Water Park advice... In October???

[Jerdoctor]

I know my kids wanna do Quest and the All Star Sports stuff, so we were wondering about getting the "all parks" hopper.

Is it okay weather for the water parks in October???? Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

We always go the last week of October and most trips have done a water park. Sometimes you have to be flexible on the day, but for the most part we've found October to be warmer rather than cooler...almost always in the 80s.

It really depends were your from, and how cold of water you can stand to swim in. We have friends who come and visit us in November from Indiana. At that time of year it's common to have a cold front bring the temps. down to about 50 degrees, and be back up in the 80's a few days later. They always swim in the pool, and the gulf, sometimes my kids will join them, but it's too cold for me. October is nicer, cooler at night, comfortable during the day, some days in october I may swim.

I've done the water parks in December, if you can stand to swim at 80 degrees or so you'd be just fine.

If you are at WDW for more than a few days DO watch the weather and pick a warmer day. It can be way too cold or really enjoyable, depending on the particular day. We have been miserable, kids turning blue. We have also had fun and nice days in October. Most of October (all?) your only choice is Typhoon Lagoon, since Blizzard Beach is closed. The shark pool is pretty cold, no matter how good the weather is. The ice water that drips on you in the cave on the river can be pretty uncomfortable, too.
