WORST time to go??

I think it all depends on your expectations, what and how much you are looking to do each day, and your tolerance levels for heat and crowds/lines. Some people and handle and work around crowds, accepting that you will not see or do everything, ride your most popular attraction 5x in day, and can manage the cold, rain or heat/humidity. So depending on those, it is possible for someone to plans for and experience their own great WDW vacation for any day of the year. Really comes do to your expectations and what you are willing to accept given conditions on any given day. Personally lower crowds and lower costs (including airflights) have been the deciding factors, but even then you still have to have fair and reasonable expectations when you arrive and adapt throughout your visit and daily as to the conditions that may not meet your plans or expectations.

Coming from WNY, you would think the temps during a January cold snap wouldn't feel that bad, but I am always cold at night when the temps drop into the 50's or even lower. Not sure if it is the humidity in the air or something else, but I just can't get the chill out of my system even with a sweatshirt and jeans on.

Was at WDW from 1/1 to 1/6 and 4 of the days the temps were in the low to mid 60's. I've been at WDW in August, and while I know the heat and humidity can be tough, I think I prefer it to cool days and COLD nights. IMO...it just doesn't feel like vacation when I have to tour the parks all bundled up.

Thanks everyone! My little ones are young enough to take a trip in 2017 while school is in session, but after that we will have to plan with the masses. I'm just toying with what holiday time would be most manageable with regards to crowds. I'm thinking Fall break - October time? I would love to take them for a Christmas trip, I just don't know how well we would do with the crowds.
