AP block out dates

[abbie13_15]

Trying to decide on our dates...can someone help me out and tell me where I can find the block out dates for AP's. We are from Missouri and are looking to go when some are blocked in hopes it will help a little with crowds.

This is going about it a little backwards. Disney blocks APs when they are expecting the highest crowds. So, if you go during blocked days, expect high crowds. As an example, all APs except premiums are blocked the week between Christmas and New Years. That week will expect turnstile closures all week.

There are times when one really wants to go on blocked days, and other times when it will not matter.

Times when blockage has really mattered in recent years has been in June and Thanksgiving week. The blocked days during those periods are much better days to visit than the unblocked days. But then even the unblocked days are still crowded.

On weekends where Saturdays are generally blocked and Sundays are not, I would suggest Saturdays are better for the casual visitor.
