Hi, we are going to disney world for 2 weeks 3rd Dec - 17th Dec 2020, what do you think to crowds will be like. We are staying a Pop Century too. Travelling with a 2 year old and 10 month old from the UK. Any advice...

Hi! We’re thinking about planning a trip to Disney World in October of 2021. Do you think the crowd level will be high with the 50th anniversary?

Hey,

Firstly great website.

Thinking of taking our two kids to either Disneyland and have the option of visiting either Orlando or LA.

Looking at four days max for just the main Disney park and universal studio in whichever location we choose. Dates are from 22nd March to 2nd April. Both Orlando and LA seem super busy during this time. Is it spring break? Would you choose one over the other at that time of year or will both be a nightmare? Thanks.

Hi! Im looking to take my honeymoon to disney November 1-7/8! is this a good time to go, will it be overly busy? Also can you explain how the fast pass works please thank you

We are going 2nd week sin Oct 2021. I hear Disney parks are not crowded middle of the week which id great. Will Magic Kingdom be crowded for Disney's 50th anniversary Tues.-Thurs? And his just Magic Kingdom having the 5oth ceabration or all 4 Disney parks?

I'm looking at planning a Disney World (we may hit Harry Potter world as well) vacation in 2021...either in early May or September/October. Any suggestions? I'd like to go when crowds are as light as possible. Two adults...thanks!!

The Disney App was very useful in my weeklong WDW trip. We went during for the 2020 NY Holiday. It was announced that Disney in Orlando hit its peak with 6-7 million people attending the parks on a single day, which I still have a hard time believing!

The Fast-Pass, which is free currently, can enable you to get on a few rides because the wait times on several of the rides all around WDW parks can reach 210 mins! We waited 3+ hours for Avatar because I didn’t download the Disney App Fast Pass. A whole family can be synced to one App.

Another word: line etiquette is important if you go on a severely busy day. We watched conflict and confrontation due to whole families cutting to the front of a 120 min line because they had someone holding their place in line. It’s unfair. Enroll in a fast pass the night before if you don’t wish to wait.

Hello!

Family is planning on going April 26-May 2. Think this is a good time? Heard there is a cheer competition at the time and we tried to book another room at our resort for a friend but they are all sold out! Think it will be too crowded?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Is the weather better in middle sept -13-18 or will october be better dont care about rides taking my handicap son to wdw to see it

Hello. I was going to plan a trip the last full week of March. Do you think crowds will be high around this time? How will ride wait times be?

Hello there.

We will be coming to visit from the UK for the second time on 10th February 2021 for 2 weeks we really can't wait. We have the option of visiting 12 of the Orlando parks plus Busch gardens over the 2 weeks. Any advice on what parks to avoid on any days would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards

Vicki

What is the Average temperature in May?

Just wondering how busy Disney will be May11-15. We have a 5 day hopper pass.

hello, planning a trip this year on Nov 16-20 week before Thanksgiving. will the crowds be pretty manageable then? Thanks!

Why is Jan. 18-20 2021 so bad?

Hi,

We are last minute booking to go to Disney April 22nd. Will the crowds still be really high or have gone down since it's the last half of April. Also, how do you think the weather will be?

Thanks!

Patty

We are looking at the week of January 3, 2021, why exactly would 1/3 and 1/4 be bad days but 1/5 is considered a good day, in other words, what event is going on that weekend? Thanks! ????

Dear Robin,

We are thinking of visiting Disney World either around April 11-17, or Feb 14-20, 2021. Can you tell us which would be a better choice? I know they might both be bad. Thank you.

Hi!

I am a Disney vet - have been many times throughout my childhood and even in the recent years (I am 27) - I still love to go! I will be visiting Disney for 5 days (May 16th-May 20th of 2020) staying at the Disney All-Star Resort. We are doing 4 days at Disney Parks at 1 day at Universal. We were originally supposed to be there this week (Feb 1st-5th) but I came down with the flu. I know the crowds would have been good at this time.

I have never to been to Disney in the May timeframe I moved my trip to. I did look at the crowd calendar and while it was helpful, I am curious about what you think the crowds will be like during this Saturday May 16th-Wednesday May 20th visit? It is RIGHT before Memorial Day Weekend, but I am wondering if the beginning of the MDW crowds will impact that week, or if we will get lucky and it won't get busy until around that Friday of MDW, when we will have left on Wednesday? How comparable will it be to the February dates I originally was supposed to go?

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks for your help!

Hi! Planning a family trip for early 2021. If you had to choose between January 8th - 16th (split between WDW and UO/IOA) or mid May, what's our best bet crowd and weather wise? Thanks!!

Hi there! We are looking at Disney World dates for 2021. We were thinking roughly around April 12-17, but I had a clarification question. When we looked at your website, it said that the second half of April is among the very best times to visit Disney World in 2021. But then when we looked on the Crowd Calendar, April 9-22 is listed as "highest crowds". Can you clarify about this difference? Alternatively, their mid-winter break is Feb 13-20. If you had to choose one of these dates (Feb 13-20 vs April 12-17), which one is better? Thank you for your help!!

Hi, we're looking at going to Florida either January 7-21st 2021 or May 1st-15th, I'm just really stuggling to decide which date is best to go, I've read that some of the waterparks close in Jan, weather permitting etc. I've heard that May can be really busy around the parks. Thanks

We are celebrating our grandson’s and our friends grandson’s birthdays at WDW, Orlando and are looking at the last week of April 2021. What day you about crowds?! Best day to arrive—we will be there 7-8 days.

Hi! We are thinking of going to Disney from January 10-15 of 2021. What are your predictions for crowds, ride closings, weather, etc? Any help is so appreciated!

