Jan/Feb or Sept/Oct - The DIS Discussion Forums

choirfarm · 11-25-2009, 06:14 AM

I am going to be taking a trip with my mom (65), my sister (38) and of course me (42). We will probably be staying off-site as my mom can get great condo deals. We can either go the end of January/ beginning of February or the end of September/ beginning of October. The first time I went to Disney is when my boys were teeny and it was in February and we had a great time. The second time was with all three children in September for free dining. We will be doing non-Disney things this time as my mom and sister love Universal and something about Harry Potter. My sister is without a job right now, so she is available to go in January. ( long story but she did contract work and will probably be rehired in March). September is my mom's birthday. I'm just not sure what I want to do.. Any help.

Well-I can help with the temperature and crowds the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. We go down often those weeks and the temps are still Florida warm and the crowds "manageable". It's a great time to go.

We love end of Jan/ beginning of Feb. Low crowds and mild weather! We have considered switching to end of September/beginning of October - only because of Free Dining (which isn't a factor for you since you'll be offsite), but we just keep booking Jan/Feb - year after year!

Have a great trip either way!

We're going Jan/Feb and I can't wait! I hear the crowds are lower. I hope!
