One question that might have come up…”what is everybody’s favorite season to visit WDW?”
I really recommend Christmas…in early December and not near the holiday. I’ve gone to WDW in every season and really recommend this time. The weather is excellent (typically 70s with lows in the upper 40s/50s). Disney goes all out with the Christmas light display in the Studios. EPCOT has the nightly Processional with an EXCELLENT Christmas choir and celebrity narrator. It’s just a great atmosphere and the crowds are still very small and the ride waits are short.
I also enjoy the Food & Wine Festival in EPCOT in Sept-Nov. It’s pricey, but EPCOT has so much more to see when this event is going on. World Showcase “expands” to accompany about several more “mini-countries” and some of their foods/wines/ traditions. Crowds again are typically minimal at this time and the weather is starting to cool off by October.
One drawback with off-peak season visits is that a ride on occasion may be closed for maintenance.

I have not done WDW then but have done Disneyland in mid to late December. It was very nice although crowded by the time we went the week before Christmas.
