We always go in either January or February. We did go this past year in September also and loved it. It seems that most any time is cwowded anymore.

Yes, the off season is not what it used to be...
How have been your experiences in February? Just curious. My mom and I are going next week (6-11). The only times I've been to WDW before have been in June, July, and August. Really hoping it isn't too bad next week. We specifically made sure to get in (and out) before Valentine's Day to avoid any of the crowd related to that.We always go in either January or February.

My wife and I will be going after Labor Day so it should be great crowd wise. The only problem we should have is the Villains party on the 13th.Right after Labor Day is a good week crowd wise
Yeh,I agree.But the thing is,I don't wait in lines.Plus I have loads of food/drink time. Now that you mention it.What are all these people standing in queues for.As one person once said.We've got the FP,they must have the SP ( slow )I know you go in July, but if you ever have the opportunity to go in early Sept. or early Dec., please give it a try. It is even more magical without lines or crowds. Imagine not waiting in lines and how much more time you would have to indulge in your favorite food and drink.
February (away from the holiday) was awesome. Low crowds, weather was 60-80 (all over that week!), We got one or 2 days warm enough for the pool, but you can't expect the pool, because the weather can be all over the place. Less hours, but less crowds. Of coursee, I am getting angry at the loss of emh in january, which is making it less worthwhile to go then, so we will see!How have been your experiences in February?

Wait. I was away for awhile... Disney removed all extra magic hours in the month of January? Glad that you've liked FebruaryFebruary (away from the holiday) was awesome.

not all. and they are taking away nighttime ones more than morning. They reduced them by a LOT. Almost every park was closed by 8 this tear, epcot at 9. Just check the hours before you go. I think Sunday and friday had some decent emh, but the rest of the week had less emh than we have been used to!Wait. I was away for awhile...

Glad that you've liked FebruaryIt's a short trip for me and my mom, and I'm actually giving over two days mostly to Universal with a few hours at Disney after those parks close. We arrive early and leave late so all told I get 3ish days at Disney but was hoping the crowds would be lower so I can get as much done as possible. (I made a list of the things I'd really like to do in each park, things that that I'd do if I have the time, and things I wouldn't do even if I had the time... shockingly, Stitch made that list
)
Yeah, I have the schedule of all the different hours for each park written down in a little notebook I intend to take with. The weekends do but I'd agree... less than they used to. Sigh. Hoping the EMH will be worth my while. I've noticed that people have said it's less of a value because it now gets so crowded during EMH that it can be hard to get anything done but hoping the lower crowds as a whole will help with that.not all. and they are taking away nighttime ones more than morning.

Right after Labor Day has been a good time for us, except for that one time when there was a hurricane.My wife and I will be going after Labor Day so it should be great crowd wise. The only problem we should have is the Villains party on the 13th.
Hopefully that was the ONLY time we will see a hurricane in September but I know that is wishful thinking. Ok, maybe just for this year. Lol.Right after Labor Day has been a good time for us, except for that one time when there was a hurricane.
It was Frances in 2004, just a few weeks after Hurricane Charley.Hopefully that was the ONLY time we will see a hurricane in September but I know that is wishful thinking. Ok, maybe just for this year. Lol.
Sept. is still plenty hot. We went mid-Sept 2012 it was quite hot then, and humid, but hey, it's Fla.We hope to avoid crowds by going mid November or early December. We went at the end of September 2011. We loved it but my DH found it a little too hot. Hoping for less 90's in the weather by going later fall.
