Feb 22-28 – Heavy crowds remain as guests come out for the Disney Princess Half Marathon and stay that way basically through the end of the month. The best time to visit Disney World depends on many factors, including the weather, each traveler’s busy schedule, and, of course, how crowded the theme parks will be. Ohana, Polynesian Village Resort – All-you-can-eat, American-style (with a Polynesian twist) buffet for breakfast and dinner. You can see the avg wait for an attraction was around 15 minutes in August/September 2021, but then once 2022 hit, average wait times reached 35 minutes or more. Walt Disney World welcomes springtime with the Flower and Garden Festival. March at Walt Disney World tends to get rather busy with a slew of visiting championship teams and activities all month. As always if you’re visiting this month, we recommend avoiding the holiday weekends. We even have recommendations on the Best Resort for Spring Break for Families, to help you stay away from the chaos. Take note of the activities and holidays happening in March.
Although we have years of experience putting these crowd calendars together, occasionally something happens (like a surprise announcement from Disney) that can throw off our predictions. But don’t panic! The Boathouse, The Landing, Disney Springs – Upscale waterfront dining experience featuring steaks and seafood, Amphicar tours, Italian water taxi tours, and live music.
To start with, consider booking Advance Dining Reservations for a few hard-to-get table service restaurants – and maybe one character dining experience – when your 60-day window opens. Don’t worry if you are unable or unwilling to book all your dining at 60 days. UPDATE) – We’ve updated our Crowd Calendar to reflect the latest crowd expectations for Mid-2023 and beyond. Does that mean you will never find competitors in the other resorts? No. But you’ll definitely When looking at crowd levels, please remember that you can’t compare this year to last year, or any other year for that matter. What we consider “heavy” crowds now will likely look nothing like the “heavy” crowds from years past. November 15-22, 2024 (moderate crowds, holiday decorations are out, but the Festival of the Holidays will not have begun yet at Epcot)
December 2-20, 2024 (moderate to heavy crowds, holiday decorations, Festival of Holidays will be happening)There are 2 ride reservation systems, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections, both of which you need to pay extra for if you want to use. Guests with reservations then use the Lightning Lane (the old FastPass lane) to bypass the standby line.
The smaller the crowds are, the less time you are going to have to wait in line for your favorite ride. So the objective is to find when there are the least amount of people in the parks as possible when you go. Just a word of caution, since the parks reopened, any traditional Disney World crowd calendar has been thrown out the window as it has been extremely difficult to predict attendance with any reliability up to this point. The low levels of a few years ago were due to a number of factors. Many domestic travelers initially were hesitant to travel at first, but after a few months decided they felt more comfortable with the idea once they saw how Disney was handling the changes and procedures. Having those procedures removed, like having to wear a face mask, likely helped attract guests who before wanted to wait. We thought the overall months’ crowd rating would come out differently than it did when we added everything up, with some months held as being less crowded, much higher up on the list.
We can then either take a well-earned nap in the room or put our bathing suits on and take a dip in the hotel swimming pool. Nov 22-26 – This is the peak for crowds in November, only topped by the Christmas and New Year’s weeks.
