Hi Jessica,
According to the ever-trusty unofficial website touringplans.com, you've chosen two of the least crowded weeks of the yEAR! Bravo! Whether you should travel in October or December, however, is a tough choice for the following reasons.
Select nights in October offer the
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, sure to entertain your family with spooky decorations and outstanding entertainment, including Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. I love seeing so many of the Disney Villains during this time of year and I certainly can't miss the galloping Headless Horseman leading the parade floats! Check the link provided to watch for party release dates.
October also offers the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Tasting your way around World Showcase among world renowned chefs, wine seminars and specialized nightly music performances may seal the deal for you that October is the plan!
December, on the other hand, will offer
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on select nights. Here again, the party and Mickey's Once upon a Christmastime Parade will become a highlight of your vacation as you can't exactly experience SNOW on Main Street any other time of year!
Travelers will come from far and wide to view the Disney holiday decorations, as they are an attraction all on their own! The Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, Candlelight Processional and many other special events make the holidays a great choice for travel.
Your choice will likely depend on the holiday you prefer to celebrate while on vacation. You can't go wrong with weather or crowds, so determine what appeals to you and visit us again to tailor a perfect week of MAGIC!
