When is the best time to go to the Mouse House?

[TigerCheer2009]

We've went in December 05 and loved it! Very few long lines (Soarin', Stitch and BTMRR) and somewhat cool temps are what we like.

Based on that info (not too extremely hot temps and short lines, with no more than a 30 minute wait), what month(s) would be best?

Thanks!

Early November is probably a good compromise. It's not as cool as it is in December, and the crowds are just as thin. October used to be great, but too many people found out, and now it is pretty crowded. January is good too, with regard to crowds, but it is even colder than December.

. October used to be great, but too many people found out, and now it is pretty crowded.

Part of the trouble with October is that the British authoraties have stopped parents taking children out of school for holidays, so families are now having to go during school breaks-we have three mid-term breaks, last 10 days of October, 2nd-3rd week in February and last 10 days in May so you will find the parks fuller than normal then, because all the Brits are over there! It wouldn't surprise me to find Disney also know this and start to bump prices up in those weeks.

2nd-3rd week in February

February only has three weeks next year. Could you please clarify this for 2007? Is it February 10 through 25 or February 17 through March 4, next year?

Its usually around the 10th-25th-different areas have slightly different dates so our shopping malls aren't all full of teenagers "hanging out" at the same time

My wife asks: Doesn't the UK have summer vacation the same time as we do?

Don't know-whens yours? Ours are around July 20th to beginning of Sept (apart from Scotland which is a couple of weeks earlier-No wonder you guys think we're weird!) We also have 2 weeks at Christmas usually from around 20th December and 2 weeks at easter, from around the week before Good Friday. So the British travel companies double their prices for those periods-God Bless 'em

Ours is typically the last week in June to the second-to-last or last week in August -- sounds like the US is on the same scheduled with Scotland.
