Halloween or Christmas

We are looking at going back to Orlando in 2012 and have a question.

We always go late November until the middle of December but are being drawn towards a Halloween deployment instead.

Anybody got any ideas to help us decide. We love the Christmas idea at WDW but the weather could be better.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you've already seen Disney with the Christmas deccie's up then why not try Halloween.

We're just back from our 3rd trip at this time of year - ok we had unseasonably high temps but then the other trips we've made in Oct we've had great weather.

Then you can do MNSSHP and HHN- both of which we did for the first time this year - they were fab and I would recommend! SW also do a Trick or Treat event too.

Go on you know you want to!

I have never been at Christmas so can't compare but Halloween is a great time to go. MK looks wonderful and the whole atmosphere in the area is brilliant, go to Celebration and join in their activities too. The whole thing is so much nicer than at home.

The temps were exceptionally high this year but we have been 5 times in October and it has always been nice, definitely shorts weather!

We are going next year at the end of October/beginning November - we can then do both!

We love Christmas but fancied trying Halloween so this seemed a good compromise

We have been lucky enough to do both. I prefer Halloween as the weather is better and the decs are lovley. It is also a lot less crowded and cheaper!

We love Celebration at Christmas. What do they do for Halloween?

Why not try to make the holiday cover both and go very end of October into November and hopefully you'll get both providing Disney put up their Xmas decorations and start parades as early as everyone says they do.

We saw illuminated signs at Celebration for Ghost walks/trail or something similar (sorry I can't remember the exact wording!). Hopefully someone can give you more indepth info on it.
