") – October 16–17. Expect unusually large attendance levels October 17–21 as Utah students and families take advantage of a 4-day weekend created by their school's participation in a state education convention. Not all Utah schools or teachers close for or attend UEA, but the impact on the Resort is usually noticeable enough to mention. Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend – November 14–16. All events are full. Details at the runDisney website."

Originally Posted By Oregonduck81 Thank you very much for all your info, sounds like it is about the best time for smaller crowds. We used to go every two years but our last trip was 2006 so it has been a long time.
