Best days of the week

Hubby and I are coming to Key West in October (not for Fantasy Fest), staying right in the heart of the action at Pier House. We%26#39;re thinking about coming Mon-Thu, leaving Fri. Will we be missing anything by not being in town for the weekend? Or should we consider a Thu-Sun visit? We are 40-something empty-nesters who would like to drink, sight-see some, do the seaplane, party in Mallory Square, maybe catch a drag show. We are driving down from Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks all.

Best days of the week

thurs thru sun would be my pick

Best days of the week

You can do all of these things any day of the week.

My husband and I are mid-30%26#39;s and we like to have good meals, good drinks and walk around to check things out. We arrived at KW at noon on Tues (last week) and departed at 4pm on Friday and we had a great time. There was little crowd since this was the start of off season and Oct is off season as well. Sloppy Joes and Mallory Square at sunset were plenty crowded to be fun but not so much that you couldn%26#39;t get in and get a good view. There were cool people to visit with at all of the bars and we never had to wait to be seated at dinner. My idea of perfect timing!

BTW, we rented bikes and loved having them for our stay, the scooters looked fun too but biking is so easy since the cool part of town isn%26#39;t large and the island is flat.

Its really not going to matter. Like BG said above, you can do all of those things any day of the week. Go when you can get the best deal. FYI - Pier House has started some pretty serious renovations that are going to go on for some time. They are doing it in phases so not to impact the resort too horribly but I would double check what will be going on while you are there.

Monday through Thursday will allow you to do everything that is available in Key West that you have time for. You would not be able to do Sunday brunch at Martin%26#39;s Cafe but since they moved to Duval Street they have taken on a South Beach aura which doesn%26#39;t fit in. And you would miss the Sebago Island T%26#39;ing as it only goes out three days a week but you can replace this with the same type of trip on Danger Charters.

If you go over a weekend you would most likely wait at several places, sometimes as much as an hour or more to be seated; Blue Heaven for breakfast or dinner, Pepes for breakfast, Croissants de France for breakfast.

Key West gets noticably more crowded from Friday on through a weekend, so if I had the choice I%26#39;d do the Monday - Thursday instead of the other.

A day in Key West is better than a week in Orlando, so I%26#39;d say ANY (and all) days are good! :)

The best days in KW are the ones that end with Y. :)

what dates will you be down? wife and i will be at the Pier House Oct. 10th thru the 18th... if you there either Mon or Fri. you can catch the turtle races at Turtle Krawls..........

flattop nailed it!

~~Hi Major! We usually opt for the Thurs-

Mon. trip just becaue it works for us. Yes

you can do any of those things mentioned any

day of the week but sometimes the better events

or shows fall on the wknd.

The BEST day of any week is the one you arrive

to KW on!!!!!!!!!

~Cheers~
