| When is the Best time to go to Walt
Disney World®? |
| |
| Answer: Anytime! |
| |
We get asked that question all the time. And really the answer
is different depending on your individual taste and needs. What
kind of weather do you like, any special events or occasions that
you
are interested in....? So it's really up to you.
Here are a few things to consider: |
| |
|
| |
| Crowds |
The Lowest Attendance:
* January (except New Year's Day) until just prior to Presidents'
Week in February
* The week following Labor Day until the week prior to Thanksgiving
* The week following Thanksgiving until mid-December
More Moderate Attendance:
* After Presidents' week in February
through early March
* Late April through early June (except Memorial Day weekend)
* Columbus Day Weekend (October)
* The first part of Thanksgiving week
Highest Attendance:
* Presidents' week in February
* Mid March through Late April ("Spring Break")
* Memorial Day weekend
* Mid June through Labor Day
* Thanksgiving Day and weekend
* Christmas week through New Year's Day
During regular attendance periods, the parks tend to be
the busiest on the following days:
* Magic Kingdom® Park: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday
* Epcot®: Tuesday and Friday
* Disney-MGM Studios: Sunday and Wednesday
* Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Note: this is as reported by Disney, and hasn't change over
the past few years. Disney brought back a new early entry program
call Extra Magic Hour. Expect
the parks that are scheduled to open early to
also be crowded, people seen to plan to go to that park even
if they
don't get
there early.

| Disney Resort Seasons |
| |
|
| Disney has four "seasons" at its Walt
Disney World® Resort hotels each year. Value
Season is the least expensive and least
crowded time, followed by Regular
Season,
Peak Season and Holiday
Season. These seasons can really affect
the cost of your Walt Disney World® Vacation.
Doing some advanced planning and adjusting your dates can really
affect your overall
vacation cost. These seasons are also an indication of what the
crowds will be like during your stay. |
For the most part the season at the Walt
Disney World® Resort are:
- Value Season: January 1 - February 12;
August 24 - October 1; November 2 - December 19
These are usually the least crowded
periods, but the parks may operate on reduced hours.
- Regular Season: April 27 - August 23; October
2 - November 1
Moderate crowds can be expected, parks are usually opened
extended hours during the summer.
- Peak Season: February 13 - April 26
This is Spring Break, and can be very crowded
at times.
- Holiday Season: December 20 - 31
The Parks are the most crowded, and the Magic
Kingdom® may
possible closed due to capacity crowds during this time.
Special hours and event are schedule during this time.

| Weather |
| |
When Walt Disney was looking for a location to build his new
"World", he wanted a location where visitors could come year
around. He found a perfect spot in the middle of the Sunshine
State, Florida.
The Weather can really affect your vacation. So it's best
to try a plan a head and see what type of weather you may experience.

Disney World® go to our Weather page. |
