Week after Labor Day or Week after Thanksgiving?

[sharonabe]

The past 2 years we have gone the week of Labor day. We love not have the high crowd levels. With this being the last your to have your youngest free I would go in September. Get one more year of savings then the next time you visit go in Nov/Dec.

THIS!! I would definitely get that last "free" trip in with your little one, then do the Christmas trip next year.

We had excellent crowds and nice weather (other than a little rain) right after this most recent Thanksgiving. I would go again that week in a heartbeat. September would be WAY too hot and humid for me.

I have been thinking of going Thanksgiving week. But you said right after Thanksgiving. What day did you arrive?

We arrived the Monday following Thanksgiving. Crowds were great until Saturday. My favorite week to go.

I would go the week after Thanksgiving. The Christmas decorations make everything so beautiful! I have gone Labor day week several times . My only complaint is it is hot hot. Crowds were average or a little over.

This year, I felt the week after T-giving had crowds much lower than average, with the exception of the second Sat after Thanksgiving - but the Suess Christmas things started that day. (Edited to add - I forgot I was on the Disney instead of Universal boards for a bit!)

Though we drove down on T-giving day (A great time to drive down! We've done the drive that day twice now), we didn't do the parks right away. We visited relatives on T-giving. We went to Kennedy Space Center on Friday and it wasn't nearly as bad as we expected. Then we did the pool and Disney Springs on Saturday since we figured whatever we did would be mobbed.

UPDATE! We're considering the end of October, now, too. LOL. Just. Can't. Decide.

I would go the week after Thanksgiving. Crowd levels aren't that bad yet, at that point in time.

For me personally, the first half of September is still really hot in Orlando.
