I would also personally avoid Disney at that time. The crowds are extremely high. We went a few years back and waited for 3 hours to check into our room at the Contemporary Resort. The lobby was literally body-to-body. I do not remember much rain, so the weather was probably okay, although I do remember it got somewhat chilly in the evenings – a light jacket would suffice. Touring the parks then is really tough. We always stay on site; in fact, we are members of the Disney Vacation Club, so we stay at our “home” resort now. But it seems to be a good idea when both the parks and the roads are a mob scene; it would undoubtedly be a time-saver. I feel it is more crowded at that time than in the summer months – and we’ve been there in mid-July -

There are usually no great airfares at this time, either. We traveled via Amtrak on a 2-for-1-deal. The trip south was okay; the trip back home was horrendous and unbearably slow. I can’t see myself doing that again, but it was an adventure.

We have visited WDW in every season. In fact, we are heading there next month. May is my personal favorite – no real crowds (except for the Memorial Day holiday) and the weather is usually pretty nice. The spring breakers have headed home and many schools are still in session. And we have visited in early December when the weather has been fabulous – mid-70’s and sunny. Last February it was too cold for swimming (the pools are heated, but you can't prove that by me), but it was okay for the hot tubs - and a mad rush for your towel. For everything else, it was perfect - low humidity, low crowds and sunshine.
