Comparing Sept/Oct/Nov

[CP_alum08]

In the preliminary stages of planning a trip for fall '15 and having a difficult time deciding when to go. A little background info; it's just me and my girlfriend, no kids, we used to be FL residents and this will be our first trip back to WDW as non-residents. Here's when I'm thinking so far...

Sept. - Theoretically the lowest crow levels, which is important. Also, theoretically the 'cheapest' time to go. Still stupid hot for most of the month. MNSSHP, we might do this if we are there during it but it's not something we would specifically go for. F&W, this is actually something we would try to avoid, it's in the "been there done that" category especially with how crazy it's gotten.

Oct. - Pretty much the same as Sept. but a little better weather and slightly higher crowds(?). If I remember right, isn't there some type of competition during October? Cheer, football, soccer, etc.?

Nov. - MVMCP, same type of deal as a Halloween party, something we might do but not something we would specifically go for. Good weather. Christmas decorations up which is always nice to see. Obviously the closer you get to Thanksgiving the crazier it gets. We have the luxury of being able to go whenever we want so we would stay away from the end of November.

So thats it. Am I missing anything? What are your thoughts?

My wife and I have been going to WDW in September since our honeymoon in 1999. We try and plan it around the week of the 18th. More times than not the weather is great. Crowds... It's Disney, If you go into it knowing you will be in a line from time to time you will be fine. Be sure to take advantage of the Park Hopper so you can get the most out of the Magic hours.

Did you go every year since 1999? Ever been caught in a hurricane and if yes, how was the experience? That's the only thing drawback I can think of us going in September. I'm open to tolerating some rain and thunderstsorms in the afternoon if it's short lived but a raging hurricane going for days sounds like a vacay gone to hell. Even if Disney takes care if you, being stuck inside for several days defeats the purpose of going on vacation. My dad tried to talk me out of going for that reason.
