Dates in Sept and Oct. NOT to go to WDW?

[mickeys friend]

Would someone let me know when in Sept and Oct. not to go to WDW?When are the parks usually really busy during those months?When is Jersey week?I know that really no one can say when the parks will not be busy,but I would like some feedback.We were there during Jeanne last year in Sept. even that wouldn't stop me from booking again for the stormy season.Is there anything going on during these two months?Thanks.

"The period between the end of Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas is one of the least crowded and most festive times of the year to visit"
The week after Labor Day until Thanksgiving tends to be the least crowded.

Temps: Sept - High 90 & Low 72, Oct - High 85 & Low 65, Nov - High 79 & Low 58

Hope this helps!...we are going in October & can't wait!!!!

We are going again 9/8-9/11 (same weekend as last year). It was absolutely fantastic time (in between hurricanes!) with NO crowds at all. However, that weekend is the Christian festival (and appears like it's going to be again this year) so on Friday and Sat nights the MK closes early and if you want to stay you have to pay extra admission.

I read somewhere (maybe the laughingplace newsletter) that Tom Joyner is inviting all of his listeners to come to WDW on Labor Day for the "world's largest family reunion." I have no idea how many people will be involved, but that might contribute to some crowds.

The Tom Joyner reunion and Festival of Joy(?) are the only 2 events in September, and they are at the beginning of the month and only affect the weekends.

The rest of the month is very light crowd-wise.

Jersey Week is early November.

The closer you get to columbus day, the busier it is - but, this is also the beginning of food and wine, which is an event not to miss. if you are just looking to avoid crowds, the second full week of sept. is the best
