Is May 23 - 26th a good time to plan a trip?

[CSchex]

Hello Disboard members! We are thinking about making a super quick trip to WDW. We would only be able to stay 3 nights. My question is, is May 23-26 a good time? Our kids get out of school on May 22nd, but I know some schools go until June. Any experts out there on what the crowds are like? Thanks!

They have a crowd calendar that shows you what the expected crowd levels will be for the days you are going. Also tells you what parks are recommended for each day.

Helps me A LOT in my planning.

It will be busy, that is Memorial Day weekend

And avoid Hollywood Studio's because the Star Wars event with be happening.

We do Memorial Day staying at BC every year, and while WDW is busy it's not too crazy. We always manage to do all the stuff we like to do. To be fair we are definitely Epcot people, though, and Epcot seems to do the best job of absorbing large crowds. MK is busier that weekend, but still manageable.

Like Shelly says, though, avoid HS that weekend.

Thanks everybody! Crowd calendar shows an 8, which is the same when we went Thanksgiving week. Crowds were manageable then.

Also keep in mind with the opening of the new 7 dwarf mine ride in April MK could be a bit busier.
