October, November or December? Which is best?...

[Wild about Walt]

My family and I went on our fantasy Disney vacation this past April. We are thinking of doing another quick trip down to 'Mickeys House' but can't decide between October November or December of this year.

Any opinions as to which is the best month to revisit our favorite place on earth?

I think it all depends on what holiday you want to see the parks decorated for. If your family likes Halloween, then my vote would be October. We went the 3rd week of October last year. The weather was beautiful (sunny, daytime temps in the low to mid 80s, night time in the 70s). The crowds were also pretty light.

If you're looking for Christmas decorations, we like going the middle of November (usually the week before Thanksgiving). The crowds are light and MVMCP as well as the Osbourne Light Display is usually up and running (opens Nov 9th for both this year). You might also catch the end of the food and wine festival at Epcot (ends Nov 12th this year). Epcot generally doesn't decorate around WS until after Thanksgiving and the Candlelight Processional also begins after Thanksgiving.

We've been in December before (the first week) and had a great time, but the temperatures were a little chilly for us (low 70s during the day, 50s at night). Christmas is in full swing by then (all of the parks and resorts are decorated).
