Which month is better?

[ligarced]

We are planning our trip for 2011. We don't know if we should go the first or second week of March or the first or second week of May. Any information on those months would be great.

May is cheaper and should be less crowded.

i.e. Early March is Peak season, May is Regular season, a standard value resort room will cost you $20 more per night in Peak vs Regular season.

first week of march is great!!

It's not as hot and crowds are light.

I am going the first part of March and I am hoping for moderate crowds. I would have liked to go the first week of May. DW is a teacher and end of grade testing occurs in May. Many vacations are not approved for that time of year.

Thank you, I think we are going to go for the first week of March.

Problem with March is college spring break...:wave:

Early March is the peak of spring break season for southern colleges and universities. I'd go May, which is also less expensive.

We went this year May 9 - 16. It was really great. Crowds were light. Oh, there were places where the crowds were heavier, but we did walk right up to all the rides. The heat was ok, but about mid afternoon, we started to feel the heat. Really enjoyed walking into shops that had those fans that blew cool air straight down!!!!

We enjoyed the May trip so much, we're going again next May - first week. We've been in December (we'll try the first week if we do December again), and October (which is my favorite time so far)

May will be less crowded, but possibly hotter. In March you deal with Spring Breaks and baseball Spring Training is in full swing as well.
