Crowds, weather, etc will be about the same. You might hit slighter higher crowds, especially at Epcot, in October as the F&WF will be started then. Also, you would run into Columbus Day weekend in October which is a holiday for some. But, in general, it would be about the same.

In general, hurricane season does start to wind down in mid-October, but hurricane season runs through the end of November so October is still smack in the middle of it, especially the dates that were mentioned. Actually, this year I'd be more worried about a storm hitting the OP's hometown than WDW given the general track of storms this year.

I have been in September and it was HOT and crazy-humid both times.
I've been in October twice and it was warm and comfortable.
I vote for October - with the bonus being the food and wine festival.

October just as other's have mentioned great weather - We went once in September and all it did was rain and no it was not the 20 minute shower then its over - it was ALL DAY!!!
and FYI Columbus Day was not that bad at all I thought it was going to be crazy like July 4 or Christmas but nothing of the sort!

I like October best. It's a little cooler and less humid, but still warm enough for swimming and water parks. I think the crowds will be about the same either time, except around Columbus day.

Oh I think that is tough. I would go for Oct as you run a better chance of cooler weather (but both will probably still be warm), but like everyone said crowds will probably be worse with the holiday.
I guess if it was me...I would have to pick Oct. I realize the crowds will be worse, but you have plenty of days and the F&W will be up and running. Either way you will have a great time!

I'm currently at WDW for our first family vacation and I have learned that September is not a good month for our family. As great as it is being here, the heat and humidity is too much for our kids. Our oldest actually got sick in the middle of the night due to the combo of heat and walking despite our efforts to keep things cool. So my vote would be October for you (though maybe December or Jan for us )

October.
The Food and Wine Festival is fun. It's also cooler, usually. However, we have been in early October before when the temps were in the mid 90's. It was miserable. Spent a lot of time in the pool. But that's not the norm.
