I couldn't agree with you more! October is a great time to visit WDW for many reasons.
My DD15 and I are taking our first mother/daughter trip in October. We're going to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on Thursday, Oct. 4 and than participating in the 10K Race for the Taste (RFTT) on Sunday, Oct 7. It's the first time we've been to either of these events and we're really looking forward to spending the time there together.

Yippee!
