Are bugs a problem in October?

[tr-ray]

Just wondering if bugs (specifically mosquitos!) are a problem in October!


We are headed down in 2 weeks, and I am going through my packing list tonight!

Thanks! ::

When we went years ago, I don't remember any bugs. It was warm/coolish. Overall, pretty good weather. Had to bring out sweaters at night, but it might have changed since then, but I don't think so. We like Orlando's October weather.

Hoped I helped!

I wouldn't imagine Mosquitoes would be a problem anywhere during October. They are usually gone by then.

I've never been in October, but I vaguely remember getting bitten when we went in May.

We were there 2 years ago in Oct---it was extremely hot. However, I am a mosquito magnet and did not get bitten once.

It's still in the mid-80s during the day in October. There are actually very few times in the year when mosquitoes are not out in Central Florida.

OP, I got bit by a mosquito last night at Magic Kingdom. Of course, they love me and find me no matter where I am.

Disney sprays at night while you are sleeping. Have hardly even seen a single insect.

They banned most mosquito types from property several years ago -you should have no problem at all.

The love bugs were bad last october around this time.

Good point, never seen a single insect out of all the times ive been to Disney World!

Yep, we also saw quite a few of these last Oct.

There were mosquitos in Epcot on Tuesday, my DD suffered 3 bites within 20 minutes at the Kidcot area in "Canada"...well, we're used to them in Canada anyway

There were some lovebugs floating around at POP on Saturday Sept 24th, not too bad though, no swarms, and they quickly tapered off, just saw a few each day during the whole of the rest of last week

Love bugs can be bad in October,,, were HORRIFIC 2 years ago,,but I have to say it was only at The Animal Kingdom... once we left there we never saw another one. They are kind of creepy.. Being from the NorthEast, I had never seen them before and didnt know what they were....

If you're at the "It's Tough to Be a Bug" attraction in AK, then yes. Bugs are a problem in October, November, December.....etc, etc.

Otherwise, no. Bugs aren't a problem.

I can honestly report that I have been "bugged" by more people (rude, cranky, etc) than I have by real, honest-to-goodness bugs.

Even with cool nights, they still attack...and you are right, I cannot remember a time of year, that we don't have them! Too much standing water for them to breed, no matter the temps it seems...but the gnats have been insane this year!

Mosquito's are not permitted on Disney property. I did the Wild Africa Trek - walking through the wooded back area of Kilimanjaro Safari on a hot August day - no bites....and my guide said she doesn't bother with the bug spray because she never gets bitten in Disney.
Now...bedbugs are a different issue!

We saw lovebugs everywhere BUT Disney. AK had some... but nothing to be a bother. Other than that, I honestly am VERY sensitive to bug bites (mosquitoes, chiggers, noseeums, you name it) and even walking around after it rained at night I have not had one bite. Now we did have a Palmetto in our room at Pop (think massive flying cockroach)...but that's another story
