Please help me decide

Hello everyone!

Can I ask for some opinions please? Between these 2 options which one do you think is better?

1. End of July 5d/4n stay at HNY - summer, long park hours, huge crowd
2. 2nd week of October 5d/4n stay at DLH - halloween season, weather ?slightly cold/wet, park not too busy (hopefully)

The reason is because the price are the almost thr same but obviously its different seasons. Which one should I go for? I have 3 kids (8, 5 and 8 months old).

Thank you in advance!

I would go for Halloween!
The weather doesn't necessarily have to be colder.
Last year I literally walked around in a t-shirt on the day of Halloween because it was so hot outside.

It's an amazingly themed season, lots to do and to see.
The Summer doesn't really provide with anything too special.
If the prices are nearly the same, pick Halloween!

2nd week of October, no question .
Halloween season is loads of fun, and its generally speaking not cold then (although it does tend to get colder towards the end of October).

Definitely Halloween, great theming without crazy crowds

Looks like I'm going again in October, definitely more going on around the park during Halloween than in the Summer season

I hate crowds so definitely October for me. I went on October 5th yesterday and it was great - weather ok, minimal crowds. I actually prefer slightly shorter park hours too as I don't have to stay up so late to watch Dreams.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Looks like we will be going back in October then.

May I ask regarding meal plans? I am planning to do Auberge, Buffalo Bill, Invention dinner and the new Ratatouille restaurant. Is it worth adding premium meal voucher with the booking or just add Auberge & Buffalo Bill as add on with the package and pay for Invention and the other one when we are there?

Also for Buffalo Bill do you get cat 1 or cat 2 seating with premium meal voucher? Does the seating makes any difference in terms of the distance with the show? Would you recommend taking an 18 months baby to the show?
