Trying to decide which time to go April 13th thru 19th or May 22nd thru 28th
which one would have lighter crowds and if it would be too hot in May.
This is our first trip to Disney. Thank you

We love going in May and I really think the crowds would be lighter that week. That week in April is vacation for ALOT of schools. I think the weather in May is great too. But crowdwise, I would say May

Hi there
We went in May 05, the weather was great and the crowds were fine.
We were going in May this year but due to unforseen circumstances
had to rebook for September

Good luck ​

Seasonal passes turn back on after the 13th of April. What that means is the park is still busier than may but it is significantly calmed down from the previous two weeks. Seasonal passes do not work during the worst times for the park.

It has been many years since i've visited in April, however, my sister goes every year, the dates you are talking about happen to be when she goes. She doesn't mind it, however, she is used to it. I do know that last year, DH & I went from May 18 til the 23rd and it was HOT!!! The crowds were not bad at all, but it was so intensely hot, mid-upper 90s, not my idea of optimum park touring weather! I will not be doing a repeat of the May trip!

I truly did not make the previous post to discourage you or knock your decision, it just didn't work for me.

not at all wdwlvr. How did your off site trips go? we have a time share in
orlando,never used but suppose to be close to wdw. I have been told it was a lot easier staying in the park with kids.

We went last May, and got lucky. It was only about 85 degrees, but the next few days after that it got quite hot - mid 90's. So personally, I'd rather do April, but that's because I'm a wimp in the heat.
