Wondering what month is everyones favorite to go to WDW.
I havent been there in every month, and any month is good, but I think October may be my favorite.

I have been in November, July ( most of the time) August and September and October. I love the parks in September Not as hot, less crowds but I hate the early hours they close. MNSSHP, Boo to you parade, all the fall decorations. LESS CROWDED!!!

September and October are a toss up for me!!!

I've only visited in February and September...I went with September for the weather and crowds. This year most of our time will be the first week of October...hoping it will be great!

We went during the first month of June. The parks were on summer hours so we got the most out of our tickets and it wasn't very crowded because Summer had not really kicked in. And a nice front had just came in right before so our weather was about 80 all week with minimal humiditiy and only one night of rain.

Had to go with October. The weather is great that time of a year and I LOVE Mickeys not so Scary Halloween Party my favorite event down there!!! Also I really enjoy the Food and Wine Festival that goes on in Epcot during October all the added countries make it real special!!!

I went with November as my fondest memory is going in Nov for my honeymoon, but It is a close call between November, Oct and December.

Weather is cooler, lines aren't too bad. Only negative is some of the parks close earlier than they do in the summer. But if I miss the lines, crowds and heat, it is worth it to me.

I definitely like November for the prior reasons stated, but i really enjoyed the couple of times i've gone in the summer months. It seemed as if there were more "street" performers & characters out than in other less busy times.

November is a great month - Food & Wine Festival and Christmas decorations. We went last year and MK was still decorated for Halloween and the last MNSSHP, but when we got off the monorail at EPCOT, it was all decorated for Christmas! Cool

May is also a great month - the weather is great, the crowds are manageable and the EPCOT Flower Show is good.

We mostly go the last week of September or the week after Thanksgiving. Last year we did Sept. This year first week of Dec. I love the decorations and the atmosphere for the Holidays. It makes X-Mas much more enjoyable and exciting when we visit during the Holidays.

Both of these times are slow seasons, so verry little people in the park and we get to do everythign we want and not have to wait in lines longer than 5-10 minutes.

I LOVE going to Disneyland in October. But the problem is that I've gone in October for the past 5-6 years and it's been that long since I've seen the normal Haunted Mansion! Sad

I'll see it at WDW when I go in October. And I'm trying to get a trip to Disneyland going in April of '09.

I like February; it's colder and it's definitely not a high-traffic month. I would have chosen September too- but I gotta go with the month that's colder! Makes walking around so much easier!

Although the heat and crowds are a bit discouraging, I do like May as well. The high-traffic seasons provide more showing times and a more memorable time(since there seems like so much more to see!).

I think the best two months to go are April and November because of the great temperatures. 70s and 80s are a great way to roam to park. The summer gets a little to hot and sticky I think.
