Late March or Late September?

[SWofDisorder]

I kinda remember being in Epcot on morning and it being so dang hot out that we had a guinness at Rose and Crown by 11am. We were melting.

I can go to WDW either late September this year or late March next year. Which would be best for visiting WDW and the keys as far as heat?

September is hotter than end of March, but crowds are heavier in March. Also depends on when Easter falls. I would personally deal with the weather over the crowds.

I would recommend late September for sure! Resort rates tend to be less expensive and the crowds are significantly less than in March. I avoid March & April due to the Spring Break crowds.

I went at the end of September last year, thinking it would be starting to cool off a little. Boy was I wrong!! It was still hot and humid. But I will take hot and humid over higher crowd levels any day.

I've never been in March, but if the weather is anything like it is in May, its beautiful! End of September though has the Halloween parties going on

Went in March 2015...never again....WAAAAYYYY to crowded, especially on the weekend.

September is like walking on the face of the sun, and I'm from Louisiana where it's hot and humid most of the year! I did September once for cheap resorts and free dining... never again for me, but if humid/hot doesn't bother you, it is lower crowds... I'd rather a good touring plan and pick a time in March away from Easter week

We realized that we can go at anytime after mid March so maybe we can find something in late April for next year. I just can't do heat and humidity or high crowds so we will work our schedule a bit to find a better time.

I was there late September, 2016, and I say it was hotter then than during the summer. My trips in March have been hot too, but nothing has compared to last September for me. Crowds are less in September unless you go to EPCOT for Food and Wine on a weekend.

Forget mid-March through mid-April of next year. Easter falls on April 1, so crowds will be absurd - Christmas level crowds without the decorations. If you can go really late in April, you should have a great trip next year. Great weather, and moderate crowd levels.

You don't like the heat, skip September. Every day will be surface of the sun hot. We like the heat, but it isn't for everyone.

Funny, we go both. We just got back and going again in September. Late march the weather is BEAUTIFUL but crowds were high. September the weather is hot, humid and can be rainy. September is cheaper too ( cash or DVC). Just avoid Epcot during the weekends.

We also did both and I would not go back in March.

September, even with hot weather and hurricane season, would be our choice : best crowds, F&W Festival and MNSSHP
