Help me Decide! What would you do???

I need some advice! I am not a big lover of Halloween so going to WDW was the perfect solution. For 16 years we have gone for the F&W and MNSSHP and love it. It's only DH and myself so taking kids out of school is not an issue (they are all grown and on their own). We always left the Friday before the week that Halloween fell on and came home 10-11 days later. So, now I have to book for next year's and have a dilemma. Here are my choices:

1. Stay with what we always did and book for 10/25 through 11/4. We can do MNSSHP and the F&W.

2. Book from 11/1 (I would be home for Halloween) but still be able to do MNSSHP, F&W BUT if I figured this out right, the Mickey's Jingle parade, Osborne lights and MVMCP would start on 11/8. We would stay until 11/11 and see all.

3. Final choice, leave on 10/31(I would not be home for Halloween and it is a Thursday) and come home on 11/10.

I figured out that this year the Xmas special events started on 11/9 (a Friday) so next year would be 11/8. We stay at BC (and love it) and I know that if I change my mind, we probably would not be able change. I would have to book next week if I want the 10/25 dates and just a couple of days later for the others.

Advice???

I think it's still a roll of the dice to assume it will start on 11-8. That date's getting so late in November that you're probably right, but I don't know if I'd be willing to bet an entire trip on it at this point.

The good news is that you can change whatever anyway you do since it's so far out.

DW and DD are the Halloween people, though I admittedly love F&W so that's what we did this year. I'm a Christmas at WDW guy and this is the second year in a row that I've missed it, but it ain't over yet. LOL

I'll be anxiously watching this thread. I'd love to pull this off too but seeing how I can usually only afford to take about 7 days at a time, I just haven't been able to figure out a way to pull it off... yet.
