Re: Best Busy Time to Go
I would go during spring break, not all schools will be out that week so it should be less crowded than Christmas break and the weather should be good.

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
Spring break time would have the best weather.

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
If spring break is at Easter, avoid it. The year we went they actually closed MK one day to all guests not staying on site, because it was so crowded. I actually found summer far less crowded than spring break.

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
I think the Christmas decorations and atmophere outweigh the crowds. I would choose Christmas.
That being said, I have done Spring Break twice and the 4th week of June once and neither was unmanagable. I would skip Easter week and 4th of July week for sure! |

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
You could hit some really cold weather around the christmas holiday. I would prefer the spring break week. Though I would like to see WDW decorated for the holiday. But, prepare to be cold and not able to visit water parks.

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
Spring Break. The crowds were decent all the times I went; large but manageable. I did notice more attitudes during one of those spring break trips as opposed to any other time, for some reason. Like, kids being bratty and parents being hitty and the elderly being grouchy. It was a little weird, but it didn't ruin my trip either.

I was just there Fri-today . . . and the longest I waited was 20 minutes and that was for Peter Pan!!  There were people around, but the rides and crowds were fine!I think there is just SO MUCH to see and do now. With all the extra street shows and things like the BBB and the new Pirate place, etc. etc. that the masses are just spread out!  True what they say about Xmas week being cold . . . I was there last year the week BEFORE Xmas and we only got to swim ONE day . . . the rest we were wearing coats, hats and gloves! It is awesome at Xmas time though. |

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
Seems like you will get three different opinions here. It depends on what you like.
1) Christmas - Most Busy but decorations add fun. Could be cold. 2) Spring Break - Busy, but could get bad near Easter. Nice weather. 3) June - Least busy of the three. Could be hot. |

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
I think your family should decide what is important for you all to do while at WDW...
My order would be......#1 Christmas #2 Spring Break #3 June But, we love DW at any time of the year..... Do you want to spend time at the water parks and swimming pools? Do you want to enjoy the Flower and Garden festival and spring-like weather? Do you want to experience Christmas at Disney? Each time is great and different......just depends upon what your family would like to do. Good luck with your decision! |

Re: Best Busy Time to Go
Third week in June is your best/least crowded time of your three choices.
