November, January or April

[Terk-1]

Out of these 3 months, which is the best time to go & why?

End of November (week after Thanksgiving) for holiday decorations & Candlelight Processional

Mid/Late January for very low crowds

Late April for Flower & Garden Show

I think you just answered your own question...you have listed the advantages to each time.

Now you just have to decide which of those advantages is most important to you!

giving this a little bump.

I agree... it depends on what you want.

Personally, I would skip January. The crowds are low, but it's not a big enough advantage over November (as long as we're not talking about Thanksgiving time) to make up for missing the holiday season stuff.

Late April is nice if you like swimming and water parks. Actually, though, I would pick May over late April, to avoid the grad night kids. We had some pretty annoying experiences with big mobs of them in the parks, cutting lines, etc. (Oh, our one friend is up there in front of you, so the other 49 of us are going to join him.)

We're planning on late April /early May. What is this Grad night thing.? I definately will not be happy to have 49 grads cut in front of us. Anyone else had problems with this????

We decided on January 27th to Feb 3rd. Mostly for the low crowds and to warm up a bit! Living in the mid west it can get mighty cold at those times. We don't mind pulling our kids out of school either. But then the system here is awesome and not to strict as long as work is done before or ready to be handed in within the 2nd day back.

I voted the end of November. I think everyone should get to see the world decorated for Christmas at least once!
