Coping with March and April Crowds at Walt Disney World
THE SPRING BREAK CROWDS ARE HERE…
Rick recently commented on this page as follows:
Dave – Good information on your website.
Maybe I missed it but Disney is good about extending hours during busy times.
If you are prone to getting up early you can enjoy small crowds, take a break and return later in the day. If you are only able to travel during busy times that has worked for us.
This is a really important point.
I address it in general–all this site’s itineraries include being at the parks before they open, and I posted some material on Christmas and New Years crowds here.
That said, there’s more to say, and now that we are fully in the incredibly busy Spring Break and Easter parts of the year, here it is!

Summer 2011 at Walt Disney World
OVERVIEW: SUMMER AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
Summer at Walt Disney World—loosely defined as Memorial Day in late May through Labor Day in early September–is an often difficult season.
The weather is hot and humid, and in mid-August shifts to hot, humid, and also the peak of the hurricane season.
Crowds are very high most of the summer–lightest in the latter part of August, and also a little lighter in early June. They peak over the Fourth of July holiday.
Prices begin fairly high, peak over the Fourth of July weekend, and drop to their lowest level of the year at the deluxe resorts in mid-July, and at the moderate resorts and value resorts in mid August.
Deals and discounts are available for parts of this period.

How the Disney World Week Rankings are Created, Continued
(For thefirst page of this article, click here.)
LIMITATIONS OF THESE DISNEY WORLD WEEK RANKINGS
1. Revisions
I publish these rankings well in advance of when school year vacation schedules, Disney World price seasons, and park operating hours are published.
As a result, I revise them as the first two issues–price seasons and school year calendars–become available.
While the 2011 rankings are final, the 2012 rankings will be revised at least twice more–after 2011-2012 academic calendars are fully out, and after 2012 price seasons are announced in August.
The first draft of 2013 week rankings will come out in early fall 2011.

CREATING THE “WEEKS TO VISIT RANKED IN ORDER” PAGES
Month in and month out, among this site’s most popular pages are its “Weeks to Visit Walt Disney World, Ranked in Order” pages–for example, this one for 2011, and this one for 2012.
This page explains why these were built, how they were built, and some of their limitations.
