September and or May crowds?

[Alice28]

I've gotten side-tracked from my France trip, as we are going to WDW in a few weeks! But, I'm still going in 2008, and I think my mom and I have narrowed it down to going in September. Or maybe May.

Is this a good month to visit Paris, and Disneyland Paris? From what I read, summer (esp August), wasn't so great. We have it narrowed down to either May or September. More likely Sept., but we are open to May. I just know I already have a trip planned for that June, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do 2 major trips within such a short time period.

Thanks for any info!

Weather wise, it probably will be pretty much the same. The only difference is that the evenings will be lighter for longer in May.

As you've got a trip already planned for that June, I would plump for September.

We went later September 2005. The weather was great and the crowds were non-existent.

We also went last Sept and the weather was fantastic. Mid week crowds low - weekend nightmare (prob because the weather was so good!!) so we did Paris and the Studios at the weekend - worked out great!

Great, thank you! We will start planning more over the next few months. Cannot wait! So basically, if we go in Sept and avoid Saturday, we will be golden.

september was lovely when we went, perfect weather and walk on with everything (except Dumbo and Peterpan, always seem to have queues for over half an hour).

We went in August 2002 and were dreading the crowds, particularly as we were there over the weekend. However, it was amazingly quiet! There was often no queue for the Rockin' Roller Coaster and we went on 4 times in a row without queueing. Pirates of the Carribean also barely had a queue so we rode that several times in a row. Nothing seemed overly busy. We did have a few showers, so I don't know if that maybe put folk off going that weekend, but Im sure that most folk who go there are holiday makers so not really sure exactly what the explaination was.

We're going mid July this year and are hoping for nice weather without the park being tooooo busy.
