I guess next time I will tell the family we are leaving on x day but then when we get to the bus stop say "ah ha!...we are staying three more days!!!"
I mean it... this is why we add a day or two at the beach to our Disney trips. Leaving WDW is sad, but then we're at the beach for a day or two, which is fun and relaxing in a different way, but not as awesome as a Disney trip, and it kind of buffers the bummer zone a bit.boilerbabe wrote:wewantsdaredhead wrote:BBabe: I am 43 and I don't cry at much but I come close when we are out there waiting (like you) at the DME sign.

That is what bdude and I always say...we don't know exactly when we'll be back! So, I have no choice but to have the "sad bus face".

Well, I suppose that would be a nice surprise. It might backfire the next time though...
Well it just depends on what you would consider a good trip. If you want to avoid crowds, January, February, and September are best. If you love holiday celebrations but hate crowds, then go in the weeks before Thanksgiving. Most of the refurbishments occur in the down months. The weather is cool in January and February, and it's super hot and humid in the summer, rains every afternoon.Club33Hopeful wrote:My wife finally gave in and said we could go to WDW! So, being a Californian that knows little about WDW, when is the best time to visit?
11 days until I take a Venturing Crew to Disneyland!

Oh we have so much to tell you, and teach you about planning to go to WDW! I understand that it's much different than Disney Land.
I can't believe you had to talk your wife into a WDW trip?! I suppose if you live in California that might take some convincing to travel across the country though...Club33Hopeful wrote:I've only been to WDW twice, both times in July, and both times by myself because I had other business in the area. Not so much fun weather wise. Started sprinkling when I was at Epcot and I chuckled as everyone ran for cover. Laugh was on me as I was thoroughly soaked inside of a minute. I was leaning toward next November. Isn't there a 1/2 marathon that time of year?
the holiday decorations are pretty, and the Osborne Lights are our absolute favorite part of the trip! And pretty much all of the attractions are up and running after having been down for refurbs during the slower months. I would not recommend any summer months if you can avoid it. The humidity is crazy then 
DH and I love to visit the week right after Thanksgiving, the weather is awesome (most times) and it's not crowded! WDW is in all of it's Christmas Glory!!! It's "Magical"!Club33Hopeful wrote:I've only been to WDW twice, both times in July, and both times by myself because I had other business in the area. Not so much fun weather wise.

How exciting!Northern California, near Sacramento. Im guessing he is part of SF Bay Area Council. Did he go to the Venturing Rendezvous at Wente on the last weekend of September?Amy wrote:And might I add, luckiest Venture Crew ever! What part of Cali are you from? My brother that lives out there is active with the B.S. and Venture crews. Both his kids have aged out of the program now, but he is as active as ever. They had a few problems this past weekend because they had a permit to hike Half Dome in Yosemite, but the government shut-down put the kibosch on that, so they headed to the Los Padres dam and hiked the Carmel River trail. Looked very pretty although not as beautiful as Half Dome. I just wonder if the two of you have ever crossed paths?
I sent him a message to see. He lives in Tracey ~ I hear a song...It's a Small World after all, it's a small world after all....Club33Hopeful wrote:Northern California, near Sacramento.

It is definitely a less crowded time of year, although with all the offers and promotions of reduced rooms and free dining, the "slow" times of year are seemingly becoming a thing of the past...laurie5658 wrote:...The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is THE best time to go due to lower crowd numbers. Actually the week right after Thanksgiving is superb!!!!!
