I've always been an advocate for the week after Thanksgiving till the week of/before Christmas. Low crowds, cool temperatures (70s), and as an added bonus, you get to enjoy the Christmas decorations without the Christmas crowds.
second or third week in may......kids are still in school.....weathers not overbearing.....lines are tolerable.....but anytime after memorial day errrrrr
October...great weather... mid 70's-mid 80's and absolutely NO lines...
NO CHEERLEADERS OR DANCE SQUADS!!!
but...if you think about it...waiting in lines is part of the experience isn't it? I mean, if there are no lines, you can hit every attraction in about 4 hours (at the MK) (believe me, I've done it) if you wait in line, the day seems to go by evenly.
we once went in mid-june too hot and too crowded first part of may was nice .. memorial day is a nightmare .. we are going in april this year ..and dont really know for sure what to expect since this is a first ..so as of now my vote would be for the first part of May ..but I wouldnt turn down a trip to the World any time of year :sohappy:
I think most people like Oct because of Mickeys' Halloween, one thing you always have to consider is rain ..it does that alot some months down there, like sept, july and august
Thanks Tink!
Does the Halloween Party get very crowded? My son would be so psyched to go dressed up as Buzz or a Star Wars character and my daughter would love to go as Minnie. I am envious of you going next month...
actually its not really too bad .. nothing like the christmas or summer crowds thats for sure and dressing like the charactors will get your kids extra attention
For me, the best time to go is between New Year's and President's Day. About a week or 2 after New Year's is awesome. My friend and I went and the only line we saw was for Space Mountain and that was 20 mintues (keep in mind Splash was in rehab and Big Thunder was broken down for the day). And the weather was incredible. mid 60's and clear skies. It was really a great time, cept for the cheerleaders everywhere...
When you can get WL Courtyard View rooms for 154 cause business is so bad. Other than that the best time of year is either right before christmas or right after christmas, i know you miss the decorations but the weather is nice and the crowds are really nonexistant. Basically anytime the weather is in the 70's and sunny is a great day to go to the parks, luckily i'm close enough that I can go up there on daytrips etc
