WDW in September - For & Against?

[MystikPiglit]

I've been a few times in September and I really enjoyed it, but DH is rather put off by the possibility of too much rain.
Does anyone here visit regularly in September? What are your thoughts?
Thanks. :)

[Skywatcher]

Main advantage - its much closer than the other time you are planning :D

That alone would be enough for me :D

:lol: It surely is for me too!! :D
But it's DH's cash I need so I am tempting him with talk of bargains. ;)

We enjoyed it... we caught MNSSHP which was great, free dining sometimes :D and I don't remember the rain being too bad

I say go for it :yes:

Thanks. :D Ooh, I hadn't thought about MNSSHP. Are they roughly the same dates each year?
Runs off to look as that would seal the deal....:smiley4:

[Slowhand]

This year [like many others] we are going in September.
I can`t honestly recall experiencing too much in the way of rain in all the times we`ve been and it certainly wouldn`t put me off going at this time of the year.

[MystikPiglit]

Thank you, just the information I need. :D

[Figment]

We've been twice in September and never seen a single drop of rain. The love bugs can be pretty bad though. ;)

[Slowhand]

The love bugs can be pretty bad though. ;)
But at least they die with a huge smile on their faces when you swat `em! :lol:

The words 'love' and 'bug' should never be together as far as I'm concerned. :lol:

I've been a few times in September. It can rain yes. It can rain lots. But sometimes it doesn't rain. I think my average September day was hot and humid in the morning. About 2pm a storm broke overhead and dumped collosal amounts of water. By 3pm it had stopped and half the crowds had gone home leaving the parks almost empty.

Crowds are lower because the kids are all in theory back at school. It is hurricane season still though.

If it wasn't for the school term thing I would go in September. And bring a poncho. :D

Yep, that what it was like when I went. :)

Grrr...I hate poncho wearers..... they make the seats wet.... :mad:

[piglet]

I love September, the last couple of weeks are great. By then there's not quite so much humidity, hardly any rain, MNSSHP, fewer crowds as schools here have gone back.

Thanks, sounds like a winner. :D

[Dawn]

First Monday in Sept is Labor Day so avoid that weekend.

Thanks for the tip. :)

[Johnie]

We go frequently in Aug and Sept. Crowds are light. Free dining has been offered the last several years. It IS hot and humid. It frequently rains in the late afternoon. We usually book a late lunch/early dinner and manage to miss it. MNSSHP is on in Sept. We LOVE that one. It is so much fun. The love bugs can be annoying but they don't bite or anything.

I am loving Septembre also, the weather I think is very pleasant and the parks are also verynice. I think you should be booking this immmediatelynow before I am thinking the big secret is revealed. hesitate at your peril

[MystikPiglit]

You are a very strange man...... :rolleyes008:

I need to wait for the VA flights to come out for next September. Is there an easy way to work out 336 days? :confused:

[Tink]

Well. September is a good idea, but if you can push it to later than earlier. :yes: All the schools will be back in session, and you will be able to do MNSSHP as well as the FWF. :yes: Don't know if that will coincide with free DDP though.

The hurricane season is more problematic than the "usual" weather actually. If one blows in, you're running a real risk of having your holiday interfered with. I'd not go over the top worrying about it, just something to consider.

Sometimes the lovebugs (as this year) are barely noticeable. They are very light this year. :yes:

I've been there in 3 hurricane times, including Andrew. It was inconvenient, but luckily it didn't spoil the holidays.

[Tink]

Good. You have expereince then. :yes: If the park were closed a day (or maybe two, but that's really unlikely) it wouldn't spoil your holiday, no? You could just use the 'cane day as a rest day. :yes: :D

Yep. We're happy just pottering about. :D And Pete is far, far away from work phone calls. :rolleyes008:

[Tink]

That's what matters. :yes:

Well then, the pre-anniversary trip is looking likely. :D

So when do you then plan to come for the anniversary trip? :D :D

[MystikPiglit]

:lol: That would depend on winning the lottery. :lol:

Our next big trip would be 2012 when we both have big birthdays. DH will be 40 and I will be.... well, much older.:lol:

[Tink]

Older is the way it is supposed to be. :yes: Men mature at such a slower rate, and their physical prowess does not extent into the later years with much guarantee, so older/younger combinations work the best. :D :D :wink:

(Sorry, couldn't resist)! :sorry:

You are breaking my heart with your cruel sayings, the only way you can improve me is to BOOK THE HOLIDAY already

Oh really...

In my country we call Dawn the gathering storm. maaaaany legends are spoken of a lay-dy who leeves destruction in her wayke in the search for small plastic boxes of tat. Sometime mother nature she fights back and maybe injures a shoulder or something, but Dawn continues relentless leaving theme parks and usually realiable rides and attractions temporarily closed in her wake.

So true. :lol:

Update tomorrow. :p015:

You're not a real doctor are you?

[Johnie]

No but he does play one on tv
