UUUGH! Yes I am having such a hard time deciding which month to go! 
I know there are pros to both.. and they both are know for low crowds.. well, actually December would be better.. but here is the thing.. so I need your help in helping me decide..
It will be me (38) Dh (37), son (7) and son (3.5).. the BIGGEST thing is that I will have to be pulling my son (he will be 7 and in second grade at the time) out of school.
NOW, we have been to Disney the 2nd week of December and LOVED it!! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! no crowds, nice weather and it was decorated for Christmas.. plus.. its cheaper!
But if we did December I would have to pull him out for a full week..
In November, I could coordinate it around the time he would have 2 days off for teacher conferences so he would only miss around 3 days.. I have never been in November.. I know we would miss Halloween, but is it decorated for fall? I guess I just fell in love with it at Christmas time.. Plus I would only have to pull him out for 3-4 days..
the cost difference wouldn't be too much... Dec is a value time.. so if we went in December we would save about $500 tops.
I guess I feel guilty about pulling him out of school.. and I know its only 2nd grade, but I also don't want to have that "its only second grade" attitude.. oh plus, he goes to a private school and the handbook says no makeups for unexcused absences..
UGH!! what should I do??
thank you in advance!
