How to Pick The Best time For Your Family To Visit Walt Disney World

For the Best Prices and Crowd Levels

For some, the weather isn’t something they’re concerned about. Instead, many of these individuals are more concerned about finding the best possible prices on tickets and a hotel room. Meanwhile, others are thinking about how to avoid the enormous crowds that are so often found at Disney World.  The lowest prices and lowest crowd levels tend to go hand in hand. Therefore, if you’re looking to get one, you’ll likely get both.

These are the times we recommend visiting for low crowd levels:

  • January and February: The beginning of the year tends to be a slower time for Disney World. As long as you avoid Presidents’ Day weekend and the New Year’s holiday, you should be good to go anytime during January or February.
  • September through mid-November: Once school is back in session after the summer break, Disney World sees a dramatic drop in attendance for several weeks. Visit anytime from early September through mid-November and you’ll see fewer crowds. That said, you will want to make sure to avoid the week or so before Thanksgiving.
  • Early December: There are about two weeks between the Thanksgiving rush and the Christmas rush when crowd levels are surprisingly low. Hit the parks up during this time and enjoy all the holiday fun without the suffocating crowds.

As mentioned before, because the crowd levels are low during these times, you can count on the ticket and hotel prices to be on the lower side. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for sales and other good deals. For instance, early fall dates often come with the bonus of the free dining promotion.

For the Best Events and Decor

Finally, there are those who want to visit Disney during the most festive times of year. Who can blame them? Disney knows how to do decorations and events right.

  • If you’re looking for awesome decorations and events we highly recommend visiting anytime between early September and late December. If visiting in September or October, you can count on awesome Halloween decorations as well as “Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party”. Meanwhile, those visiting during November or December will get to see gorgeous Christmas decor and attend “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party”.

Hopefully this information helps you choose the best time of year for your family to visit Disney World. No matter when you choose to go, you’re sure to have an awesome time!
