LOL, when we lived in Massachusetts we went to WDW in November and had a great time swimming, while the CM lifeguards sat in their winter jackets, shaking their heads as they watched the "crazy" northerners swimming in 70 degree weather. Now we live in a sub-tropical climate (the southern tip of Texas) and if we go in November, we're sitting there in our winter jackets also, and the New Englanders are loving the pool. We used to go to Maine every June and watch our feet turn blue when we stepped in the ocean.

Forgot to answer OP's question. We'd go in late January, early February. However, having been almost every month, I've found pros and cons to every time. My second favorite time is October, the F&W, but now that they're starting to have food booths at the F&G, that may become a favorite.

In a perfect world with your parameters, I agree with j2k ... Every single day ... never leave !!

November is our first choice, once the Christmas decorations are up. Second choice is in the spring, usually mid to late April. Spring Break is over, but school's not close to being out yet. We've been in October before when it was in the 90's every day, which was awful. We do often go in September, though, just because it works out better.

One thing we've never concerned ourselves with is taking the kids out of school. And what I mean is that we have no problems taking them out of school to go on vacation, especially when they're young. I mean, we have had people tell us that they would never take their 4th grader out for a week to go on vacation, and we're like, "What in the world is that kid going to miss in 4th grade that is going to set them back academically or developmentally?" I mean, as they get older (high school), it can be a bit tougher as they are in AP classes or have exams and projects. I get that. But when they are in elementary or middle school? So what? They can make up the worksheets, or take them with you and do it in the car on the ride down and back. If you let the teachers know ahead of time, they'll often work with you, and sometimes give them assignments pertaining to the trip, even to Disney!
