Wolud you rather go to WDW May 1-8 or October 8-15. Having alot of trouble deciding! We are staying at Poly and bringing our children, DS will be almost 2 in May and DD will be 6. I don't know if crowds are much different or not. DD school has fall break in Oct and DS will be 6 months older(I don't know if thats good or bad). I hate to wait to go but it might be a better trip and I will have more planning time. So indecisive!! Thanks, Nichole
 
October has Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which will probably be a big hit with your kids.
 
I would choose October, only because it won't be as hot, and since most schools are in, crowds should be down, plus you will have more time to plan.....also MNSSHP is in October and your kids would probably enjoy that!
 
Well, I can only tell you what I know. I stayed at the Poly the second week of May 1988 (honeymoon) The crowds weren't bad at all. I stayed at CBR the first week of May 2002 again, I was happy with the crowds. Oct. is probably a good time to go, my only thoughts are it might be a littled crowded from Mickey's not so scary..... I'm going back the first week of May this year to WL, I like the weather it's not too hot and the crowds are not terrible.

Have a magical day,
Anna
