Early June vs. late June...and WDW's 50th Anniversary

[YawningDodo]

I'm getting way ahead of myself with this, but I'm thinking of celebrating my annual leave increasing in 2021 by getting an annual pass to WDW that year and going twice for the 50th (once for Marathon Weekend, once to actually enjoy the parks). I know June's got terrible weather in Orlando, but...well, June 24 is my birthday, and until recent years I always assumed I would never, ever have a WDW birthday since summer is high season. With summer slacking a bit more now, I wonder if it's a possibility after all. In 2021 that would put me there the last full week of June (there's another four days after that).

I know questions like "how much worse is the end of June than the beginning of June for crowds?" are really hard to answer when we're expecting across the board attendance increases for 2021, but...hey, what are your bets on that? I'm fine with being hot and dealing with afternoon showers, for the record.

I think early June is better for probable low crowds. For example, in our area schools don’t dismiss for the year until mid-June. But if you’d like to be there for your birthday - I don’t blame you! - I wouldn’t let possibly higher attendance deter you. It won’t be anything like the Christmas season that’s for sure.

I'd pick early June as well for the same reasons - not all schools are out yet. But if you wanted to be there for your actual birthday, I wouldn't think it would be too much worse. All with the exception of HS - I think that is going to be a mess for several years with the addition of Star Wars. ( And by a mess I mean just tons and tons of people in the Galaxy Edge area.
