How amazing are both of them?!?

Having look at all the info seems we'll either be going the last week of september or first week of december.

Pro's and Cons to both..

Like free DDP in Sept possibly, and hotter weather.

But i'd loooove to see the xmas decorations, but is it too close to xmas here to be spending money abroad? Tricky tricky!

What do you gyus thinks the better time?

It'll only be for 7/10 days. And we'll be onsite.

Go for December the xmas decorations are lovely, and weather will not be so humid, like when we went in Jan its just lovely and sunny .

Also it seems like its too much of a bunfight to get ADR's for me to get the free DDP?

Thank you! same to you.

I cant book for a few months ye, so i guess it depends what the deals are when I book.

You can get the free CS DDP at moderate resorts then there is no messing about with ADRs. Unfortunately you are too late to book free ddp for next year, the offer ended on 1st December.
If you're an AP holder, you may get a good deal on the .com - but with the dollar so strong I doubt it - when I compared prices, it was more than double on the US site..
There is always a chance of a complete washout due to hurricanes in September but we've decided to risk it after seeing my sister's photos of near empty parks the 1st week of September, they dodged 2 hurricanes and had great weather.
I believe the 1st week of December this year was exceptionally cold - I don't go to Orlando to be cold!
The longer days and park hours win it for me every time - we've been late Feb and the days seemed very short.
Early May was fantastic, unfortunately we can't go then for a couple of years, the weather was perfect, crowds moderate ( school groups were the only annoyance).

I love the Unofficial guides, I read the 2007 one from cover to cover - it's amazing. I'm all booked for WDW on September 15 for two weeks.

December, too cold!!!!

We went last year from 8th December to 23rd December and the temp didn't drop below 70+ degrees all the time we were there.

And the crowd levels were great too. we never waited longer than 20 mins for a ride and even managed to get on TSM three times in one day..
