Trying to get the best deal...Feb or Apr or May

[Kallie724]

Ahhhh!! We've always been to Disney the beginning of June and my parents have planned the trip. Now it's my turn for my family to plan our own trip My husband and I want to take our 4 year old daughter to Disney. This will be her second trip, but my husband's first trip since he was 6. I know the best time to go is in Sept./Oct. barring no hurricanes but that's just not possible. Doing it this Sept/Oct would be too soon to try to save and next Sept/Oct. she will be in school. So our only options are pretty much the first half of 2013. When we went in June of 2011 we had the free dining plan and it worked out great but June is always hot and crowded. So I'm looking for a time that won't be too hot or crowded but that could possibly have a free dining plan. I know I'm wanting what everyone wants right But anyway what do you think would be the best time to go and all of this to work? Thanks for the help and I'm sure I'll be on here a lot because I really want to go but my husband thinks it'll be too expensive. I want to show him that we can go to Disney on a budget

According to Mousesavers Disney had free dining this past Feb (released in August). We went this past April (14-24th) and the weather was perfect, not super crowded and we got 20% off our room at POR - that discount was released in Nov. and covered half of April, all of May.

For lower crowds and cooler temps I would go in Feb. In April you have a chance of picking a week with high Spring Break crowds . May is not bad but I would avoid the holiday weekends (Mother's Day and Memorial day).
