may/june or sept/oct

votes please on which is better, last week in may & 1st week in june or last week in sept & 1st week in oct for; 1.crowds, & 2.weather. ? any school hols at these times [msnscared] ! thanks

We always go in October, it is not as busy in the parks and the weather is lovely. IMHO the best time of year to go.

I'm with Wendy about October as the weather has always been so beautiful. I would go early October as later in October it will be busier with more UK schools on Half term.

Me too, first two weeks in October. The weather is great the parks are definitely less crowded. But having said that May would be my second choice.[msnwink]

I have to agree with the others. We love October and this October has been fantastic - beautiful warm days into the 80's. You can't go wrong whichever date you choose, and we, too, enjoy May/June and have had some wonderful weather. Parks not too busy either.

Whatever you decide, hope you have a wonderful trip.[msnwink]

Having spent May/June and Sept/October here I don't think there is much in it. The weather is beautiful both times of the year. You may get a little longer daylight in May/June but only marginal.

Having been both times of year I prefer the May/June mainly because there is slightly more daylight otherwise both times of year the weather is fine and we have found the parks to be about the same.

Some Florida schools finish in early June and universities early May but of course both have summer schools so it does not automatically mean there will be more children in the parks.

I would just go at both times of the Year, May and then October - splash out (or win the lottery) as both are fantastic times of the year to go....

May can be quite nice in the UK so I suppose if I had to choose one then October but in October you have to return to our horrible winter rather than if you go in May as you return to the propsect that we may have a lovely summer...

Whenever you go you will have a fantastic time, IT REALLY IS MAGICAL.

I'm with Violet, been at both of these times and we like may/june, you can show off your tan in our 'summer' when you get back [:P][msncool]. sept/oct when you come back its bleak mid winter :( and christmas is just round the corner! dont think any schools are off may/june, might be wrong, i'm sure someone on here will know, enjoy

Another option is Price of flights, I have always found flights to be cheaper in September/October as the end of May in to June is a half-term here in the UK.

What ever month you decide on, I'm sure you and your family will have a wonderful time.

We have been those 2 weeks every time until last time when we went late August/September and I thought it was much quieter particularly when English schools went back at th beginning of September. We were given dream passes (fast passes to a load of rides on a lanyard) but it was so quiet we didn't actually use them. It was quite hot and humid but we took plenty of breaks and as it was so quiet we weren't waiting in hot queues for that long anywhere. We have had very hot weather going in May/June. The reason we went then is that we did half of the holiday in half term and half in term time. Now we go for 3 weeks [msnsmile2] hence August.

Last week in Sept and first week in October for me as the weather is much better and less risk of rain.

Mark.

We are going for the last two weeks in September :D

In answer to the original question the English schools have half term at the end of May / beginning of June however not as many will travel to the Us during this time as would at Easter / Christmas / Summer as it is only a one week break and exams tend to follow straight after this break.

In my area of Scotland the schools get 2 weeks holiday in October and I know many people go to Florida at this time. It is also our favourite time to go. I can also say that the flights (certainly from Scotland) are not cheap in October.

my thoughts exactly Andy & Arlene, i too am in scotland and the flights are much cheaper [msnoo] may / june from scotland as we don't have two weeks school hols at that time. we have been early oct and found the parks very busy at that time because of school hols.

We flew out on 24th Oct & the plane was packed, loads of children, but I prefer this time than May/June as it is lovely here and cold at home[msnsmile2] don't mind being at home when it's warm

My vote is last week in May/first week in June, should be gorgeous that time of year!
Christine

May or October for me.

HI

I love May so I would vote for last week in May and first week in June - and best of all you would be going to Florida sooner!!!![msncool]

Have a lovely holiday.

Cindy

I think that you cna't beat October. September is OK, but it can be a bit clammy. I would definately vote for October. Second choice would be May.

Andrena

anytime at all currently, sick of the white stuff over here now..
