    Default When do you go?

    I have noticed alot of folks are planning on going to WDW either in Aug/Sept for the free Dining or Nov/Dec for the Holidays.

    Anywho, it left me pretty curious about what month most Intercotees go and if they actually go during these times more than any other months.

    I have heard different things on different posts, but I thought a good ole poll would better show the numbers. So vote!

    Which month are you going in 07-08?

    If you aren't going anytime soon, what month do you usually go?

    Ive been twice and once was January and once was February. Our 2008 trip is planned for January. We would rather have the chance of being cold than sweating to death. Shorter lines are nice as well. And we dont have to worry about hurricane season.

    We started going in August for our Honeymoon, and first anniversary. We actually find that it works well, lines are fairly short, we don't have to take DD out of school, and it is a great way to end the summer.

    We're going in May next year, for DD's 10th birthday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we have as good a trip as we do in August.

    We have gone May thru September in the past. We have never gone during the colder months. Our best trip was in September(before we had to worry about school) - no lines and warm weather. However, we have not been able to go since kids are in school. Our most trying trip was at the beginning of July - too crowded for us. We have decided the first week of August fits in our schedule nicely. Some of the Florida schools have started classes therefore it is not so crowded. The only problem is we cannot take advantage of the free dinning We are going the first week in August

    First trip 1972
    Last trip 7/11
    Next trip 6/12

    We go three times a year. We go in October,
    end of Feburary and the last of May. Sometimes
    we go at Christmas time. We love MNNSHP,
    wine and food festival, flower and garden
    festival at Epcot and then star wars weekends
    at MGM. Of course Christmas is very special.
    We can hardly take it all in..........

    This would have been our 4th year going in September. Instead we decided to make a BIG move across the state of PA. We are going to move our trip to winter 08.

    Happy planning!!!

    We don't really have "a time" we go. I was thinking about it a few weeks ago and it's funny because so far I've been twice in January, twice in May (as of this upcoming May trip), twice in August, and twice in October. We're testing the waters in September this year so we could participate in the Free Dining Plan. After this year with so many trips during totally different seasons maybe be will know what our "time" is. Or maybe we'll just keep playing it by ear. Next time we start planning, a few years down the line, I want to go for Christmas, for sure! Early December would be great. I just love Christmas!

    We've gone in April, August, October, and November. Our best trip as far as low crowds was in mid-November 2001. Our most crowded was August, but that's when we're going again this year due to school schedules.

    We're new into going as a family, and went last May for the first time with our DD's. (Before our kids, we went a few times in April and August - rainy in April, HOT in August!) It was a great time of year. This year, my DH and I are going alone for I'cot's anniv., so we'll get to experience October for the first time. Next year, we plan on going the end of Nov/early Dec for Christmas... I think that'll be wonderful, too! (Not that any time at Disney wouldn't be... )

    I go whenever I can! I try different times of the year hoping for a less crowded time. However, I won't go in March anymore. Too cold. We travel from the Northeast and its freezing up here. I want the hot weather.

    We love going at the end of April or early May. The crowds are not bad and the weather is great with temps in the mid 80's and we've never been rained on at WDW.

    We've been in May, July, August, September, and December. My favorite was September - we really lucked out with the weather on that trip. This year we're going back in August to avoid pulling the girls out of school again.

    We go in late June/early July, because that is when work allows it. Our other time is around Christmas.

    Although it wasn't an option, I like September/October! The weather is prefect and there aren't as many crowds.

    We made one mid-February trip, and will not do it again. Our time for Disney is Last Week of Sept. into the First Week of Oct. - we may have to bump that up a week due to F&WF opening earlier every year, but we want to get in just before that opens - low crowds, great weather!!!
