DH dreading 2019 trip to Yellowstone.
We have been to YNP 5 times, first in 2005 last 2016. My favorite park hands down , after the last visit, not so much for DH. Each visit has been arriving second week in September with a 2 week stay....

I have heard rumors that Zion and Yellowstone are considering only allowing tour buses and trams in the parks to relieve the congestion from individual cars
Zion already does during the busy season--no cars in the park. Don't know about tour buses, and don't remember seeing any at any of the stops inside the park.
Zion is considering making people make reservations just to get into the park.

IOW, check seasons closely. What happens in the park is that the schedule may say, for example, that the cabins at Canyon are open until the 12th of Never, but you are not told that only two cabins are open on the 12th, the rest started closing on the 1st. It's difficult to find staff late in the fall.
We went to Yellowstone in the 3rd week of September several years ago, just before Grant Campground was closing. We scouted sites because we're a 40-foot motorhome and have solar, and when we went to the office to get a site, we were told those sites were not available because they'd already had their end-of-season work done on them, and they had to squeeze us in to to adjacent sites, accessed by backing down the road.
And it was cold and dark in there!
