The best times and which months when visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks.
|
If you're curious what the best times and best months to visit Walt Disney World, we'll show the main things to consider through each month on an average year. "Crowd Calendars" are largely pointless these days, but there are some things to be aware of. There isn't a bad time or month to visit Walt Disney World, but there are things to consider which could enhance or hinder your Walt Disney World holiday depending on what your plans are.
January
The first half of the month is usually quite busy as Christmas and New year crowds start to wind down. There are runDisney and marathon events that happen during January, and EPCOT's International Festival of the Arts begins.
February
Mardi Gras and Presidents' Day happen this month to cause spikes in crowds, and it can be chilly in the evenings. But overall a quiet month if you don't mind the cold.
March
The weather starts to warm up in March. Crowds are quite low in the first half but they do start to build up as the month goes due to Spring Break. EPCOT Flower & Garden festival usually begins this month.
April
April is usually a pretty busy month with Spring Break and Easter crowds, expect it to be quite busy.
May
May is usually not too busy, but this is when the weather starts to heat up.
June
Lots of rain in June and very hot weather. Hurricane season begins!
July
The busiest and hottest month of the year due to peak US holidays. If there is one month of the year to avoid, it would be this one. EPCOT Food & Wine usually starts towards the end of July.
August
One of the most popular times for Brits to visit Walt Disney World due to our summer holidays. The US schools tend to return in mid-August, so if you're going in August, try going in the second half. The weather is again very hot, but Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party begins.
September
After Labour Day (first weekend of September) crowds quieten down quite a bit. It's still hot, with a chance of a hurricane. This is our favourite time of the year to go.
October
The weather starts to cool and the crowds start to build as the peak Halloween season begins.
November
Christmas season begins and the weather is much cooler. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas parties begin. Avoid Thanksgiving week if you can.
December
The crowds pick up as the month goes on. The week between Christmas and New Year is usually one of the busiest weeks of the year.
