Planning a trip for 2020. Would you rather...

[WDWFan2018]

Would your rather go in November, when crowds are a little higher but the weather is nice or in August when the crowd levels are at their lowest but the weather is really hot?

November. It's usually beautiful and warm enough to visit the pool, but not so humid to make everyone miserable.

I'm from DC, so I'm used to hazy hot and humid, and I know how to manage it so I don't get sick.

I would personally take the November and nicer weather any day!

November. You can work around the crowds with good planning in place and be more comfortable. Ive gone in August and it was humid enough for me to decide to avoid August from then on. Another benefit of going in November is that you can get in when the stunning Christmas decorations are being put in place and some holiday events are going on.

If you go during Veteran's Day weekend or immediately thereafter, most of the Christmas stuff is up. The MK Christmas parties usually start that week and unfortunately, they tend to film the ABC Christmas specials that week as well - I think it can mess up MK or HS a bit.

August for me. I know it's not popular, but I don't like Disney's seasonal decorations. I can feel Christmasy at home in December, I don't need to see Christmas decorations in Orlando before Thanksgiving.

November, for all the reasons previously stated above.

Me too!! I like my theme parks to be the every day version. We always go to Universal before HHN decorations go up as well!!!

I'm going in August this year and they're going to have Halloween up.

That’s weird.

 

[Mainahman]

Why not both? The bad influence of the bunch!

We did August in 2012 and it was up then too... This year were going for 3 days for our anniversary in September, and looking forward to seeing them all again.

Money grab... they want to start the Halloween party as early as possible. I don’t know about everyone else, but the thought of celebrating Halloween in mid-August when it’s 95 degrees is just... unseemly.

November. It’s so hot, humid, and uncomfortable in August. Even if November costs more I’d choose that because I’d enjoy myself much more.

I had a trip planned for November 9-13, but have now switched it to January 22-26 as January is about the halfway mark between our recently completed July trip and our June 2020 trip. If I had to choose between August or November, I would be going in November. This time, the July weather really got to me. I cannot imagine the mugginess of August and worrying about it being part of hurricane peak season. No thanks.

 

[DreamalittleDisney]

I'd pick November

 

[ctcdisneymama]

November for sure. It is super crowded but the weather is beautiful and the christmas decorations are magical!

 

[Ghostdog]

November. I’ve been in June, July and August...never again it’s WAY too hot. October and November are perfect weather and you can still enjoy an afternoon at the pool.

November of those two. Thread the needle between Veteran's Day & Thanksgiving Week (things really get hopping on the Friday before Thanksgiving). My all-time favorite time to go is, hands down, the first half of May.
