    What month is the best time to go to wdw?

    Andrea:

    WOW!  That question could probably get a LOT of different answers, depending on who you ask!

    Because you didn't mention what you had in mind when you say "best".....here are a few thoughts:

    • For low crowds:  September or January.  School's in, so most kids are out of the parks!
    • For good weather:  late-October to mid- April.  To me, good weather means I can visit the parks without wearing a pony tail under a ball cap, not to mention low humidity and minimal sweat!  Even in December and January, I can get by without a light jacket for most of the day. 
    • For seasonal decorations:  mid-September through early November brings fun Harvest and Halloween decorations throughout the parks; in late November through the first week of January Christmas decor, including festooned trees fill not only the parks, but also the resorts!
    • For best rates: Few realize that Disney can be done on even a strict budget!  Value season runs roughly from mid-January to mid-February; mid-August through September; and then from mid-November through mid-December, excluding some holiday weekends here and there.
    • Best all-around: Although I'm a sucker for Fort Wilderness in October with its smell of pine, pleasant weather and festively-decorated campsites, early December brings even cooler, dry weather, Christmas decorations, more moderate crowds--and all at a great rate!
    Hope one of these fits the bill--and your schedule! 

    Wishing y'all a magical vacation!

My family of 6 appreciates Disney's value! Although Ft. Wilderness is our second home, we've enjoyed the resorts for business, reunions and romantic getaways. For me, Disney also means dining: last count, I'd eaten at 55 restaurants around the World! Learn More About Whitney
