I think you are confusing 3.5 with 1.5 years old.

I would say if you're going to Disney for the first time and bringing a kid less than 3 years old it can be a daunting task.
I am very much a planner and we'd already been twice with my oldest (when he was 5 and 7) so going the third time as a family was pretty much a breeze (even with an 18 month old).
The only problem we ran into was he ate a bunch of applesauce which caused an absolute blow out of a diaper while eating at Earl of Sandwich. I had to rush him to the bathroom right outside and deal with that. It was awful. He walked around for about 30 minutes in just a diaper because I just said frick it and tossed his clothes. We finally made our way to a store and got him some R2D2 outfit to wear. I'm sure we looked white trash as frick for those 30 minutes

You're also blinded by love for your kids. 
Sounds miserable to me.

1. I have never seen so many scooters with obese people on them. They hog up the lanes, busses, and lines for rides. It takes 5 damn minutes to lower and raise the draw bridge to load their fat asses on the bus. For every 1 person I saw who was actually disabled, I saw 10 obese people riding around. Side note: I saw tons of foreigners and 95% were normal size or slightly overweight
2. its your money and by all means spend as you may, but what’s with bringing babies and 1/2 year olds? I saw hundreds of women and men with strollers and month old babies strapped to their chests. It was 90 degrees and you’re on your feet all day spending a ton of money. Why bring a baby or infant? Curious of the rationale behind that.
The wife and I went a couple of years ago for New Year's, it was the exact same then as well.

I'd say the two weeks between then and Thanksgiving are good. The "slowest" time is mid-late January but you'll get a lot of Brazilian tour groups since it's their big vacation.

I love it for my kids, but I hate being around that many rude people. And there are some real assholes that go to Disney. I was amazed at teenage and early 20’s boys sitting on the bus and not getting up to let an older lady or mother with kids have the seat.

I've had great experiences going the week after Easter when Easter and spring break are not close. All the kids have the week before Easter off and are back to school the week after. Easter is a more religious holiday anyway and the parks aren't all decorated like they are for Christmas, so they're not drawing a lot of crowds for that. The spring breakers are taken care of because it just isn't spring break time at Easter some years. The weather might even be considered comfortable at Easter.
I've been on major rides late in the afternoon on Easter Sunday and got to the unloading station at the end and the cast members let anyone who wanted to go again just stay in their car because there was nobody in line to get on the ride.

Yeah my wife is the planner for us. She's had her gameplan set for months now and were not going until next May
She enjoys planning tho so I just let her do her thing. It does make it easy for everyone. quote:

How many fake service dogs, with fat people being the owner?
Every service dog i have seen, has a fat broad behind the leash.

We generally go every two years and I love Earl of Sandwich so we'll keep going there. For the rest of his life I'll embarrass him with that story. Every time we go. Even when he gets married, has kids, and goes with us.

We went middle of September and it was perfect. Right before the Halloween and food and wine stuff and right after summer vacations are done.

I can think of a few Brazilians that I would allow to invade my personal space.

My wife was ready to scrap then as well... We waited for the Electrical Street parade for at least an hour, when the parade started, a Brazilian family jumped in front of our kids...
My wife's head almost exploded... She started screaming at them about us waiting an hour and to get the frick out...
Needless to say, they left...
