Hi

I am torn between which dates to choose from. We really enjoyed MNSSHP last year and it would be great to go again. I have noticed the flights are cheaper if we went in November. There are a few problems I have with November.

1) Thanks giving. We would be there for the week Thanks giving would be. My dh cant leave before then. Has anyone been? How bad are the crowds? i,.e August bad?

2) Water Parks - Will the weather be good enough to go to Water Parks. We missed this last year and we definately want to go at this time of year.

We would love to see the xmas party, but I am not sure if this would be a good enough decision for me chose Nov over Dec considering we want to spend xmas and new year in WDW in 2009 when I am training.

The main reason I am looking into it is because of the flight prices.

Please help me decide.

Thanks
 
We went last year at the end of november.We did enjoy it the xmas party was excellent.But it does get dark earlier and it is cooler,the water park was empty on the 2 occasions we went due to a cold snap of whether,we were cold when out the water.The xmas lights were a must see but all in all i prefer october.Thanksgiving is busy but not to bad and if you like shopping the black friday sales were great. :cool1:
 
Hi

I think we will be looking at Sept now due to the free dining plan. We can also see MNSSHP at the same time yay. Just trying to get some quotes. So far TCD are the cheapest. I have heard so many problems with TCD that it worries me. Also they do not have back seat TV on back of chairs.
 
Went with TCD last year going again this year with them,we had no problems and as you say they are cheaper.

Hi
We went in november last year over thanks giving and yes it was busy but only over the weekend.Epcot seemed to be the busiest but still it is no where near as busy as going in july or august.The weather was great-in late 70's-80,s and the queuing was virtually nil(again epcot being the exception)We are going on the 23rd november this year staying in disneys pop and carribbean beach resorts as getting married.The merry xmas show atMK is so magical especially with the snow falling on main street.
When ever you go it will be great but we tend to go november as the queues are less .It does get a bit chilly on a night time so take a fleece or a sweatshirt.

good luck
 
I would really like to go at Halloween, am trying to persuade DBF for next year :thumbsup2
