May and early December are my favorite times to visit. I also enjoy late August into early September.

Every month is a favorite month, but if I had to pick just one, I'd say Dec.

I used to love January, until the tour groups took over. Sad, but true.

Crowd-wise, I like September. :crowd: And mainly for the Epcot festivals, I love May and October. :flower: :wine:

:ditto::giveup: My NEW favorite will more than likely be December. But I will know for sure after this next trip! :D

May and Nov/Dec. We went in October a couple of years ago, and it was just too hot. Cooler temps, lower crowds, Christmas decorations (Nov/Dec, obviously). How can you go wrong?

WE like September for low crowds. We also like May for Flower and Garden Festival.

These are the exact months for the same reasons that we used to go. Then we went one year in mid November for Christmas decorations/party/lights, etc. and now we are hooked on that. And with good timing, you can cross over with the food and wine festival which we also love! The temps are lower, but still plenty warm and we just love it this time of year.

Anytime I can go! Usually we go in July or August because of the kids being out of school.

These are the only times we have visited Disneyworld and we have to admit we like May a bit better - cooler temp and low crowds!

However, I look forward to being able to visit in early December sometime. I grew up by Disneyland and that was my favorite time of the year there. I can only imagine how cool it is at WDW.

October no question about it.
Cooler temps, small crowds, Air fair specials, free dining, Halloween party, lower humidity, love bugs are gone and the Cast members seem to be more pleasant as well.

Took the words right out of my mouth. That's October exactly and why we love it too.

I love February. The crowds are pretty low, the rides are all back up from January refurbs, the temps are always perfect, and the sun is up longer than other winter months.

December is really nice with all the Chritmas decorations, but with bigger crowds, shorter daylight, and the ADRs being a major pain in the backside from all the extra events at Epcot, and just can't go with that time of year.

First trip was Halloween week in 1975, long before MNSSHP existed. After that, we usually went mid-March, flannel shirt weather, my favorite type of weather.
In 2009, DW wanted to go down for her Bday, (9/5),to get the free admission, and we were able to do our first ticketed event, the Halloween Party. That trip,we signed up for DVC, and came back 9/10 to use our DVC points. Now we are again heading down in September. This time DWs family is joining us.
I think next trip, I want to try October again strictly because of better weather.

October for the reasons already stated!

Early December is my second choice for all of the decorations.

Late November/early December. We have a tradition of arriving Thanksgiving Day and staying through the end of the following week. Low crowds (once you get past Fri/Sat) and great weather, with the bonus of Christmas decorations and Osborne Lights!

We usually visit in May, so that's probably my favorite, but I also really love visiting in December! So it might be a toss up for me...a lot of it depends on the weather while we're there! :mickey2:

I'm not a fan of the hotter months but if I was given the option, I would never turn down a trip! My favorite months are February when I just want a relaxing trip, early December for Christmas feel/lights, and October for MNSSHP and the Food & Wine Festival. I like the weather in any of these months and I time it to avoid holidays so low crowds :thumbsup:

October is our favorite, too. Warm enough to swim, but no so miserably hot and humid, Cool evenings and HalloWishes!

Our most recent visits have been in early December due to my husband having conferences to attend in Orlando. We love the holiday decorations being up. I think my second choice would be October just because the crowds are low and weather is pretty good:secret:

I am surprised at how many people say that they like the weather in september.

we have visited 6 times in september both early and late in the month and maybe we were just unlucky but we found the humidity combined with the heat to be horrible.

the only time was for 2 or 3 days last september where it was actually pretty comfortable for us.

There are so many good times to come for all of the reasons already mentioned. (It's easy to see we're all huge fans.)

We usually come in October, mostly because it fits best into my work schedule. It just so happens that our family is a bunch of Halloween lovers so that works out real nice. We also love the Food & Wine Festival.

December is just gorgeous here. When we come at Christmastime, we spend more time shopping and seeing shows and less time riding.

This year, we are trying September and I am really looking forward to it. Our room rate was great and I'm hoping for manageable crowds.

But my absolute favorite time to come is May. The weather is perfect. The Flower & Garden Festival is beautiful. Great swimming weather. Average crowds. Flowers in full bloom everywhere. In my estimation, it is Disney showing off how perfect it can be.

We've only been early May, early Sept. and late Sept./early Oct. We really enjoyed all those times of year! May is great weather, has the Flower & Garden Festival, but slightly more busy than the fall. Early Sept. is perfect weather, low crowds. Late Sept./early Oct. had cooler weather, manageable crowds, the Halloween party, but swimming got a little chilly.

I prefer late Sept-Nov and March-May. Great weather, events and low crowds.

After our last trip, the end of October/beginning of November is mine. MNSSHP was a great time and I'd imagine if we were the a little later into November there would be Christmas decorations everywhere. Also, F&W seals the deal. I heard and read so much hype before we went and it exceeded my expectations!! Can't wait til we experience it again!!!

We love visiting in November, the week before Thanksgiving Week.. no crowds, no wait times, nearly perfect weather!

This year I am going in September so that will be something different for me.. I hear its a great month to visit so lets hope Sept will soon be on my list! 4 weeks to go!! :mickey:

Not summer. :D

We used to prefer early Feb for cooler weather and lighter crowds, but then got started on Oct for MNSSHP and FWF. Last year we decided October is just getting too popular so we are in search of a new favorite. We tried May this year and we liked it okay, Flower and Garden Fest. was nice. We're also trying Dec this year even though we know that won't be part of our regular rotation due to DH's work schedule. I can't lie though, fall is in the air and I'm itching to be back in WDW. October may be harder to give up than I thought. We're expecting in Feb so we likely won't have another trip until late 2013. We may have to give October just one more try. :secret:
