Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

     
  
For those of us who are not American, would someone be kind enough to note the actual dates of Memorial Day Weekend, Martin Luther King Day and Presidents day.

I have some planning to do!

Many thanks

Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

We went in late January/early Febuary. It wasnt that crowded except for the tons of teenages in MK for the Cheerleading Competition. We usually go in October/September, but we decided to try this time of year b/c our friend suggested it. We'll probbally go back about the same time next time.

Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

The best time I have been down there has been in early February before President's Day. The crowds were low (atleast to me they were but I've always been there in the summer so I guess they could have been crowded for others) and the weather was great (jeans and a short sleeve shirt were perfect although some people were even in shorts and swimming).

Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

We are going the end of Nov through the first week in Dec. I keep hearing mixed things about this time. I understand as we are checking in the Friday after Thanksgiving that that weekend will still be crowded, but what about beginning Mon, Dec 1st..........

Question Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

I have planned a trip for the Week of November 9 - 16. Is that a good time? What are the crowds like during the first week of November?

Re: Crowds and Best Time To Visit

I couldn't just go anytime. LOL I really couldn't deal with the crowds during the summer. I'd rather chew on a brick than deal with that many people.

However, this past October was far more busier than in 2005. During our first trip in 05 the crowds were incredibly tiny. It was almost a walk on for every ride. (except Soarin) But last October it just seemed to be almost too much at times. Weird.

It varies each year. But they are usually down very fast. Like overnight. But I believe I've heard that they are always up until a few days after the first of the year. Some say that they could be up until week of January 7th, but don't count on it. Disney doesn't have an official date they take them down.
