First time poster. We are in the early stages of planning for a trip to WDW mid-late October 2018 from Australia.
I’ve looked at the 2016 historical crowds and the projected 2017 crowds. The weather seems to be less rainy than September and slightly less hot, so it seems to tick all the boxes.
Just wondering if there was anything I missed? We will probably be at WDW for 9 nights. I’m avoiding anytime after November 4th due to daylight savings changes.
So much to learn but I’m glad I found Touringplans.com. What a great help it’s been.
We’re from cairns and making our first trip this Christmas.
The main thing that pops into my mind that you might need to consider would be the effect the Halloween party might have on your plans. I’m still figuring it all out too.The people here are lovely and super helpful, and will probably know a bunch of other things to think about too.
From Adelaide here, we went April/May and the weather was perfect (only 1 day with a shower). It’s similar weather and crowding (from what I understand) to the time you are thinking of going Pete.
If you guys have any specific questions from an Aussie point of view, feel free to ask or hit me up in a PM
As already stated, just be sure to keep Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in mind when making your plans as only those with party tickets will be allowed to stay in the Magic Kingdom past 7 PM on party nights. As @shanneepantslovesdisney stated, I would definitely consider attending one of the Halloween parties if your family enjoys Halloween. Do some reading up on it for sure and how it works.
Welcome to the boards! If you have any questions, we’ll all be here to help the best that we can!
I would hurry and at least make a tentative reservation. You can always move it should you change your mind. But I’ve already been hearing of people not getting the resorts or weeks that they want due to availability.
