    Question Best Month To Visit

    Whcih month do you find best to visit? Personally, I find May time best because it's not as hot as in the summerbut the parks still have good opening hours and it's not too crowded.

    In me and DBF experience we feel early January (sometime after new years and before marathon weekend, or right after marathon weekend) is the best time to go. For us it is anyway. Plus it helps break up cold/snowy weather in NE lol

    September is a good time. There are no crowds, since most kids have gone back to school after Labor Day, yet the park hours are still long enough. The temperature is still good and you get to see the Halloween decs and parties.

    Dh and I love October. We've been to Disney in September, November and December before, and they are also great times to go... But, if we had to choose we'd stick with October.

    Next trip: 11/24th thru 12/5 @ the POP
    ( 19 days and counting to the trip, 12 working days )

    We love May. The weather is great, hot during the day for swimming and waterparks and cool at night! The crowds are not bad at all and the parks have evening hours. We love May! I have never been in November or December but would love to go to see the Christmas decorations.

    We too have been Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec in past trips. Certainly its worth seeing the Christmas decorations but the extra light of October (expecially this) and F&WF makes it a better time for us.

    I voted for Sept/Oct without looking at anyone's replies. I absolutely loved everything about October: fairly low crowds, climate, MNSSHP, Food & Wine Festival.

    I can't speak from experience on early December but that is next on my list of times of year to visit. I'd also like to try January but I'm hearing that it's getting more and more crowded every year so I don't know if it will be worth it to be as cold and wet as it can be with comparable crowds to October/November.

    May has also been a family favorite. I love that you get the Flower & Garden festival and that it lacks the heat and humidity of other summer months but the rain can still be an annoying issue.

    I voted Nov/Dec for the Christmas extras.The magic of Disney multiplied by the Magic of Christmas.
    But an extremely close second is Jan. In fact these are the only 3 months we will go.

    I went with September/October. Our favorite is about mid to late September.

    First week in Dec. is the best. Perfect weather, low crowds, and chrismas decorations are the best.

    The best time to be there for my is the only time I'm able to get down there. That is the summer. I would like to be there from November to February sometime, but that will have to wait until I retire or win the lottery? Since I don't play the lottery it'll be retirement.
