I went this past fall. It is OK. It is definately no Daytona Bike Week but it is a nice get away. The weather is great, food great, scenery great but don't expect any manufacturers showin off their goods. They only hit the big 4 rallies.

I'm not into crowds, but I may cruise down this year since it's only 90 miles away and my grandson is down there.

The crowds are not that bad. There is only one major venue and the rest are spread out on the strip. Lots of people cruising but no major traffic jams. Definately worth the trip if you are within a days ride. Nice ride down to Fort Walton and back.
