Help me pick when to go

[dijid]

We've always been able to go during off -peak times (we love the first week in May!) and that sadly has come to an end. We have been going back and forth and round and round trying to pick when to go next. I'd really love some input on this one. My kiddos are 6, 4 and 1. Here are our choices:

1) Spring Break 2006 (last week of March). Youngest DD will be under 3 (free) but still need naps, diaper bag, etc. Cooler weather, worse crowds?
2) First week in June 2006. Youngest DD just under 3 - most likely potty trained. Crowds better than Spring Break? A little less expensive.

3) Spring Break 2007 - Crowded. Oldest 2 will be 7 1/2 and 5 1/2 and probably big enough to ride most everything. Youngest DD not free, but won't always need naps, will be potty trained and probably tall enough for Splash Mtn. (She's really tall for her age)
4) First week in June 2007. Ditto for above but potentially less expensive. Youngest DD will be close to 4 and better able to remember the trip in case this is our last to WDW for a long time.

*sigh* I wish we could plan to go every year in the off season, but that isn't going to happen and financially we really only can go either 2006 or 2007. Thanks for your help.

I like option #2, out of all of your options.

Had you considered January 2006 or 2007?
November 2006?

Attendance is low and the weather is usually beautiful. You could schedule it on M.L. King's birthday or Veteran's Day to have one less day missed by your 7yo. Only an added thought.

These dates also give you more time to save (then going in Spring) and less time to wait (going in 2007).
