Sept, Oct, Nov?? Help me decide!

[pkwoo84]

I am eagerly awaiting the annoucement of Free Dining for Disney Visa Holders. I am hoping with the economy they will open up dates for Free Dining in Oct and Nov as well as the Sept dates this year. If they don't we will def book for Sept but my question is...if they do offer oct and nov should I go sometime then?

Here are my top concerns:

Weather - Will Oct be cooler than Sept but will Nov get too chilly? Which month is the least rainy?

Bugs - traveling with 3 girls who won't like the bugs, even if they are "love" bugs

Crowds - I think crowds are generally good throughout fall but am concerned if we go during Epcot Food & Wine we will have more crowds than in Sept. I am also somewhat concerned of crowds with Free Dining. I know it is a great time for larger families. It will save us over $900 to go during Free Dining!

Like I said we will go during free dining whenever those dates are but if Oct is offered I am leaning towards that right now except for concern about crowds. I kind of like the idea of Nov though because my oldest will turn 7 on the 14th and we want to make this trip a surprise anyway. I like Sept becasue it is sooner than Oct/Nov but don't want everyone miserable beacause of the heat. UGH! Help me make a decision please!

FYI - my girls will be 6, 4 and 2 when we travel and we will be staying at Pop.

November has fantastic weather, low crowds, except for Thanksgiving weekend, and little rain.
September on the other had is VERY hot, humid, bugs, and rained every single day we were there!

Having been to WDW all 3 months you are considering, I'd do November. The weather is cooler (but not cold), you are out of hurricane season, and the crowds are not bad as long as you don't go during Thanksgiving or Jersey week. We are going in September this year to minimize the days my daughter has to miss school. Whatever you decide, have a great trip!

Hmm...when is Jersey week? Any idea?

Jersey Week is the first week in November. November 2nd (the first monday in November) until that Friday the 7th. Jersey kids have off the 6th and 7th that Thursday and Friday, so if you can I would avoid that week.
