Winter Impact on Crowds

[thevolcanogod]

Are there any thoughts to the winter and its impact on spring crowd volumes? In the Midwest, we just got through a very harsh winter. I remember hearing through the vine about travel agents who were swamped with requests from people booking "Get me the H*** out of here" trips. Seems like that warm Florida weather would be just the ticket. With WDW such a large tourist draw, it makes sense that winter fallout would impact crowds as a result.

Looking ahead, do you think this will result in a lighter fall as people who normally traveled then switched it up to the spring? We also have the 7DMT and Harry Potter 2 opening in early summer so that may further stack the spring/early summer with visitors. Could be a really great time to go this fall off-season. Too bad my wife is a teacher.

I don't think it's possible to accurately predict crowd levels based on weather generalities.

By the way, I think "fall off-season" is always a great time to go.
