Did you go recently? October has become pretty insane at Disney World. That was the month we use to go all the time in the 90's because it was usually slower than average and the weather was always decent. But that was also before the Halloween Party was an almost daily thing, and use to just be literally on Halloween night.

I like the 2nd or 3rd week of November now. The Christmas stuff is going on, but most people are waiting for either Thanksgiving week or December to go. Last time I went was Nov. 2019, and nothing was more than a 45 minute wait except Flight of the Passage.

That said, I have some family members who don't like going in November because it's "too cold." Which I disagree with. First of all it's warmer than Mass. is every day that time of year. It's usually still upper 70's to mid 80's during the day. Mornings can be in the upper 50's, and nights can be in the upper 60's, but who cares? That's perfect theme park weather if you ask me. And if you want to go for a night swim, every single pool is heated.

Two more tips....

DO NOT go the first week of November. It's Jersey Week and absolutely packed. Plus the Halloween decorations are down, and the Christmas decorations aren't up yet.

Another good low crowd time to go is the 1st-3rd week of September. A lot of people don't want to pull their kids from school that early in the year. I'm hesitant to go those dates though, because it's still hot, humid, and rainy and it's peak hurricane season.

If you want to do Disney World right (and who would want to do it wrong with the price these days), it's about a year to a year and a half of planning and organizing. So I'm not one to risk going in hurricane season, even if the crowd level is at the lowest point of the entire year. I've been going to DW for 31 years, and it's a tight schedule to attempt to do everything you want during a one week trip. Losing out 1-2 days because of a storm can mean a lot of missed stuff.
