Re: Florida girls i need a little help........
November-February!
Except for the time around , thanksgiving,xmas and new year's and president's day, it's also the quietest time.
We like to go the 2nd week of january. Weather in the 70's, less rain than summer, and no more than a 5-10 minute wait on most rides (this is for disney, I don't know about universal, but i assume it's similar)

Re: Florida girls i need a little help........
I only have personal first hand experience for january
the only potential downside is that the aprks clsoe early, but if you have kids, that might be better, you only have to stay up until 7, not 9 for the fireworks, and you can get twice as much done in the shorter day in janaury than in the longer days in june. I will never EVER go during the summer again if I can help it. Blistering heat and hours on lines.
January rocks. you don't even need fastpass. I walked on to space mountain, and we were often allowed to stay on rides b/c there was no line. Don't go too close to New Year's, make sure that crowd has left (we went a little early once and the first few days were more crowded).
Bring layers though, because at night it can get cold. I don't know if you've ever seen my engagement pic from january 04, but it was one of the coldest winters florida has seen, and even though it was in the 60's and 70's during the day, it got VERY cold and night. we were in layers upon layers and ski jackets!

I just came back from Epcot... OHMYGOSH, it was HOT..... 90 degrees.  We thought it would have been cooler because it wasn't August, we were wrong.

OMG! Me too!!!!!! We were dying there a couple of days  In the past it wasn't that bad in May.
May is usually more comfortable then that. I like September also -- great for weather and light crowds.
The times I went in Dec & Jan, I found the swings in the temps frustrating - 30 in the morning and 65 in the afternoon.

Re: Florida girls i need a little help........
EPCOT is the ***** worst in the heat. No shade! We got through it with one of those crappy water fans and dumping water bottles over each other's heads every few minutes. And I had a parasol and I still FRIED
