Hi, all!
I am out of practice when planning a Disney trip. We went twice a year for several years, our last time being Nov. 2010. We stopped because my husband nearly died from spinal meningitis in March of 2011 and I was also 6mo. pregnant at the time.
He's all healed up now for the most part (still some lingering issues that are cognitive), but physically in tip top shape. The baby is now 2 & our other kids will be 8 and 6 when we go.
Here's my deal. We can essentially go anytime we want to. The kids go to an amazing private school. We don't take uniformed fall breaks so we essentially get travel days to use instead of being out with the public school system. They are sent their work they would miss and they get credit for doing an oral report on anything they learn. Disney is great for this! The way they do their "breaks" allows us to go to Disney when the crowds are at their lowest and it's not blazing hot.
We used to prefer fall - after Thanksgiving and into the first couple weeks in December. Is this still a relatively low crowd time? We enjoyed the Christmas party. OR we would also consider going into October to do the Halloween party. Which time frame would you recommend for lowest crowds? I am super excited since I now have Google Glass and plan to do hangouts from live in the parks & on rides!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
