We have the option of maybe going on my college sons spring break in march or stick to our plans for june..If you had the choice which month would be better over all?

For me, March is a no brainier. The crowds are lower and the weather is nicer. I think the flower and garden festival will have started by then, which is definitely a bonus.

As long as you avoid the week before and after Easter (WDW's #2 most crowded weeks of the year after Christnas-NYE) March would be lighter crowds and cooler temps.

But March can have multiple days too cool for swimming.
On average, there will be multiple decent days, but I would hate to get that below average week if I was not returning for several years. But I would try March it it's an annual trip.

This year it did but that wasn't normal for F&G. The flowers are in better bloom later in the festival though if your looking for the best epcot can look but there is a point where the weather gets hot and the food starts to not be as great eating it in 95 degree weather with sun blazing.

March! It's cooler, a much needed break during the semester, and spring break crowds won't be bad yet--just colleges and some schools in the south. However, if you choose June, that week won't be awfully crowded, either--not all schools will be out for summer break just yet.

We are doing 6/3-6/11 but that's only because I'm a teacher and I have to wait til a school break. I'd do March if I could.

We did June this year and March last year. March all the way! Same extended hours and extra entertainment, but cooler temps and less rain.

We love March and will probably being going that same week next year- Texas spring break. We went this year and it was crowded- according to crowd calendars most parks were level 9-10 each day but it was manageable and we had an awesome time. There was a heat wave this year so temps were in the 90s but no rain at all.
