This is one of many reasons we homeschool. We like taking our vacations whenever we want to and when crowds are lower. My husband and I had our honeymoon at Disney World in January 2003 and it was awesome! No lines, the weather was warm enough for tank tops in the daytime and just a light jacket at night. We loved it! We are going back for our 20 year anniversary the first week of November this year.

I returned to my address and booked two more trips for home not long after I got to my apartment like many of us out of state passholders do! The first is those 2 weeks after labor day and the second I'm looking for a crowded fun filled time and getting a family getaway; not going anywhere with my family, but rather going by myself Christmas through NYE to get away from my family. It looks so fun with Hogsmeade being decorated and the lights and festivities!

Excellent video Rick, I think you nailed it. Visiting in November 2021 I noticed the difference with the week before Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving.

Hello thank you for the information, I agree my first time going was my Bday July 23rd of last year and i was dying lol but had to be in Diagon Alley on my Bday.. I’m from Az so I’m used to the heat however that humidity got me nauseous so I broke up my park days to go back to the hotel to shower and cool off. But I will be going back this year in November, 14-18th to be exact and was wondering what the weather will be like.. I’m a hoodie and shorts kinda guy so was wondering if the weather will be cool enough or will it be hot / humid ?

I was there at a great time in early November last year. Very low crowds, short lines. It was the week after "Jersey Week" (when the Northeast gets a week off school), and before Thanksgiving. Some years, that may be just a one week window. Last year was a 2-week window, and it seemed like the perfect time for low crowds.

Aaaand. August & September are peak months during hurricane season. While there aren't that many storms to make direct landfall in Central Florida, they can still make enough of an impact on Florida's weather to rain out a vacation week. Also, during HHN, regular park hours close earlier in the evening, shortening the day's visit.

Mid to late September used to be my go to when we would vacation at Disney every year. The lack of crowds more than made up for the weather. These days I have been going to universal either just before or after thanksgiving and it has always been decent weather and good to ok crowds. It can be a bit chilly from time to time so if you have people who love to swim keep that in mind when going in the cooler months. It’s Florida but not every day is hot

@@jei_dorado September is one of the more rainy months. But my experience is usually it rains for 15-20 minutes then stops. Does that for 4-5 days or so then you get a day where it cuts loose. But then it’s dry for some days before it’s starts with the short showers again. With the temp the showers were always a welcome relief and we never had many problems caused by the rain.

My family will be heading to Orlando in September for a five night club level stay at portofino bay! My husband found an incredible deal! And it was LESS than the same number of days a DisneyWorld moderate resort. 🤦🏻‍♀️ oh disney. I’m sorry we have to cheat on you with universal. As much as I love French quarter, I’ll take a week feeling fancy at Portofino Bay any time!!! 😻 we are so excited. Who ever thought it would be universal giving us that feeling of value for the money being spent?! They sure did pounce on the opportunity! Considering that Chapek so obviously went to the Joy and Magic Tank and live-streamed himself emptying into the Florida swamp…I would imagine even Gatorland gives happier not being ripped off feels than WDW at the moment. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😉 Thanks for this video!!!

I want this say yes and no, because I mean some people still work during the summer months (the first week and until Monday if the the seconds kids are still in school), but kids are out if school, so more families start going.
