PICKING THE BEST WEEK OF 2013 AT DISNEY WORLD FOR YOUR FAMILY

The 2013 Walt Disney World Week Picker is designed to show you the best weeks for your 2013 visit to Walt Disney World based on what’s important to you.

(It’s an alternative to this site’s 2013 Weeks to Visit Walt Disney World, Ranked in Order, which is designed to yield answers for the “typical family” of first time visitors who may never return.)

The Week Picker provides guidance on the best weeks of 2013 for you to visit Walt Disney World based on your family’s exact preferences, and is particularly useful for returning visitors!

SINGING THROUGH THE RAIN AT WALT DISNEY WORLD

Rain–sometimes afternoon showers, sometimes multi-day storms–can happen anytime, but is a fact of life in the summer at Walt Disney World.

When the forecast is for heavy continuing rain, you’ll see some advising taking the day off at the hotel, others suggesting a trip to Downtown Disney for a movie, DisneyQuest, and shopping, and still others advising going to the parks.

But if it’s a warm day, and your kids are pre-teens, there’s really no question about what to do: on a rainy but warm summer day at Walt Disney World, go to the Magic Kingdom! [Read more →]

EASTER 2013 AT DISNEY WORLD

2013 Easter crowds (and prices!!) at Walt Disney World will hit a very high peak in the week beginning March 23, 2013, and be as high for most of the week beginning March 30, 2013.

Try your best to avoid Walt Disney World during these two weeks.

For specific 2013 Disney World Easter events (as they are announced)–ranging from where to find the Easter Bunny at Disney World to Easter Sunday services at Disney’s Contemporary Resort–see this page on MouseSavers.com.

For off property Easter services, see this for places of worship near Walt Disney World.

At Walt Disney World itself, typically Easter services are held in the Fantasia Ballroom at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny greet kids at the Magic Kingdom, and Epcot has Easter Egg hunts.

In addition, many Walt Disney World resort hotels hold “candy scrambles” Easter morning.

Check with your resort when you check in for more details.
