changing time of year

[wordzylady]

After being at Disney the end of January, first of February for six years we have to change and go in June or July. I am looking for any info on least crowded periods during that time. We were looking at possibly June 13-19 or June 27-July 3. Help please!!!!

The time you are looking at will be far more crowded than when you've gone, not to mention MUCH hotter. If you could go the very first week of June or the second half of August, it will be less crowded.

Since the July 4th time period is one of the busier times of year, I would try to go in June, as early in the month as possible.

Most schools are out by the end of June, early July, so you have big crowds because of people like me coming with out kiddies.

I wish I had the info to give you directily, but I loaned my book to a friend....

The new 2005 Unofficial Guide to Disney has esimated crowd levels for every day of the coming year. You might want to buy or borrow a copy while you are making your plans. Offhand, I would think your earlier June date would be better than right before 4th of July, but that is JMO.

July 4th weekend is a nightmare crowd, about on par with Easter week and Christmas/New Years week. As Dean said, the first week of June and last half of August are busy, particularly in the afternoon. but much better than the rest of the summer where crowds are quite large. Also June is start of hot, humid and rainy season. Makes an afternoon pool break all that more important.
