Crowds and Rates Early June

[cadeesmom]

My husband and I are both teachers and this year our Spring Break falls the week after Easter. *yuck* Anyway, we get out of school the last week of May and were thinking about the first week of June. Has anyone been there that time of year. What is the crowds and heat level like? We have only been in April, but I just don't want to try to fight the crowds. Would it be better to hope for FD in September?

June has been muggy and quite warm the times I visited during that month. Also, I think it just started this year, Disney has premiums on some TS restaurants starting the end of May through early July. They charge extra during certain peak seasons but this is one of them. I was there ending May 22 and I believe the premiums started Memorial Day weekend.

I was there for the very last week of Sept last year during free dining. The parks were somewhat more crowded than I thought they would be and more crowded than 2006. My children were there both years. WDW actually had signs posted some days in the MK that there was no TS available. WDW also offered a trade for a TS for a CS and 2 snacks (or something like that). We will be there the end of Sept and beginning of Oct. The FD is still out there since the timeframe was a little longer for the FD bounceback than the general public offer in the spring.

It's a toss up!! I think maybe less crowed in Sept but probably more chance of the dreaded hurricane. June TS costs may be higher as well as rooms. WE did get a better AP rate for Sept/Oct than our May reservation and June was even more from what I recall.
