Best time to visit?

[dickens]

Just wondering . . . what is the best time of year to visit? We want to avoid large crowds because we have a three year old. I would prefer not to go in June, July or August due to the heat. How are April, May and October?

Thanks

Late September can be very quiet. The crowds are low with kids now back in school. Once you get into October the crowds start picking up, but in early October you can have mild crowds and you can go to MNSSHP which is a blast. Your 3 year old could go trick or treating in MK dressed as a Disney character. How Cool! Also during MNSSHP the lines for rides like Pooh and Peter Pan are much shorter and you should be able to get on all of them a few times.

Good luck

We went in September of 2002. There no large crowds, there was good weather but not too hot.

Thanks. September or October would probably work out. I never thought of Halloween...that would be great!


Thanks so much!

All of January, the first two weeks of December, and September are the most quiet times of the year, along with mostly any weekday not occuring on a holiday. December is good though as you can take in all of the holiday decor!

I hope December is all of what you say. I am going to try the first week of December this year. I want to see all of the decorations.

I also hope they have the Osborne lights up this year!

We were there during the first week of dec. twice! It is beautiful!! And not that crowded! Very enjoyable!! Enjoy!!

We are going the first full week of December too! I'm so excited to see the lights and avoid the crowds.

I would recommend going in late September. In early September, school is off for Labor Day and you will get nailed with crowds.

This will be our third October trip so obviously I would suggest going then. The schools here have a fall break we our son does not miss any classes, and we can be at MNSSHP which is fun for all ages! I suggest giving the fall a try. You'll have smaller crowds and the weather is still nice enough to go to the water parks or have a swim if you like.
