Crowds - October vs Late February

[alexb]

We are planning our next trip and were originally going to shoot for the last week of February 2010 but now I just started thinking about October 2009, just to stir things up. We are not necessarily interested in MNSSHP (I think I got the acronym right). So one of the big questions we have are crowd levels between the 2 months. Can anyone provide some insight, are they about the same? Is one less crowded than the other? TIA.

A local told me that by far, the best time to go to WDW is the first 2 weeks of November, during the week days. Said absolutely no one goes then. Said the weather hasn't turned too cool yet and there isn't more than a 5 minute waite for any ride.

i went in Oct and early Feb, and way preferred the Oct for the weather, and for the crowd levels.

My sister and I went the second week of November 2008. I remember the two of us walking and talking about how deserted it seemed at Epcot in World Showcase.

Avoid Columbus Day weekend...big crowds,
