Crowds in early June?

[TnKrBeLlA012]

Well we are changing our dates again for the 3rd time, we are now going June 11- June 21 how are the crowds during this time? Thanks!

We will be there the 19-25 and are wondering the same thing. I have seen on the touringplans.com site that it will be an 8 on a scale of 1-10. That sounds really scary to me, but I guess we'll just have to deal with it.

We were there the 15th-19th last year. It was crowded but not that bad. We did not go to parks that had EMH in the morning. We tended to go to a park the day after it was EMH and were able to ride most things that we wanted using FPs or standing in line for 20 minutes at most.

We usually go in December, but are going June 3rd - 9th this year. I'm hoping it won't be too bad.

Hi, I am going with my gf and family on 11th - 25th June and I've also been looking on here for any information for crowds in June too. So I'll be watching this thread closely!!

Can anyone else help us???

We go in June every trip and have been in early, mid, and late June.

When I went in early June, the first time, it was during Gay Days, went to MK on their Sat.(didn't know about GD then) MK was a zoo, very crowded, but the other parks were not crowded at all. If you avoid the Gay Days crowds (look at the website) the parks are not bad at all. We mostly go the second week of June. It is HOT and there are crowds, but not really that bad. As the month goes on the crowds get bigger.

Have a good plan: We always do EE to get things done in the morning, when it's cooler, USE fastpass, we go back to the hotel in the afternoon and swim/rest and hit another park for the night.

I have never had a bad trip in June and have never thought it was too crowded.
We like the longer hours and that there are 2 spectro parades and 2 fantasmic shows on alot of nights. We will be at WDW June 10 - 18 this year.

I don't know how the Celebration or the new packages will effect June this year, but June is my familiy's favorite time to go.

Let me know if I can help more.

First part of June 1997 crowds moderate to heavy.We had a good time we arrived at what park we were going to tour that day early and I mean early.Like in the first couple of hundred folks at opening.We got many attractions in with no wait until around 11:00 am when crowd would catch up with us.We would then break for early lunch then back to room for some rest and pool time.Then we would go back to a park late afternoon and close out that park.

Well, Thank you all so much for your help!

You mentioned gay days. Anyone know when it is this year? We will be there June 4-10.

www.gayday.com says June 1-6

For those of you who may have done these other times, along with June, could you maybe do a comparison? We've been the third week in August..hot/extremely humid/rain every day for extended time, moderate crowds. Thanksgiving week-end..speaks for itself. How do the weather and crowds compare, especially to August? I'm expecting somewhat larger crowds than August but less humidity. Same heat but hopefully a little less rain? We will be there from the 18-26. Thanks.

Hot and potentially rainy like Aug...crowds depend on what groups are there...if you avoid Gay Days or the Tiger Woods camp (if they still do it) then you are ok. Just make use of the EMH's...not only for crowds, but for the heat...soak in the pool and take a break mid-afternoon and you'll be fine!

Gay Days is the week of the May 31-June 5 we are going the same time as you are 4-9. Looks like you should try and avoid the MK on the 5 if you are wanting to miss the crowds. Here is the link for the schedule

We will also be there in June(7-13) Im not worried about the heat and humidity, being from Kansas and all, but I am a bit worried about the crowds. Im sure we will have a great time no matter

My 2 children (dd11 & ds4) will arrive on June 1. DH flies in on June 3. We will be at BCV for our second trip home until June 10. Ready to relax and hang at SAB!!

We went early June last year. Weather was hot. Not unbearable but hot. The kids really need a break around lunch time. That was our downfall. We planned on taking breaks but when we got there it was hard to leave the parks. If you have kids TAKE BREAKS!!! I can't say that enough.

IMHO the crowds got pretty big later in the morning. We were lucky enough to get early ressies for Cinderellas castle one morning. We ate and were on Phantasmic before the crowds got to the castle. It was GREAT. Hope this helps. GL.
