When to go to Disney??

[bamamom]

We went to Disney in October and it was wonderful as far as crowds etc...However we will not be able to go back in Oct because they have taken fall break from our school schedule and now that my son will have to start taking exams if he misses any days then we can't pull him from school..... So we are now looking at other dates. Those of you that have been at all the different times I would like your advice. We are looking at either Thanksgiving (which would have to be a shorter trip 4 nites) or Christmas (arriving the day after Christmas and staying to day after New Years Day) Spring Break (the last week in March usually) or summer the last week of June or the middle to end of July. I know June and July are hot But of these dates how are the crowds and the weather in Nov and Dec. I am afraid that October has spoiled us but not enough to not go back some other time of year . Thanks for the advice!!

I personally would choose Thanksgiving for the crowds, temps and price. My boss goes this time every year. I also like first week of Dec, last week of April,first week of May wasn't bad...but I know schedules make it tough! Summer is too hot, crowded and expensive!!

All the times you can go have higher crowd levels. What I would do next is then go by temps and price. One offsets the other as you don't mind long lines if it is not scorching hot. I think that dec-26th to New years have the highest rates of the year (not sure check on line) and very crowded, even though it's cooler the other 2 variables would not make it worth it. It may also be pretty booked up by now as I had a hard time getting my reservations for mid Dec.

I would look into Thanksgiving, see the prices and availibility and compare it to the last week of March (spring break) then my last choice would be June.

The weather in March is also very nice...usually low humidity and not hot hot hot.

After deciding I would reserve ASAP, as these dates fill up fast and you want to get your choice.

Learn it, love it, use it!

If I had to chose between Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Spring Break, and Summer; I think I'd pick Thanksgiving. Looks to be the lesser of the evils there, and not so hot.
