You posted months ago, but I'll chime in on past Jan / Feb travels. We have gone over MLK weekend, it can be busy, but with planning, things always worked out for us. My son has gone swimming every year in January. Can it be chilly, yes. Do we wear layers in the morning, yes. We've been lucky, no super cold days and only occasional rain. February - much warmer than January. We went President's Day weekend, I swore never again. Mardi Gras was happening and half the state of Louisiana was in Orlando! We still had a great time, but everything was busier.We are a family of four. Which dates would be better Sept 12, 2021 (staying 5 days) or sometime in January or February? Crowds, weather, and availability are our concerns.
Crowds and availability should be a bit better in September (especially those first couple of weeks after Labor day). But the weather can be very fickle at this time. Heat and humidity will most likely be high, which make for good swimming weather if that is important, but you also have to keep in mind that this is hurricane season. If you plan a September trip, you need to keep the hurricane factor in the back of your mind.We are a family of four.

Book through Disney, they are really good about moving your trip because of weather events.I hope you don’t mind me adding to the conversation. I am thinking of coming September 2021 as well, but didn’t even think about hurricane season. I suppose we should get insurance for the trip? Does that even cover a hurricane? How bad is Disney in the rain?
