What Is the Slowest Time at Disney World?

Walt Disney World's parks are typically least crowded:

  • January 2nd until just prior to Presidents' Day week (third Monday in February)
  • The week after Labor Day until just prior to Thanksgiving week.
  • The week following Thanksgiving weekend until the week prior to Christmas.

What time of year is Disney the least busy?

It's always a great time to visit Disney theme parks! However, when planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort, expect lower crowds from mid-September through mid-November (before the Thanksgiving break). Mid-January through mid-March is another time when potentially lower crowds are expected.

What are the least crowded weeks at Disney World?

Early January, from about the 5th to Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, is typically a less crowded time at Disney World. You may still have some kids on the tail end of their holiday breaks, but for the most part, they're back in school.
