Crowds, weather, etc will be about the same. You might hit slighter higher crowds, especially at Epcot, in October as the F&WF will be started then. Also, you would run into Columbus Day weekend in October which is a holiday for some. But, in general, it would be about the same.

In general, hurricane season does start to wind down in mid-October, but hurricane season runs through the end of November so October is still smack in the middle of it, especially the dates that were mentioned. Actually, this year I'd be more worried about a storm hitting the OP's hometown than WDW given the general track of storms this year.

I have been in September and it was HOT and crazy-humid both times.
I've been in October twice and it was warm and comfortable.
I vote for October - with the bonus being the food and wine festival.

Oh I think that is tough. I would go for Oct as you run a better chance of cooler weather (but both will probably still be warm), but like everyone said crowds will probably be worse with the holiday.
I guess if it was me...I would have to pick Oct. I realize the crowds will be worse, but you have plenty of days and the F&W will be up and running. Either way you will have a great time!

I'm currently at WDW for our first family vacation and I have learned that September is not a good month for our family. As great as it is being here, the heat and humidity is too much for our kids. Our oldest actually got sick in the middle of the night due to the combo of heat and walking despite our efforts to keep things cool. So my vote would be October for you (though maybe December or Jan for us )
