2026 Disney World Week Rankings
By Dave Shute
OVERVIEW: THE BEST TIMES IN 2026 TO VISIT WALT DISNEY WORLD
The rankings of times to visit Walt Disney World in 2026 that follow are designed for first time visitors who do not know whether or not they will return.
For visitors on a return trip or first timers who know they will return, less concerned about ride closures or the peak of the hurricane season, the later January, August, and September weeks would be ranked much higher.

The rankings are in calendar order in the image above. Weeks I recommend are in bold. Weeks in rank order are below.
These week rankings are based on my analysis of 2026 school breaks covering more than 15 million kids, my resulting crowd calendar for 2026, on Disney World’s 2026 resort hotel price seasons, and on Disney World’s 2026 ticket price calendar. I’ll write up and publish all these shortly, but wanted to get these week rankings out first, as they are so late…
Other factors are key as well–the holiday program, ride closure season and hurricane season in particular.
For more on how I build these rankings–although it’s old, it still is mostly I do it–see this.
