Which months have you NOT visited WDW?

[Vacationeer]

Oops. This posted by accident before I was finished. Was not able to add Nov and Dec

I was curious what other people would answer. For us, it’s May June and July. Never been in WDW those months. We are planning to do May in 2024.

Jan and Feb are usually too cold to swim much. Mar and Apr are Spring Break times so can be very crowded. May is just too stormy. A team of wild Clydesdales couldn't drag me to WDW in Jun, Jul, and Aug because they are just too dang hot and packed. Sep is okay but it is still very hot AND you have to deal with the LoveBugs. Nov and Dec are hit and miss with the right weeks to go and not be rubbing shoulders constantly with the packed crowds. Oct is our "go to" time to go but not the week of Columbus/Indigenous People's Day.

I know, picky right?

Haha, us too. Not likely to ever go in Aug or Sept again, or try June/July. I think we’ve settled into Oct-Jan or after Easter-May.

I hate hate hate Florida in the Fall and early Winter, mostly because I love the changing of the seasons here at home so much. The last place I want to be around the holidays is somewhere 82 and sunny. I don't mind the summer heat because it's summer, so it's supposed to be hot. Summer and Spring Break crowds don't bother me, but Christmas and Easter crowds do.

That puts me into January through August, with a preference for non-Easter April.

October is our go to month (end of, Halloween).

Once in May and once in June.

Next year trying April - week after Easter week.

It seems the only month we have never been to WDW has been July. Always avoided the summer months and only went in Aug one time because it worked out to be the only time one year I could fit in.

My fav times Oct & Dec. Early May was really good.... like 10 years ago.

 

[correcaminos]

I think it has only been April and August... maybe not January but I cannot say 100% for sure.

Weather and crowd wise I prefer May into like the 1st week of June. We go March a lot now. I am not a huge fan of Nov/Dec/winter as a whole because it is often too cold. But my birthday is early Feb so I have gone for my birthday (hence not sure if I did Jan or not)

 

[CynBeth]

For us it is the opposite there are many months we have never gone the only ones we have been are June, November, and December.

 

[Demarke]

May, June, Sept, Dec for me! Most trips coincide with the running weekends these days, but occasionally get down for work, so may check those off at some point too.

Haven't been in March, May, or October.
I'm not opposed but just not sure if it will ever happen.

Late August and mid November are my go to times.

Personally I do not recommend July.
Not because of summer crowds but because both times I went it rained all day every day and the area had twice as much rain as average.
I love late August though... low crowds and the weather seems more normal where there's a massive afternoon thunderstorm but before and after its sunny.

Did first week in December, not January or February just because it could be too chilly and many rides go into extended refurb…July and August, NO WAY, too hot and humid, did late September, October & November…great along with March, April and May

 

[Patcheslee]

We go in June, usually works well with Father's Day, Anniversary, temps he can deal with, and warm enough for me to swim.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

June, July and August.

Too hot IMO.

July and August here. It’s mostly the crowds and the heat and humidity. January-March is a nice time to escape the cold weather of the Mid-Atlantic. Pre-Covid the parks weren’t too crowded at certain times of the year. Now it seems crowded at any time.

I'd avoid late August early Sept, peak Hurricane season.

I’m with you on that, but I do enjoy September after Labor Day. Just gotta keep an eye to the sky. It’s easier for us though since we drive and occasionally take the Auto Train home.

 

[belledream]

February and November for me. Though that will be changing…

Favorite time is usually September, but this past May trip though… it was just perfect. Really nice to not worry about hurricanes.

Least favorite would be summer months. I’ve only been during those times when my parents took us, which I appreciate dearly, but would be hard for me to do the same for my kids.
