Generally for anywhere in south florida, the least expensive time to go
is in the Summer. Then again while lodging may be less costly, the
Summer is the time when most US schools are out. It's family vacation
time at the theme parks. This translates into long lines. Comb the
internet for value packages that include discount admission to the theme
parks.

Florida residents get a discount at Disney in , February, May and November,
IIRC - so that would be a clue as to when low visitation is. Early June,
before the mass migration of vacation, is also good, as is early December
before 'high season' prices take over. There are discount hotel rooms
everywhere - try www.flausa.com . There are lots of things to do in Orlando
& Kissimmee besides the Mouse, so look around.

Summer is not the least expensive time in Orlando as the kids are
out of school and they theme parks are busy. Probably the cheapest is
October or May. This is an estimate on my part as I am a resident - however
October and May are a lot less busy. The weather is usually cooler and less
humid too - at least in the beginning of May and after the middle of
October. I usually go to one of the parks in the middle or end of October
because the weather is nice and the crowds are low.

That depends on what you mean by "best."

If you want to avoid the hot weather and heavy crowds at the theme parks,
go in October, November, late April, March, or early May. Avoid any
national holidays such as Easter or President's Day.

January actually I believe.

Yeah, you've hit it. Problem with Jan. often is they close rides
for maintainance. One can hit a "cold" snap too. (Challenger froze
on the pad in January). The "best" time in terms of weather is often
before Thanksgiving. Sorta between about the 1st of October and
just before Thanksgiving. Weather's nice and the crowds are relatively
light. Flip side is many of the "fall rates" have started, although
there will still be "specials" on those rates. There's a disney newsgroup
which can answer these questions better. Furthermore, there's more than
one website about visiting Disney. Google can be your friend.

Try visiting rec.arts.disney.park.parks for all the information you would ever need regarding disney.

A couple of years ago we went the week before Xmas and even though it was a
little cool and somewhat drizzley, we didn't have to wait in line for
ANYTHING. It was wonderful and much better than sweating our butts off in
the summer heat and humidity.
