Hi, glad you are feeling better

I've never been that time of year, but from reports I've read Easter is VERY busy

Have you thought about September/October time? Weather is nice and crowds are quite low

i agree...
my daughter and i went mid-september this year for the first time and we loved it....it was still hot, but not as unbearable as in the summer...
and the parks were practically empty....it was GREAT!!!...

We love Feb for weather and low-ish crowds - but do avoid Presidents Weekend and the following week (3rd weekend in Feb) !

Personally I would avoid February and March - last year we were there 13th-27th March and the weather was very unpredictable, often it was fairly cool most mornings and there were a few days where it rained all day.

I am sure many people who have been at that time of the year may have had glorious weather but it would certainly put me off.

For an ideal combination of nice weather (not too hot) and fairly low crowds I would suggest late April through early May and October through early November...this way you would miss Easter when it can be very busy.
If we weren't restricted to summer holidays the above months would definitely be our choice.

I don;t know as I've never been in feb / March / April but I wanted to say I am glad you are feeling better

Out of those I would go at the begining fo Feb, avoiding presiednets day, it will be nice and quiet and low season at Disney. Also cheapest time for flights.

and also remember to avoid mid/late March as its Spring Break in the US which can be very, very busy.

8 April 2007 is Easter, so avoid that time too!

Like Johnny Sharp, I have been, got wet, then put off my that time, but this was April/May time, so I would not go back then.

Oddly enough, February was great weather wise. A bit cool in the morning on a few days, some cool evenings. But very dry and often VERY hot. I am going early March this year, but would try September maybe next time as it sounds a good time to go.

I think the weather in the early part of the year is getting more unpredictable, we went to Discovery Cove on our March holiday and the day was ruined by the weather, the water was freezing...at the theme parks people were buying fleeces and jumpers in the mornings because the temperatures were struggling to reach 60.

We may have just been unlucky, havings said that from this August onwards we are restricted to the summer holidays, so the only thing we have to worry about is the very hot weather.

Weather in Florida is very unpredictable. There are pluses and minuses. December/January is the most dicey...could be 80 (sorry that fareinheit) or 45 (probably around your 5). February is a slight improvement and I feel by the middle of April it starts to get downright hot. But on the other hand, starting February 3rd, is the high season, and with the fairer weather comes crowds. Remember cooler weather is better for running around, but so many attractions include water you're really restricted if its cold. If you can get up really early and don't mind running to the parks an hour before opening, there's no problem going when it is busy. I go every easter and it is a madhouse, but I always go on the rides I want. I would say avoid easter but go closer to April even late March is usually ok. I highly recommend an american book called the unofficial guide to disney. Its a bit mad, but the guy is obsessed with saving time and has detailed plans to beat the crowds in the park.
