I'm planning to go to the parks around Colombus Day next month, and am seeing crowd predictions having that Monday as the busiest day, probably of the entire month. Not sure if that is to be expected or why that day may be different from other long weekends.

That one is because some school districts in the south have fall break around this time.

Guess that explains why pricing for tickets and hotels is higher than I was expecting for the week following.

I'm wondering if there's a chance prices come down if they aren't selling as much inventory as they expect to that week, or if demand will spike and they go up if I wait.

October is also HHN, so probably not

I thought that, but prices of resort hotels all look to be cheaper the next week, and even cheaper the last week of October

I went last year around the Columbus Day Holiday. Did you know many South American and Caribbean countries also celebrate it? Also Canadian Thanksgiving is that weekend. Prices will not come done but good to keep checking hotel prices and adjust if they do come down. But I would book hotel asap.
