Best Dates

[CalSea12]

Hey guys,

I am looking at 3 time frames to go to WDW, they are all very close together, so I am not sure if there will be much of a difference. What do you all think?

Sept 28- Oct 5
Oct 19-26
Oct 26- Nov 2

I see there is a pretty big variance on the crowd calendars?

Your first and third options will be the least crowded. I chose option 1 because I love the heat and option 3 includes Halloween weekend (which we like spending at home).

Agreed. We usually go the end of Sept/ beginning of Oct and really enjoy it. It can be hot and hunid that week though.

Since I am actually going from Oct 21- Oct 26, I'll go with the middle option

So sept is really hot and humid? Will it cool down alot by the mid-end of October?

Anytime after mid-Sept is hit or miss with the humidity. The later in the year, the greater your chance of having a more comfortable day. But I have been in November with temps in the 90s and high humidity. It is Florida.

Another question is why is mid October the busiest of the options? Is it because of Columbus Day?

More schools have fall break in the middle two weeks of the month.

I chose the first option because we went that week in 2011 and it was FABULOUS. It was warm, it was not crowded, we did the Food & Wine AND Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween.

It was one of our best trips. Forget it. . . who am I kidding. . . every trip to Disney is the best!

You first option would be the best crowd wise. October is getting busier and busier every year. Fall breaks are getting more popular, and the parks are packed. Weather wise, not much difference in those weeks.
