First a little backstory:
My husband and I took our daughter to DL in Oct 2008 for her birthday for what we thought was going to be a one-time thing . Turns out, the three of us were hooked and have been going back in the fall every 2 years since. We are from Alberta, Canada, and usually to head DL as it’s closer for us, but in Sept / Oct 2012 we took a 2 week WDW trip where we stayed at Port Orleans resort and loved it! We love the Halloween Time offerings at the parks, and we have also been able to enjoy some Christmas offerings on one of our trips to DL during 2nd week in Nov.
We had decided a few years ago to skip the Fall 2020 DL trip (good call seeing as how this year went!) and plan a big trip to WDW in Fall 2021. She turns 21 on Oct 10th and would be able to “drink around the world in Epcot”, which most likely would be one drink for her lol as she does not drink much. I realized during initially looking at dates that it will be the 50th Anniversary on Oct 1st, 2021. We were originally looking at Oct 9-23rd but we are pretty flexible and could also go Oct 30- Nov 13th, or even Nov 6 – 20th. To our dismay, Port Orleans is not open but it looks like Caribbean Beach might be a great fit for us, and the price is fairly close for all of those dates.
There are pros and cons for all of the dates between weather, crowds, etc, which makes it difficult for us to choose. So I am asking you all for your opinions or advice- which dates would you pick, and why? TIA for your response!
