September or November??

[tmz814]

I am trying to plan a disney trip in the fall. I have to work around school breaks, so it's either Wednesday to Sunday right after LaborDay in September or Wednesday to Sunday of Jersey week in November...

I have been during Jersey week before and enjoy seeing the Xmas decorations go up, but the airfare is around $200 less to go in September...

Any opinions??? Is one time of year better than the other??

September is the slowest time of year! The crowds are non existent to very manageable. While November has the Christmas decorations, September has Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. MK is decorated for halloween.
If MNSSHP is scheduled during your visit, I highly recommend it (It may not start right after labor day). You will get more candy than you can imagine, the HalloWishes fireworks are the best I've seen and the party is incredible. November is a great time to go as well but If you've already done November - give Sept a try. Save the $$ for airfare and go to MNSSHP

You can't go wrong either way

yes september is slow but when tmz is going there won't be MNSSHP . it starts on the 11 this year the halloween decorations will be up or started to get put up. If you are going durring jersey week it will be busier but you will have the food and wine fest to look forward to

We like going the week of labor day as the crowds are very manageable. The only down side is hurricane season, but it never keeps us from going.

Hope his helps...

Yep. Peak hurricane season, but the chances of one impacting your vacation are reasonably low. The bigger issue for me is early September is MUCH hotter and more humid than mid-Nov. In early Sept. you're still dealing with low to mid 90s and very high humidity while Nov is generally much more comfortable.

I agree. The September dates have lower crowds but it is still very hot and humid. While it is hurricane season, like Chris said, the possibility of actually having an impact from a hurricane is pretty slim (not impossible but still slim)

November was awesome!!!

Temps were never above 80 degrees and there was little humidity.

LOVED IT!!!!

We used to go in September but it was just too hot for us. Now we go in October or November and love that time. If you don't mind the heat September is a great time to go.

Our last trip we went in early November for almost two weeks. The weather was nice. Our previous two trips now have been during the Christmas season. I really enjoy seeing the Osborne Lights and it will be difficult for me not to see them on our next trip in July.

In short; the Osborne Lights would tilt the scale for me.

We've done both. September is nice, but can still be quite hot and humid. Crowds are not bad.

We like November so much we have visited at that time on 4 different occasions. It is a very nice time to visit and there is a lot going on. The weather is generally good, although on our trip this past November, we unfortunately saw very little sun.

We generally plan our November trip for the week before Thanksgiving. We miss F&W, but that event is not that important to us.
