    Hi Moms, We are planning our first trip Disney and want to go when crowds are lighter but also want to know which week would have better weather. After thanksgiving, end of January/early Feb. or last week of Feb.?

    Hi, Keri!

    Of those three choices, the best one for crowds and weather is, by far, the end of January/early February. The weather is still cool (and you might even need a jacket a night).

    Crowd levels at that time are much lower than average. You're not between peak holidays, as you would be after Thanksgiving, before Christmastime, and you're not heading into Spring Break season, as at the end of February (also coinciding with President's Day crowds).

    Truthfully, late January (after Marathon weekend, which, next year is January 10-13). is my absolute favorite time to visit. I hope it become yours, too!

    See you later, celebrator,
