Hi there!

My family has been looking at going November 17-22, 2019. Looking at the Crowd Calendar, this seems to be the busiest week in November, even busier than the week of Thanksgiving (11/28/2019). Is this correct? Thank you.

Hi,

My family are looking at visiting 9th April 2019 - 1st May 2019 I know easter break is in April however will it be just the week 20-27th April that will be busier?

Many thanks

Emma

I’m looking at worst times for Disney for 2019. Why is it that the second to last week in February (the 16th through the 24th) is brutal for crowds when all the other weeks of February are considered the best times to visit Disney with low crowds? Is there an external event going on or something?

Hi,

Planning on the 2nd week of Sepember of this year. Any idea if Halloween decorations will be up in any of the parks at this time? Thanks

Is October 28-Nov 2 2019 a good time to visit? I'm reading more and more that October is now extremely busy and wondering if we should instead go the week after Thanksgiving. Any thoughts?

Hello! My family is planning on going April 8 - April 12th. Ive looked at a lot of school districts and they seem to be Late March or the week in April before. We are in Augusta, GA and our spring break is dictated by the Master's tournament...any chance you think we will luck up and get a light/mod week? I know the Star Wars Marathon is the weekend before and expect a pretty high crowd on the 8th! Thank you!!

We are planning a trip for Jan 8-15th. That happens to fall during the marathon weekend. What would some of the draw backs be for visiting during these dates.

We have no option but to visit during school holidays and every one seems to fall within the very worst times to visit! Which uk school holiday is the best of the worst? I’m thinking Feb. Thanks ????

Looking to go end of September start of October 2019 when is best time pleas x

I have read most of the comments on this post but haven't seen one that addresses my question in particular. I am single and wondering if there is a best time for a singleton to visit the park, other than just finding a time when the crowds are slightly less intense?

We are thinking about attending the MNSSHP on Labor Day (9/03/2018). I can't find where there has been one actually on Labor Day in past years. What do you think the crowd level will be that night?

Perhaps the 2019 recommendations may be a bit tempered by the fact that Galaxy's Edge is slated to open in the Fall, no?

That's basically the reason why I want to bring my clan to WDW in 2019, although I'm thinking that perhaps late Jan. early Feb. 2020 may be better given Star Wars.

Your thoughts?

Hi! I know this is way in the future, but for the 50th anniversary, 2021, when do you expect would be the best time to go? I've got college kids to work around, so we wanted to start a rough outline in advance! I understand if it is far to early to even begin to think about! Thanks!

I'm Looking to go to Disney next May or April (2019)

What would be the best month to go?

Is gonna be rainy?

Hi, I have lots of questions but the most important besides less crowded months are the weather factor thats not too hot, cold or rainy and best hotels that have reasonable prices and amenities would you consider to be

We are planning on going to Disney World in July 2019 when is the best time to book hotels?

Looking to go to Disney next May (2019)

What are the best times during the month to go.

I have 2 young kids and don't want to spend the entirety waiting in busy lines.

Thank you!!

On some forums (like Trip Adviser, Reddit) I am being warned that "crowd calendars" are not very accurate anymore. I booked my trip yesterday basing it around all of the calender's projections (which are pretty close to each other). But I wanted to find out IF my chosen dates give me a good chance to have "lighter" crowds. I booked for Dec 8th through the 14th 2018. All of our park days will be during the week. I had a slightly better offer if I would've booked a week later running my family up to the 21st. But felt like that week leading into the XMAS insanity might be heavier. My wife is a bit annoyed with me after she read some comments that said "they wont be much different". Due to spending a bit more money. Any thoughts on this? Did I make a better choice of dates?

I need some help please. I would like to take my family back to Disney but our last summer trip we spent way too much time in lines and the crowd was a bit much. I was wanting to take the kids the 1st week in April and thought it would possibly be less crowded since Easter is at the end of April, but according to all I've read it looks like Feb 26th is the closest time where the crowd is the lowest. Any suggestions???

I am beginning to plan a Disney vacation for 2021 far away I know but I was thinking of end of January beginning of February as my daughter's b-day is February 1st from past experience should this be okay

My daughter and granddaughter are coming from Australia and I will be taking them to Disney on 18 to 22nd December, will it be ‘manic’ or do-able?

Hey there! I'm a Disney veteran but this is my first time planning a trip with my daughter! We want to go before she turns 3 but are between 2 weeks in 2019 - either 2/3-2/7 or 9/8-9/12. I am wondering what your recommendation would be to get the lowest crowds but most importantly the best room rates! We want to stay in a family suite in all-star music, it looks like February will be slightly cheaper than September unless they are offering special deals in September? I'm just not sure which would be best!!!

We are visiting Disneyworld for the first time 12th to 19th May can you let me know what to expect in terms of crowds? Thanks!

Hey there! Awesome site, super informative. My partner’s birthday is June 26th which falls during the week. Would is be absolutely horrible for me to plan a tirp durin that week?

