Another Take on the Best Weeks of 2013 to Visit Walt Disney World

By Dave Shute

AN ALTERNATE VIEW OF THE BEST WEEKS OF 2013 AT WALT DISNEY WORLD FOR YOUR FAMILY

This site has a couple of easy ways and a hard way to figure out the best times to visit Walt Disney World in 2013.

The 2013 Weeks to Visit rankings are the easy way for first time visitors to pick a time, and the 2013 Week Picker takes a few more clicks but is great for returning visitors—and for first timers who weigh the key issues of crowds, prices, etc., differently than I do.

The harder way is to drill down yourself into weather, prices, crowds, ride closures, and the hurricane season, and use the conclusions you draw from this material to pick your time to visit Walt Disney World in 2013.

Or you could just go in later October…

EVERY WEEK PICKER RESULT INCLUDES LATER OCTOBER

The week picker lets you pick the best weeks of 2013 based on your own views on crowds, weather and prices.

And every single result in it includes the arrival dates of October 19 and October 26. (See the image for an example result.)

This is because they are in none of the excludable weather periods (not in summer, not in winter, not in the peak of the hurricane season) and are also low crowd and low price weeks. So none of the week picker options exclude them.

They also avoid the peak of the ride closure season, and occur during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival and the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party season, and happen during one of the most comfortable times to visit Walt Disney World.

There’s a lot to like about these two weeks. They don’t show up first in the 2013 week rankings—but that’s because of Christmas. They are instead ranked #4 and #5.

So want easy advice on when to go to Walt Disney World? Go in later October!
