    I think that would be hard to beat.

    I would echo davewasbaloo in suggesting November -- it's sort of a lull before the Christmas rush, and it's typically much much cooler in Florida during that season.

    We expereienced similar crowds and good weather going in early February as well. After having gone to DL for the first time this past February, I thought attendance was similar to that of WDW that time of year.

    I think late November, or anytime they has Merry Chrimbo stuff up would be great, too.
