Can't decide which dates to go

[Heatherann006]

I'm in the early stages of planning our trip. I am looking at going August 22-29, November 16-23 or March 24-31 2017. Which dates would be better to go? Do you think the last week of March would be manageable with Easter being in April next year? Thanks

November. I've been the week before Thanksgiving and it is, by far, my favorite week in Disney!

Next year, we are going with that last week in August.

We seem to go back and forth between last week of April and last week of August. Other than the heat in August, the crowds are really manageable in that last week. We always enjoy the later summer hours too.

I would also go in November

November...especially if you enjoy the Christmas decorations/atmosphere.

Easter/spring break crowds will be tough but they do easter stuff which is also fun.

We just did the Easter Egg Hunt and it was super fun.

After talking to DH August is most likely out. Now it's between November (will be there half of Thanksgiving week) or Last week of March. Sounds like Thanksgiving time would be better then spring break. Thanks for the advice.

We have loved our Fall trips! We're trying early April this year but only because it works out for dh's work schedule.

If the pools are really important to you - I'd actually suggest March. The other thing that's really nice in spring is the Flowers at Epcot - it's the most beautiful time of the year!

I would love to go in November because I've never been during the Christmas holiday season, but if part of my week included Thanksgiving break I wouldn't, too crowded for me.
I'd go in March if it wasn't a Spring Break week for US school districts.

I love going in the fall and seeing the Christmas decorations. It's one of my favorite times there, but Easter may be nice also. The crowds in March would be what sway the decision for me.

We've been twice in September and once in November. November was fun as we got to attend the Christmas party but we found that it was way more crowded than September. September was hot and it rained everyday for us but we went the first week in November and couldn't use the pool because it was so cold. We had to buy blankets and wore our coats for the first 4 days we were there.

first choice Nov. Xmas, lower crowds for most part, cooler. The march. Maybe a spring break baseball game.

August- too hot... November has perfect weather, and Mickey's Christmas party, gorgeous decorations, go see the life size gingerbread house at GF. March could have spring break crowds.. ok it will... so go for November!

 

[Dis703]

I would definitely choose November.

 

[mm1971]

We prefer November. I would rank them November, March, August. We have gone the last 3 years late August. It's hot, humid and still pretty crowded if it's like the last couple of years. November you will have the holiday decorations up and crowds should be pretty manageable. March could have spring break visitors as the weeks vary around the country, but you should miss the Easter crowds. Whatever you choose, being in Disney is still better than being at home!

So when in November do the Christmas decorations usually start?

 

[MochaDrinker]

We're doing November 2017, overlapping with your trip. It seemed like a good time to go.

 

[disny_luvr]

November is one of my favorite times to go. I'm a teacher and have conferences in November making that month a not so great time of year for me to travel, but if I could, I'd go that time of year every trip.

I'd think the end of August has pretty low crowds given that most kids have just returned or will soon be returning to school.

Hands down, November.
