                When do you want to go Disney?

Walt Disney World® has peak and off-peak times of the year:

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

Moderate Attendance:
  • After Presidents' week in February through early March
  • Late April through early June (except Memorial Day weekend)
  • The first part of Thanksgiving week

Lowest Attendance:
  • January (except New Year's Day) until just prior to Presidents' week in February
  • The week following Labor Day until just prior to Thanksgiving week
  • The week following Thanksgiving until the week prior to Christmas

As you can see, peak times are generally during the summer and holidays because they coincide
with kid's vacations. During these peak times, the parks are really crowded, but that's
counterbalanced with longer park hours and more attractions. During off-peak times, the lines will
be shorter, but certain attractions may be closed.


Disney Resort Pricing 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, Summer
Season, Peak Season and Holiday Season. So if you would like to save a little money on
your stay, simply to book in the off-season!