When would the best time frame (10 days) to go at the end of January/beginning of February 2021? Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for the great, informative article. We have a trip to WDW//Orlamdo booked for 9/8-9/15. Recognizing the heat, humidity, and rain possibilities, could you advise if the end of September is better? Do crowds increase the very end of the month and into beginning of October? Thank you very much ????

Why exactly is Feb 12-21 2021 bad days to visit? I don't see you expand on that.

I am planning on going to Disney world in April and going to the parks on the 13-14 and the 16th. How bad would you say the crowds are at this time

I'm visiting Disney the first week of March. What will the weather be like around that time? I've heard it can get cold in the early mornings and late evenings. What's the humidity like around that time? Thanks!

We are looking to go either in late Sept or sometime in October 2020....probably a Tuesday-Sunday. Our first choice is Sept 29-Oct 5 for the lower crowds, but are wondering if it will be overly hot? What would you recommend for a 2nd choice in October?

We will have an 8 year old and 9 month old.

Thanks!

Hi,

We are planning a 10 day trip in April 2021 looking at April 20 - April 30th. How is this time for crowds and weather? Any big events at this time? We would love to go to one of the water parks as well. Thanks

We are planning on being at Disney World for my grandson's 5th birthday December 14,2020. He had a storke at the age of three and it has been a rough healing process. We thought this would be a great celebration of his progress. Is this a crowded time of the year?

Would there be much difference in crowds if going June 3 or June 10?

Planning a long-overdue family vacation to Disney World if prices cooperate, or Disneyland if everything gets too costly since we’re flying from Hawaii. Ideally, I am trying to accomplish 2 holidays while at either locations. Are there any set dates for the Halloween party and the Very Merry Christmas party? Would an arrival date of 10/30/20 and departing on 11/9/20 enable us to do both occasions?

Thinking of visiting Disney. Coming from Michigan. Looking at possibly February 2020. Why would February 14-23 be one of the worst times?

We will be going with family in 2021 and are deciding between May 31 (Memorial day!) - June 6

Or the week prior, May 23-29th.

Which one is likely to have the least amount of crowds?

I think you forgot to mention that Disney World 50th anniversary will be Oct. 1, 2021 and with additions to Epcot and 3-4 new rides as well as restaurants, that part of 2021 will most likely be insane.

Hi! I know it’s only a week difference, but which of these weeks might have slightly better crowds this year?

10/25-10/31 : flying home early on the 31st.

Or

11/1-11/8 : jersey week (I know not a big deal) and also election day week.

We’ve been to Disney for Christmas celebrations before, and would really enjoy seeing Halloween and going to a not so scary party, so I know what week I prefer. But if it’s a huge crowd difference, I might change my mind.

Thank you for your opinion!

I'm headed to Disney March 3-8, 2020. I'm headed to Hollywood Studios on March 4 to ride ROTR, but I noticed that the new ride is opening that day as well (Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railroad). I noticed on your crowd calendar that you have it as a 6/10 for crowds. Will that be higher with a new ride opening or do you think the crowds will still be moderate at that point?

Hi! We are planning our first trip to Disney World. My kids will be 9 and 10 when we go. We will be taking the kids out of school so we can really go at any time. After reading your site we narrowed it down to 3 times during 2021:

1) 24-29 January

2) 7-12 February or

3) 9-14 May

We were hoping to go when it's less crowded and the weather will be good.

Thank you!

In 2021, what is going on Jan 18-20 to make it a worst days to go? Do MLK Jr day crowds continue on Tuesday and Wednesday? Do you think Universal will be as crowded? Thanks!

We usually like to visit Disney World late November/Early December but last time in 2018 it was absolutely terrible due to the cheer crowds that were brought in. We had a terrible time at our resort and ran into some issues in the park as well. We want to come back in 2021 for the anniversary but I am struggling to find information on groups that are expected and what hotels they will be booked at. We always book a Value resort as we usually enjoy the atmosphere, pricing and we usually score a great free dining deal. Any tips for 2021 to avoid this issue again? or a calendar for expected groups that come each year? THANKS!!! We love undercover tourist and rely on your information and tickets for Universal.

We are fostering (4) children who have been through hell and back. We had plan tickets given to kids to either Disney World or Disneyland. BUT my husband and I have to plan the remaining of the trip. HOW MUCH is this going to cost us? I need to know the cheapest

Hi,

My daughter will be turning 5 at the end of June 2020 and I plan on surprising her by taking her to Disney World. It will be the first time for her and for me. Seeing that kids are out of school then, is it extremely crowded during that time? And what recommendations do you have for first timers?

Thanks in advance!

Looking to visit Disney parks with 3 daughters around 7 April 2021 for my 50th birthday. Would be there for 2 weeks. Last visit was in 2017 from 6 Aug to 21 Aug. Crowds were bearable but weather hot so wanted to visit at a cooler time. As early April is Easter will after 7th April be reasonable for crowds. Trying to compare to mid August previously.

Thanks

We want to gift 3 day DW trip in 2020 (Jan thru April) for son and wife, both are 34. He to be deployed in summer. She has never been, he as a child. Please advise preferences on hotels but I bet they will be in parks almost full time til fireworks so not a lot of hotel time. We will buy tickets and give cash for room, etc. Probably a Resort hotel but only if you think that is a good plan. Thanks

It says the best days to visit in 2020 are Jan. 13-16, but then it says the worst days to visit are Jan 14-24. Those dates overlap. Is Jan 13-16 a good time to go or a bad time to go? Thanks.

going to start going to parks on Feb 23 -25 2020 i understand that the marathon ends on the 23rd. any suggestion on what park might be less crowded that day? also does that Monday fall in the category of a good day to be there or a bad one since its in between one of the worst times and one of the best times?

Why is mid Feb always listed in your "worst times to visit"?

Why is January 14-24 worst days to visit in 2020?
