crowds in late sept vs. oct or nov?

[dtsaos]

According to the unofficial guide, the crowds are the same during these 3 months, but people on the boards have indicated otherwise. Lots of people seem to think that oct & nov are generally more crowded due to the food and wine thing at Epcot and MNSSHP in oct. So if you could pick any 2 weeks during these 3 months which would you chose & why? Right now we're scheduled to go for 10 nights during the last 2 weeks of sept and since we're driving I'm thinking that the heat might be a little overbarring with a 5, 3 and 8month old! Please help us decide! BTW, DH has no idea I just posted this and will want to kill me for even thinking about switching but I know that and my family don't mix well together for long periods of time!

I have been to WDW in September on a few occasions. This past year we went for 10 nights in November (11/14 - 11/24.) I would say that November was better for a couple of reasons-

Weather-very comfortable temps and we didn't have rain, not one day, in Septmeber temps get HOT and it rains more often

Crowds-we seemed to have the place to ourselves. We didn't wait in lines ever. Even the pool at the hotel (pop) was empty until the weekend prior to thanksgiving.

We have been in all three months. October is busiest IMO, followed by Jersey week in November. Late September is the quietest we have seen of those dates.

when in November is Jersey week? Would definetly want to avoid that.

Thinking about going in Late Oct./Early November- would love to know when Jersey Week is, as I don't have children in school so I can travel at anytime and would like to avoid crowds! THANKS

I love October because it is still warm enough to swim. Crowds exist, but are manageable.

September is still a bit warm for me, but the crowds are lower.

November is a bit cool to swim, but still sunny and the crowds were minimal.

I have heard later Sept, is less crowded. ONE of the reasons I picked this time for the next trip.

Plus oldest DS's birthday is 9/11, and he still feels awkward to this day celebrating on such a tragic day in American history. So we compromised in different factors. End of Sept. watch out "world" here we come!!
