I’ve recently published the first draft of  the weeks of 2014 ranked in order of how good they are for a family on their first visit to Walt Disney World, and who may never return.

This page explains how they are built.

HOW THE 2014 DISNEY WORLD WEEK RANKINGS ARE BUILT–AND WHY THEY ARE A DRAFT

Basically, I chunk up the weeks of the year based on certain criteria, and then sort within each chunk based first on crowds, and then, within the same crowd level, prices.

Both the 2014 Disney World crowd calendar and the 2014 projected price seasons will be revised in the summer of 2013–when better information will be available for both.  Since the week rankings are built on them. this may result in week ranking changes as well.

RUMOR: BE OUR GUEST TO OPEN THIS SUNDAY

A trusted source tells me that a trusted source tells her that Disney World’s new restaurant, Be Our Guest, will begin offering counter service meals on October 28.

The quality of my sources suggests to me that this is a real intention   That doesn’t mean it will happen.  Operational challenges may delay the opening; if it does open, it could close at any time and not re-open until Disney thinks it is ready.

So I wouldn’t make a special trip to the Magic Kingdom Sunday based on this–but if you are there, check it out–and let me know if it’s open!
