Least crowded weekend of the year?

[BrianV]

I know that week days are less crowded in general but if you could take a weekend down to wdw, which weekend would be the least crowded of the whole year?

My guess would be the weekend in January that is after the marathon and before MLK holiday weekend.

There isn't one. Marathon is 1/10 and MLK is 1/18.

Then I would pick the first or last weekend in January.

First weekend might have some hangover from New Year's. Totally agree about the last weekend though. Once you're out of the way of holidays and marathon, everyone stays home nursing their bank accounts back to good health. Nobody is traveling then.

I hadn't thought of January. We went a few years back the first week of January and it was packed that weekend, probably spillover from New Years. End of January is brilliant.

I was thinking early September. Or post thanksgiving December.

Early September is labor day. Plus it's still stupid hot. The first week of December is a good choice also, if you don't mind traveling that close to Christmas.

True, but I don't mind the heat. Actually in Florida on vacation right now down in ft Myers. Last year was wdw and then the beach. This year UO then the beach. For me highest priority is low crowds and all other priorities are unimportant.

Our school disctrict in boston suburbs often has random teacher days off, sometimes on a Friday or a Monday. When that happens, we try to get cheap flights down here. Just don't want to come down during high crowds. Did that this past year over spring break. We had a blast, but I would avoid doing again.

The weekend after labor day.

Early September is also the weekend after Labor Day. As Mukta said that's one of the least busy weekends.

The OP didn't ask about when it's hot. Some people can handle a little hot weather.

Wh... no it isn't. Labor Day is September 7 this year, September 5 next year. Thus, the week AFTER Labor Day would be the 14th / 12th. That's squarely "mid" September, not early September.

We were once there the last weekend in January - Superbowl weekend. Crowds were quite low.

Every season has a lower season. For the F&G festival we like to go after spring break and before Star Wars week. F&W festival we like to go 2-3 weeks after it starts. Christmas we like to go the Saturday a whole 9 days after thanksgiving for that week
