Most Disney-goers are families which means most trips to Disney are scheduled around school breaks. If you’re trying to work a Disney vacation into your busy schedule, you may want to consider taking your kids out of school to visit – a move that will help you avoid crowds. I addition to schedule, cost is an additional consideration. Generally, Disney resort prices are higher when kids are out of school so in both cases, the list below will apply. Assume that the busiest times are also the most expensive.

The worst / busiest times to be at Disney World:

– Easter Week

– Mid-March through mid-April (Spring Break)

– June through August (Summer Vacation)

– Christmas week through Marathon weekend (the first or second weekend in January)

Another consideration – When crowds are low, Disney closes down rides for refurbishment. This usually begins in early January and continues through mid-February. Disney usually posts details on ride closures and resort construction on their site or you can call Disney World at (407) 939-5277 for details.

Moderately Busy

– Mid-May (“early” Summer Vacation)

– The week before Christmas week
