Booking trip- need advice!!

[marlan76]

We want to take our 3 yr old back again . .Last year we went the week before Easter and it was pretty busy. I don't have much of a choice when we go since I work in a school.. So this year my spring break is the week after Easter-- April 5-9. I was thinking of going that week but I am concerned how busy that will be.

My only other choice is the second week of June which I think will be even busier?? Also, if I choose to book for April should I book it soon?? I know there aren't any promos out now for then.. What about dining? Last time I waited way too long and couldn't get in Chef's mickey or anywhere good! Any advice would be great ) Thank you!!

I believe you can book now and if a promo/discount comes out later change the reservation (if they have rooms available at the discount).

Book the ADR's as soon as you can. You don't have to wait until your booked, unless you want to get the 180 + 10.

what does that mean 180 + 10 for adr's ??

180 plus 10 means you can book dining reservations 180 days in advance and for 10 days following your 180 day mark. so on the day your 180 day window opens, you can book dining for the first day of your trip, and 10 days after that.

Easter is absolutely 2 of the 3 busiest weeks of the enitre year, so June will be less crowded.

If you are going over Easter, yes, you should book now. Call and book directly with Disney. That way if a deald comes out (though I doubt one will) then they will apply it for you later.

Hi, We are planning a family trip and my husband is also in the school system. We can only go spring, summer, thanksgiving or christmas. I was wondering when would be the best and less busy times to go. I appreciate any advice you can give. Blessings, Robyn

The week after Easter won't be as hot as June. I'm not sure how busy that time of year is-I seem to always go in the fall. Too bad my birthday is in the spring, I never get to go then. I like the Free Dining in the fall.

Of those times, the first two weeks of June or the last two weeks of August are probably your best bet. Hot, but less crowded. That is assuming "spring" means "sometime the touches Easter." If Spring means you can go in mid-May when Easter is in March, take Spring. Just don't let Spring touch Easter.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are always the busiest, Depending on when you go in the spring, the park should be the least crowded.

If you can go in October or early November you will find the park your own little magical place.
