I've gone on a Saturday multiple times. Don't skip it if that's your only day. Get there early - world showcase officially opens at 11, but I've seen booths open at 10:30 many times. Don't forget that when something opens at 11, you don't get there at 11. If possible, I would book the Parisian Breakfast (because it's awesome) and then when it ends (around 10-10:30) you'll be in the back of the world showcase and first in line for the booths back there. Or, get to the international gateway around 10am and enter on that side. Skip the heat of the day. Once it starts to get really crowded (around 2-3pm) leave (I suggest going back to the pool haha) and come back that evening for fireworks and another chance at the booths. Also, split your group up. It's a colossal waste of time for all of you to wait in the same line. We send each person to a different booth and meet back up to share and try everything. Sometimes that means finding the last person who's still in line and sharing with them. Rinse and repeat! People complain about portion size vs price but honestly I can only eat 2-3 things by myself before I'm completely stuffed. Sharing with a group of 4 or so means you get to try a lot more things! To balance $$$ with this I suggest everyone gets one of the little gift cards they sell. You all put $50 or whatever on them, and that way you all spend the same amount of money and you don't have to worry about one person getting the short stick or having to do the math in the parks to keep track. It's really not a big deal to go on Saturday if you're early and accept that it's going to be crowded. I'm a passholder and I've been going in September/October on weekends (even Columbus Day weekend) since 2014. The lines usually move really fast and if you split your group up you'll still have 4-8 things to try pretty easily.
