Any difference mid-May or early June?

It's been several years since we have been to WDW, and we usually go in Jan/Feb/March. I am debating a quick trip in mid-May or first week in June with my daughters. I know it's only a few weeks difference, but any advantages to either? thanks so much!

Mid May is usually a little less crowded (although lately it seems it's ridiculously crowded all the time) as most of the country is still in school so people wait until their kids are out of school. School is normally ending here in FL and varies by county when it actually ends.
Heat wise - not much difference.

Our last trip was mid-May and the crowds were low to moderate. That was pre-pandemic though. We are going the first two weeks in May this year and I'm starting to expect it to be more crowded (sadly) than last time.

We went to Disney in 2019 before covid in mid-May and some of the parks were wall-to-wall people on some of the weekdays. You just never know how crowded it will be on a specific day and no one has any better crystal ball to predict the future. Disney has tried to spread out various events to fill in what they expect to be slow periods, so over the years it has become crowded virtually all of the time. Even though schools were still in session, we saw a large number of young children so I assume parents still take them out of school even if near the end of the school year.

Whether more people will travel if covid continues to wind down is anyone's guess. Those who lost their jobs and/or business during covid are unlikely to take pricey vacations. I doubt most people will take 2 vacations this year if they didn't take 1 last year. No one has any idea if more people will go to Disney instead of travel overseas. Will more people from other countries come here offsetting any level of international travel from those in the USA is also unknown. I suspect you will find those timeframes equally busy.

Don’t go during early or mid-may unless you can handle a swarm of love bugs which will literally torture you every second of the day while you are there.

We've gone both times, and as far as I can remember May was slightly more wet than June

But the biggest thing about May (again as far as memory serves, it's been a while) was all the school kids taking their school trips, at least while we were there. This was pre-pandemic.
