Best Time to Visit Disney Area Attractions in Orlando, Florida

Many of our guests ask, "When is the best time to visit Disney and Orlando attractions?" The answer depends on a few key factors, including seasonal crowd levels and whether you're traveling with school-aged children. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
 

Low Season – Fewer Crowds & Better Rates

• Early Winter, Late Spring, Late Summer, and Most of Fall: These periods generally see lower attendance, which means shorter lines and more affordable villa rates.
• Benefits: Fewer crowds, lower prices, and more time enjoying attractions rather than waiting in line.
   

High Season – Peak Attendance

• Late Winter/Early Spring (including around Easter), and June through August: These times are in higher demand, especially when schools are out.
• Drawbacks: Expect higher rates for vacation villas, longer queues at the parks, and more crowded attractions.
   

Traveling with School-Aged Kids

• School Breaks: When kids are out of school, the parks are packed. This means higher rental costs and longer wait times, resulting in less efficient visits.
• Budget Tip: Renting a villa during off-peak times can save you money compared to booking multiple hotel rooms during busy periods.
   

Additional Considerations

• Villa Rates Vary with Crowds: Prices for vacation villas rise during busy seasons. If possible, plan your visit during non-peak periods to save hundreds of dollars.
• Special Occasions: If celebrating events like New Year’s Eve at the parks is a must, the peak season might be worth the extra expense.
   

By planning your trip during the non-peak seasons, you can enjoy more attractions, save money, and make the most of your Orlando vacation. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, choosing the right time to visit Disney World and nearby attractions is key to a memorable, stress-free vacation.
