I can help on a couple of things. We normally visit Florida in Nov/Dec and think the weather is perfect, as at any-time during the year you can expect the odd bad day. When we went last year with my Son and family (although in October/November that year) he dropped us off at the Mall of Millenia, when we wanted to leave there was a cab outside but he could have just dropped someone off. As for the parks again in October/November they were reasonable, no long waits at all (especially if you use Fast Pass) except for the kiddie rides which sometimes were bad.
