Re: april , may or oct ??????

I have never been in October but was there late April,early May. The weather was great- the last 2 days did get into the 90's and humid. We were able to do the water parks. It was also the flower and garden show!!

Re: april , may or oct ??????

I would think April might run into late spring break crowds???? May would hit the end of the semester college people.

Re: april , may or oct ??????

I'd go with October - April is notoriously busy between Easter and Springbreak. The weather in October is beautiful and the crowds are low.

Re: april , may or oct ??????

I would say 'no' to April. April means Spring break for some schools & colleges. Late May means southern schools are out which means bigger crowds. Early May could be fine. Early to mid October should be fine. Late October is Halloween week, if I am not mistaken. Unless, you like the large crowds. I would pick early May or early October.

Re: april , may or oct ??????

October weather should be wonderful!! You could even catch Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Epcot's Food and Wine Festival- both are wonderful!!! April is too crowded and May is too HOT!!

My vote is for October!!

Re: april , may or oct ??????

I vote Oct, because we have gone twice then and love MNSSHP!!! But for us, it's depressing to come home to face the long winter ahead, so most around here go at Easter. Oh, plus, if you plan for Oct, I know it's a long wait, but it gives you more time to save

Re: april , may or oct ??????

We've been in May about 5 times.
Great weather and very moderate crowds.

Re: april , may or oct ??????

We have gone at end of May, and have seen low crowds, and cooler temps, with no rain. Never been in April, but I would think Spring Break would interfere. Given my choice, I would go in October.

We have been in May and October. Both times, the weather was great. The May trip got a little crowded, as the local schools had just gotten out. We love MNSSHP, so would vote for October.

Re: april , may or oct ??????

October, for sure. Early, preferably. We have gone in late Sept and it is still HOT...I would think Oct. would be perfect...low crowds, great weather, but hot enough to do the water parks, a necessity with our family. You cant beat MNSSHP! It is so much fun. I would have a hard time waiting for Oct, so would press for April or May, but I know that is just impatience, I think the Best time to go would be October!

We have never been in April or May but have in October and the weather was good and we were there for MNSSHP which was worth the cost

Re: april , may or oct ??????

We have been during all these months, and I would say that that October is the best time to go. It was very crowed in both April and May. October the weather was very nice and can I say the Mickey's Not Scary Halloween Party was Awesome, Awesome...... My whole family loved, I would go in OCtober if I were you.

I would definitely say October. The weather is fantastic, and the crowds are low. You will have a great time.
