Which week is best?

[Tiggerfanatic]

I'm trying to decide when to book my trip for this fall.

Looking at Sept. 9-14th. My birthday is Sept. 10th, and that week includes a holiday, so I'm concerned about crowds, and also how hot the weather might be. I would be buying a multi-day pass, so I wouldn't be taking advantage of the free admission on my birthday, and quite frankly, I don't see myself spending $75 in souveniers (Wasn't really impressed with the merchandise the last couple times I was there.)

OR, should I go the 1st-7th of October? Still can get free dining, but hopefully, the weather will be a little more moderate. And, since I am already planning to doing MNSSHP with DD in 2010, am I better off planning on going this week now, and getting an annual pass to use for next year's trip? Or another option would be to buy a 10-day hopper with no expiration - the difference between that and an annual is only $13.00, and I'm not tied to the calendar year.

Decisions, decisions!! HELP!

There won't be crowds Sept 9-14, so don't worry about that.

Your other options if you go on your birthday:

- A special birthday FASTPASS badge for certain attractions at the Theme Park you visit on your birthday; or
- A 1-day Magic Your Way base ticket for you to use any time until your next birthday.

I'd go in Sept.! It's hot but the crowds are so low! I prefer low crowds, myself! And you could always use the gift card to buy some early Christmas presents or something like that, if you couldn't find anything for yourself!

What about the first week of September, right before Labor Day?

I'd say October!
The weather will be a bit cooler and I've heard wonderful things about going at that time. Plus, you can get an annual pass which will save you some money.
Good luck and have fun!

We went the second week of October last year. It was the busiest we've ever seen.
