    Hands down, Nov and Dec are the best times to experience Disney magic! If you pick the right weeks, there's almost no one at the parks or resort pools. On top of that, it's decorated for the holidays, and makes it that much more magical!

    I've been to Disney in May and August every time..and it wasn't too bad..In August (1995) Epcot's Futureworld wasn't crowded at all. But I'm looking forward to January

    I voted Jan/Feb. I've heard good things about Nov/Dec, but DH just can't get off work that time of year since he works retail. We tried October for the first time this year and we prefer early Feb. The crowds are low and the temps are cool.

    We really like Oct because the weather is warm but not hot, not too crowded, has the F&WF and MNSSHP. All good things in Oct. We also like end of Nov and through Dec right before Christmas Eve. Not too crowded, nice weather (although cooler than Oct.) Mickey's Christmas Party and all the bewutiful holiday decorations. Very festive. I like visiting the resorts and viewing how beautifully they are decked. We also like Jan. It is a nice break from the winter up north and not crowded. Sort of late Jan through early Feb is nice and not crowded at all. May and early June before the schools get out are also nice weather and not too crowded. Those are our families favorite times of year to visit!

    I like early February. While holiday decorations are awesome in December, I love experiencing "traditional Disney." I also find the temperature in February to be perfect.

    I personally prefer the last two weeks of September as the crowd levels are fairly low and I get to go to the waterparks. Line length is very manageable and most times Fastpass is not needed.

    I truly enjoy my Flower Power concerts during May but often resolve myself to knowing I won't be having the freedom to ride whatever I want whenever I want. Experience has shown me the 'sweet' times to visit attractions during the day.

    I voted for January/February. Crowds are light and the weather is great - 60s-70s and fairly dry. We went in the middle of January on our past 2 trips - we're going to try the end of January next time, because we've heard that crowds are supposed to be even lighter then.

    My vote was for Nov/Dec. I have had good luck with this time frame. Cooler temps and less crowds are a delight..only watch out for the holidays!! They do make up for it people-wise around then. Other bummer is many attractions tend to go down for refurb around then

    With regards to crowds I think September and early May are best. But the Christmas decorations can't be beat! We've been twice during the first week of December and while we haven't experienced "low crowds" like others have, the decorations made up for it! Simply beautiful!

    We love going during May. The crowds are down, it does not get too hot, there are very few pop-up thunderstorms, and the bugs are not bad yet!

    I chose Jan/Feb. because of decent weather and shorter wait times for rides. Take away Holidays (New Years, MLK Day) and wait times should be down. However with kids in school we try the Sept./Oct. times as do most of you. But each year we are at WDW in July.

    My family loves going in early December. The X-Mas decorations are great, the weather is usually pretty good and there are so many fun holiday things to do.

    I like October for the weather and the crowds aren't too bad. There seemed to be a lot of people walking around, but we didn't wait long on any of the rides.

    Another vote for November, but before Thanksgiving. Holiday decorations are up, and the weather is great.