Apologies I meant to include the year 2019 in my last post

We were planning on visiting from Ireland April 12-26 during my sons easter holidays. From reading your article is that an insane time to go? I also noticed you recommended the second half of August, is that not very hot? Thanks a lot in advance!

We are planning to go Jan 6- Jan 13, 2019 I know the Disney marathon and the college cheer leading competitions are that week Do we still plan our trip (my mom is in a wheelchair so crowds are not friendly sometimes) or try a different month?? Please Help :)

Hi Leap! Great site you have here! Just what I was looking for!

We are looking at going to WDW in January 2019 and I know we have to be strategic to avoid the crowds with the marathon, MLK Jr. day, and the Pro-Bowl.

With that said, I’m wondering why Jan. 9-13 (2019 WDW Marathon) and the time around the Pro-Bowl (Jan 27th) are not on the “worst time to visit WDW?” Unless I am reading things wrong? Thank you for your feedback!

Kind Regards,

Melanie

Just read your article, now I'm worried I picked a bad time to go. This my family's first time going and we're going July 17-24, it's kinda too late to change, any suggestions for me? My family consists of 2 adults and 2 teenagers??

Going May 24-30. We realize it's not the most ideal time as far as the crowds, but sure appreciate finding the Crowd Calendar.

Hi, we are coming over from Australia, looking at May 2019. Is there any dance/cheerleading comps on then as i cant find that information for over here. Thanks

We're planning on visiting Disneyworld during the week of November 3rd, 2018 and November 10th, 2018. We'll be there with all of our kids and grandkids, 19 total (two under age 2). Are there group rates available for Disney tickets, and, if so, is it a bigger discount than those that you show on your site?

Hi there, there is a week that my kids have off towards the end of September. We would love to travel during those times, but were now worried about the hurricane season, should we be?

This is very true. I went to magic kingdom with my family on March 9th and it was HORRIBLY CROWDED!

I am bringing 3 first timers to disney world this year. In terms of smaller crowds per the guidelines in your article, would you recommend week days in September or the week after Thanksgiving?

We will be heading to Disney in May as well however we will be there the 11-18th. I see you have that Saturday as high crowds but not Sunday which is Mother’s Day. I am surprised due to the holiday that that day is not as busy? Don’t all Mothers enjoy the happiest place on earth?? :)

Hi 'Ribbit'

We have booked to be in the orlando area for the first week of May this year, is this a good time to visit, as it seems to fall in-between most of the holidays :)

we are planning a trip to Disney. would you know what week is decorated for Halloween and xmas?

Hi! I have a quick question on dates. We are wanting to go to Disney World during our spring break (Texas) March 12-16. Would these dates be a horrible time to go? We usually go in September but with our oldest being in junior high now the absenteeism is a little more harsh.....

Hi! We are planning to visit 2/26/2018-3/04/2018. I see this is a decent time to visit but upon trying to book a Disney resort, every room was reserved!

Only the expensive resorts were open, like $800-$3000 per night rates. Is something going on that week?

Have you experienced the runDisney race weekends? I assume they will be heavily crowded. I will be there April 19th to April 24th in for the Star Wars Marathon Weekend! Thank you for having this useful guide up! Makes it easier to plan vacations!

Hi, we are planning a family WDW trip in 2019. I’m looking at early March, or in April (perhaps over Easter) . I see you predict early March is a good time to visit, but not April even though you set these dates as yellow for busy times. Can you give me a little more info on why that is?

Thank you!!!

planning on the week after Columbus day of 2018. Is that week better than the actual week of Columbus Day.

We are looking to take our second WDW trip in February 2019, as this looks to be a good time based on crowds, to go. Are there any dates that we should look to avoid? We are flexible on our plans

We are looking to go to WDW in September. I am only hesitant because I don't want the weather to ruin the trip. when it rains do many of the attractions close?

Hey I want to come February 23 to 26 why is that a bad time :(

Planning on visiting WDW from Feb 27th - March 5th. I can see its mentioned as a good time to visit. Is it from crowd point of view as well as the weather?

we're really torn between a trip to WDW in Nov 18' or Dec' We want to experience Christmas, Disney style. We're planning on a 8 day hopper ticket plus at least one day at Universal. We're retired and bringing our nine year old granddaughter. any helpful suggestions? Thank you.

Hi there. We are AP's who live in Florida (about an hour from DW). We usually go to DW between Thanksgiving and Christmas and crowds have been manageable. We decided to try Jan 22-24,2018 since it was in the green and listed as one of the best times to go. Not sure what happened this year, but in our 30 years of going to DW, this week was the most crowded I've ever seen (we don't go in summer - too hot and crowded). This may need to be reevaluated as a good time to come. In talking to people who came this week, most are from another country and came because it was listed as one of the best. I'm gonna have to rate this trip on the low end of the scale due to the crowds.

Hi! We are planning a trip Feb 5-8, but the crowd calendar recommends Animal Kingdom on the 8th only. Is there a reason why? I am hoping that the crowds will be low enough that it will not make a huge difference regardless.

Thanks!
