When Would You Go?

[Palm_Tree]

My DW and I will are planning on taking our kids (DD 7, DD 5) to WDW next year. We are looking at two possible weeks when our kids are off school next year here in Montreal. (1) February 24 - March 3 (2) April 21 - 29. We plan on staying on site, hopefully at the POLY.
From what I have read and researched on-line, it looks like both weeks tend to be on the relatively "quieter" side in terms of attendance (?). We are leaning quite strongly to heading in late April as we the weather will most likely be warmer in the afternoon and evenings. As we plan to try to head back to the resort each day around noon to relax and swim by the pool (before heading back out to the parks later on), we just figured that the weather in late April would likely be more condusive for that. I also know first hand that nights in that part of Florida can potentially be a bit on the cool side in late February which did not seem as appealing as late April. We also plan to check out a water park or two and just assumed that April would most likely be better.

Having said all that, we still would love to hear the opinions or experiences of others who may have been at one, or both of these times of year.

I would go in late April, especially since you are more concerned with swimming than crowd levels. It will be more crowded, but the weather will be better. Late April and early May are my favorite times to go. BTW the Poly is an excellant choice, we love it there.

Late April for sure! The weather that time of year is great!! And since Easter is so early next year the late April crowds probably won't be all that bad.

I vote April as well, for sure the weather will be the difference. Both our trips in April have been great weather!

Plus no chance to get bad travel weather eh?

Late April! I've been in February and it's too cold to swim! At least for me!

Well, given the numerous responses - it looks like we will be going next April!
Thanks to erveryone for their feedback. This forum is simply amazing.

ANTSS2001 - I look forward to hearing more about your vacation. I hope you're having a great time.
