Best times to visit Walt Disney World

Of all of the questions I am asked about Walt Disney World, by far the most frequently asked questions is “when is the best time to go?”  There is no one answer that is right for all families, but by and large people are wanting to know when can they plan their visit where they will find low crowds and low prices.

True “empty park” weeks are pretty much a thing of the past at Walt Disney World now but there are definitely some weeks that are better than others.

I look back at my own Disney memories and it is those moments that made me decide that this is what I wanted to do – I wanted to become a Disney Specialist travel agent and help other families make the dream of a Disney vacation a reality.  As I considered some of the standout memories from these vacations, I realize I have different “landmark” memories from Disney vacations throughout each stage of my life.  Continue reading
