Best Month to go

[izzy25]

Weather wise, what is the best Month to go if you don't like the heat and humidity? We were there Sept 2104 and the highs were upper 80's to mid 90's and horrendous humidity. I'd like to avoid the excessive heat and high humidity for our trip next year.

We were there in September of 2014, as well as September of 2013. The crowds were awesome, but the weather was hot, hot, hot! This year my older daughter started kindergarten, and we decided to move our vacation to November, so she wouldn't miss any time at school right after starting. While the crowds were a bit heavier in November, they still were excellent! We win the week before Thanksgiving, and while there were a few crowded days, there were many days which were not very crowded at all. The weather was also perfect! Every day I was in the low eighties, perfect for swimming entering the park. We were also able to wear light jackets in the evening, so it wasn't too hot, and felt like perfect fall evening. I understand that November can be a bit hit her then, so I think we are probably very lucky. But the weather during the November trip this past year was by far the best.

It all really depends. Florida weather can change in a matter of a day. For example when I went in January 2015 the day we arrived it was in the 70s. The next couple days it was in the 40s. The day we left it was 80. I've also been in July where it's 80+ with humidity but then where it's not so bad. If you want to avoid the major heat it's best not to go from like May to October. Some years tho that heat can extend into October or even November. You just really never know for sure.

Maybe not the last week of April - I remember sweltering years ago at WDW the last week of April. Made full use of the various misting stations set up at the parks during that time.

I like November's weather the best. You can run the chance of pretty cool weather, but usually only at night and not as bad as January.

My favorite time is early-mid November. It's generally not too hot, not too cold, although we've had rain then. We were there Christmas week this year, and it was absolutely gorgeous. However, I've been during other Christmas weeks where I wore two coats, gloves and a hat. November seems more consistent to me.

Avoid heat and humidity..then Jan and Feb. March-Sept are normally always hot. October is usually warm. November and December are usually usually warm, but can have their cold instances.

January and February and definitely the best for weather.

Crowds- doesn't matter since there's no slow time at Disney world

February was perfect! 70s during the day, 60 at night. We left PA in 3 degrees & a snowstorm. Florida was extremely pleasant!

A light jacket at night was all we needed. It certainly beat 3 & snow!!!

We were there at the beginning of May and enjoyed the weather then.

December/ January are typically cooler & less humid...

I would rate the months as follow...based on my own experiences.

May = perfect
April = near perfect
March = good
October = good
June = hot
August = crazy hot
January = cold
December = cold and crowded

We were there this month. It was seldom what I consider cold and only rained a couple days.

Weather wise our two best trips were in early November and early May.

This is our second trip in January though and I'm looking forward to the cool weather. Hopefully my group wont feel so zapped of energy by 4pm because of the heat.

September is crazy humid and hot. If anyone in your party is especially sensitive to heat then I would avoid July-September.

For me weather-wise my two best trips were early October (still pretty warm, but not hot or humi) and February .. you can get cold days, but that is better than hot and humid.

I went in late August and was worried about the heat and humidity .. but since it rained (err downpoured) for hours every afternoon the heat was NEVER an issue. Heh.

I'd go again in the heat as long as you are prepared for it (lots of water, cooling towels, going early, staying late .. taking breaks in the afternoon)

We think March and November have the best weather.

If you don't want hot and humid, I would avoid mid-April through mid-October.
