Need a little advice...
I am (hopefully!) going to get to go back to WDW next year....and my family too
 I wanted to poll everyone to see what they think of our chosen dates, which have not yet been reserved but are preferrable b/c of happenings during that time.......We are looking at May 26-June 2 or 3, so we can go to SW weekends. Our kids do not get out of school until May 25 or we'd go earlier. Now, having said that, this is Memorial Day weekend. I don't know for sure if SWW will be any later weekends than that so we could possibly delay a week or 2 if we can. Just on these specific dates, what can we expect? Massive crowds since it's a holiday and at the end of the school year? I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and have been wanting to go for SWW for several years, since I first learned about them. What has been anyone's experience??

Re: Need a little advice...
We went to WDW last May from May 24th to June 1st and I thought it was just about perfect. Crowds built slowly while we were there but nothing like our usual July crowds. We called my inlaws just about every day to tell them we hadn't broken a sweat yet (a joke since we normally go together in July and sweat our brains out). I would go again during this time any year, we had the best trip.

Re: Need a little advice...
Our choices are always from Fall into winter. October - February
When its getting coled or is cold here it's nice to get away to the warm weather in Florida. Were not a big fan of the Hot humid weather that can be there in May

Re: Need a little advice...
we did our honeymoon 5/12 - 5/21, and it was probably the best that i have ever seen the parks. the crowds were light, the weather was perfect, and epcot was amazing with the flower festival.....

Re: Need a little advice...
We did a late may trip several years ago and found the parks to have very light crowds.
Have fun planning your trip!

Re: Need a little advice...
We've done the same dates in 2005 & 2003....it was perfect!! We left the moment the kids were out of school and arrived the next evening. The crowds weren't bad at all (OK maybe Memorial Day at MK was busy, but nothing else)& the weather was great. I would not hesitate to do it again...except for the fact that all of the "year end" stuff that goes along with school can stress you out while getting ready for WDW...but WDW was super! Do it!!
