The month of August in Disney World is a mixed bag in terms of crowd levels and pricing but the one factor that holds constant all month long is the hot, steamy weather.  The first few weeks of August will see the month’s highest crowds which will diminish as the month continues.  Like the other summer months, August will have longer park hours allowing guests to enjoy the parks late into the evening without the hot, Florida sun.  August is {Read More}

December in Disney World has a split personality.  The first few weeks of the month, through around December 19th, see lower pricing and relatively low crowds.  The latter part of the month is a whole different story, with the last 10 days of December seeing some of the highest pricing and crowd levels we will see all year.  That said, many people consider December their favorite time to visit as it is possible to enjoy all of Disney World’s holiday {Read More}

Overall, November is a lovely time to visit Walt Disney World.  The weather has finally cooled down and crowds remain low with the exception of Thanksgiving week.  Beginning around Thanksgiving, the holiday decorations start arriving around the Disney theme parks and resorts and, while crowded, Thanksgiving at Disney World is a fun way to get into the holiday spirit.  If you are planning to visit during turkey time, be sure to plan your dining as far in advance as possible, {Read More}

I love Disney World in October.  The heat is beginning to diminish, crowds are generally low, prices are good and the Magic Kingdom is all decked out for Halloween.  The Food and Wine Festival is in full-swing at Epcot and there are lots of opportunities for Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party.  October is another month that allows you to visit the parks at a leisurely pace while still getting to enjoy a great deal of Disney magic!

If it fits your family’s schedule, September can be an excellent time to visit.  Crowds are at some of the lowest levels we’ll see all year with the exception of a few weeks in January.  If heat and humidity are an issue, the weather in September is very similar to that of the summer months with high temperatures and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. While September in Florida is still hot, without the press of the crowds you can take things at {Read More}

In the summertime when the weather is high, you can stretch right up and touch the sky.  -Mungo Jerry Here we are in July, folks and that red-hot calendar speaks volumes about what it’s like in Disney World this month in more ways than one.  We’ve got lots of people and high temps and thick humidity and the growing possibility of afternoon thundershowers (though we’ll see lots more of those in August).  But we’ve also got summer savings deals, extended {Read More}

Summertime is just about here, folks, with many southern schools finishing up and beginning their summer vacations at the end of May and in early June.  As June draws to a close, the rest of the country’s kids are out for the summer and families are hitting the road with Disney World as their destination.  Temps are creeping up and things are starting to feel steamy with increasing humidity.  At the same time, there’s just nothing like the fun of {Read More}

Ahhh, beautiful May.  As much as I’d go to Disney World pretty much any week of the year, I have to say that May is my absolute favorite time to be there.  The weather is incredible (I don’t mind the heat, especially without the heavy-duty humidity of the summer months), crowds are low, there’s not a lot of rain, and I just love Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival which ends on May 18th.  Maybe I should keep May a secret!  {Read More}

April is a decidedly busy month to visit Disney World and the weeks including the Easter & Passover holidays are some of the busiest (and most expensive) all year.  Many schools are closed for spring break and families flock to visit the Mouse.  Can you still have a good time?  Absolutely.  A smart touring plan (which I can provide!) will help you to maximize your time in the parks and help you to avoid the long lines.  One bonus is {Read More}

The March crowd calendar has a distinctly reggae-feel to it, right?  In any case, that first green week, continuing from the low crowds during the last week in February, make this a really nice time to visit.  Pricing this week remains at Regular Season but goes up to Peak Season as the crowds start to increase on March 7th.  March starts to see temperatures rising as well, with highs in the upper 70s. Crowd Levels & Special Events For the {Read More}
