Disney Experts Which Week In Oct?

[Kitts21]

My family and I have been to disney twice now. Our first trip was in Jan. 05 and was great, low crowds, nice weather, ect... Our second trip was the first week of Dec 05 It was great as well. It was a little busier, but still manageable. This year we are thinking about going in October. Either the 20-28 or 27-Nov 4. Which do you think would be a better week as far as crowds go?????

I am hardly an expert, but we were there last year 10/25-11/1 and found the crowds very manageable. Epcot WS was always pretty crowded because of F&W and Fantasyland at MK was always best in the AM. Weather was nice (sunny and mid 70's and not at all humid- but we were there right after a hurricane so maybe that had something to do with it)

Whenever you decide, I am sure the trip will be wonderful- afterall, you are at Disneyworld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you avoid Jersey Week (check the New Jersey teacher's website for the date of their annual conference). We went this year October 29 - November 4th, I think Jersey week was the week before or after. If you want to avoid crowds, go to MGM on Halloween while everyone else is at MK. And we avoided going anywhere near a park that had extra magic hours that day. The strategy worked for us and crowds in all parks were very low.

For the last few years we have visited for 3 weeks in Oct around 7th-28th. Even though the last week (20-28th) is UK national school holiday week, it is the quietest week of the 3. Never been into Nov but you should have no problems with crowds either week. Only dates to avoid are Thanksgiving and columbus day.

We went 10/5-10/15 and the heat and humidity were ridiculous. It started cooling down towards the end of our trip. By that experience alone I would suggest the middle or towards the end of Oct.
