Before someone jumps in and makes a joke, I would like to tell you nicely that it is mosquito. It is the state bird down here in FL.

They will still be in season then, but I have never had a problem at WDW. They do tons of spraying to keep the population down on property. That does not mean that there are none though. If they like you in particular, I would bring some spray.

Just bring the spray.

In all my visits to WDW (many many) most of them being in Sept, I can tell you I have never had a mosquio bite there.

Mosquitos me but I guess they do an excellent job of spraying at WDW because I have yet to get bitten.

Now the rest of the world is a different story!

Went the last week of Sept. last year, had no trouble with mosquitos. We did not use bug spray once.

We were there the last week of Sept. last year and never noticed a problem. with any bugs.

Except in AK, under the Tree of Life we did notice a problem there

In early Oct of last year we were all attacked by mosquitos standing in front of Pecos Bills, waiting for the MNSSHP parade- so it doesn't happen often in WDW, but it certainly does happen! Since we lost my Br-in-law 2 summers ago to West Nile Virus, we take protecting ourselves and our families from mosquito bites very seriously (and we, too, live in 'mosquito territory' here in NJ) - even when not fatal, WNV can cause life-long disabilities. There have been several deaths and disabilities from WNV in FL over the last few years (actually, in almost every state, so protect yourself and your family at home, too! )
Off! Deep Woods puts out individually wrapped towelettes (like the little Wipies for cleaning your hands) which are super easy to carry in your bag or pocket - better safe than sorry!
