When to visit?

[Twiglet]

What's a good time to visit, when its still warm enough for parks, but not so many queues for things?

Trying to tee up dates with family in UK, as our school holidays in Australia run like this:

Summer Holidays mid-December thru end of January, then two weeks in April, two weeks end of July and two weeks September. Our UK family would have school holidays at differing times, in line with the northern and southern hemisphere summers!

So what would end of Jan/early Feb be like in Florida, or maybe September?

End of Jan early Feb Uk children would be in school, are you trying to avoid school hols or tie them up?[msnwink] September Uk children would also be in school apart from possibly the first week too.

I was planning on taking kids to England for Xmas, show them a 'proper' christmas in Blighty, and then we are all going to Florida for the reunion. OR maybe go home for English summer and then to Orlando! Either way my kids are going to be out of school for a few weeks, and their english cousins will probably have to sacrifice a few days out of their term time too.

Oh and avoiding queues would be great [msntongue]

Sounds like a good idea to do christmas here and then fly out to Florida in January.....still would mean uk children would lose some time from school (don't think they would mind tooo much)[msnwink]

i think for a reunion as big as this is going to be it wont matter as much about the children being out of school for a short while, this is an important get together as your meeting up from different countires, never going to get the same holidays!

i think christmas would be nicer for all to be with family at such a lovely time of year, why not do christmas in florida and have a bit of a winter in the UK first,

September is generally a quieter time to go to Florida and is still lovely and warm. Early February is also a less hectic time to go and usually warm, we went the last week of February this year and had a great time.[msnsmile2]

Having now tried most months, we love going in late April/early May and late Sept/early Oct.
Temperatures are usually in mid - eighties and humidity is great. Most schools are in term time
so the parks are not too busy.

We always take September for our main holidays. Definitely less queues and the climate is usually just right, plenty of sunshine but not too humid.

Definately September.
Was out last sept and will be back this sept.
Very few queues and temperature is very nice and humidity dropping. No need for pool heating either.
