go June 5th? or JUne 13th?

I originally booked June 13th to be on the Dis leg of our trip... because I was able to get a chef's tanble seating for the week of the 13th... turns out we won't be doing that as fiance could care less. Now I look at crowd levels and think - I should have stayed wioth my plans to be there in early june... problem is if we show up now in early june instead the PS window has been open for days and we will not be able to get illuminations cruises, or CRT, and various other things... chef mickey's.. crystal palace ...will be no trouble getting those because those aren't like specialty cruises etc...

what would you do? go earlier and avoid some of the crowd? or stay with a 13th of june arrival and have full availability of PS options (PS window does not open until the 15th of March)

I've been throughout all weeks in June, and I don't think there would be too much of a difference in crowd level between the 5th & 13th. It usually starts picking up dramatically in the end of June...towards the 4th of July.

I say stick with your original dates and don't worry about it too much. You'll be fine!

I would go the earliest in June I could and avoid the crowds. Honestly the cruises and CRT are hard to get even at the 90 day mark. You could just call regularly to see if there are any cancelations.

Our family is going June 11th to the 17th. It will be DD's 16th B-day on the 13th!!!

So is June unbearably crowded, or is it manageable with EMH and FP? We are contemplating a June trip.

June really isn't so bad. We've been early to mid-June and did everything we wanted without much problem. Stay onsite to make better use of your time, and work PS into your daily itinerary (try to keep PS's within the park you're already attending.) Actually, it usually rains a lot in June, so bring some ponchos and take advantage of the rain clear-out! Enjoy!

We have gone in June starting the 8th or so .... then next time I think we started on the 11th

I noticed when we went starting the 4th crowds were picking up a bit by the time we left. But now tht I think of it the time we went the 11th wasn't so bad either...

The entire east coast gets out of school between the 15th and the 28th of June.

I guess I started thinking about it again because I went out and got the unofficial guide and it got me thinking about crowd levels. THough I am not incredibly impressed with the guide - I learned a lot of what I am reading by being on these boards. I would still recommend it though... makes you think

No not unbearably crowded... Christmas is unbearably crowded...June is manageable with a good plan.

Thanks for bringing that up -
