worst time to visit the world

[murphy]

I KNOW THERE iS NO BAD TIME TO VISIT WDW but of all the times of the year to go which would you consider the worst time of year??

 

[The_CEO]

Mid July

 

[murphy]

Thank you for your opinion. Is june any better in any way?

IMHO, Summer time in general because it´s too hot and because there is nothing 'else' going on (no Festivals or celebrations in the parks) and that´s when the attractions usually get maintenance done.

June is nicer if you catch Flower and Garden Festival - Epcot just looks amazingly prettier!

The beginning of June isn't too bad. But from then on, its real crowded.

 

[Tolkien]

what about mid februrary?

 

[tigsmom]

DO NOT go in August. Thats when we made our last 2 trips.....hot, humid and rain everyday.

We love to go in February or March...crowds are down, the weather is nice and we get out of the Northeast's winter for awhile. :sohappy:

Heading to Florida for Easter, but no WDW trip planned this year (but I'm still trying to work in a day trip, at least.) :wave:

Hey!! We go in February a lot too!!!!!! The last time we went in April was alright, but the first time which was in 2001 the crowd was so small, the heat wave (with record breaking temps of 102º+ each day) made everyone go to the water parks so the lines were really small, except Peter Pan's Flight where the line was still 35-50 minutes...also becareful about April, 2003 (this year) we had Senior Night so that week seniors graduating from school were there the entire time, throwing shoes and what not on TTA, quit annoying, and they were really loud and annoying when we were on CoP....anyway that's an entirely different story...

I'M BACK!! HAHA :lol: , when I was there in April of 2003 (again) we saw EPCOT transform from a regular Epcot to a flower festival Epcot, the flowers were amazing, I really liked the flower "statue" of Goofy...haha. Although part of the east and west wing with stores and eateries was closed to be re-made into the flower festival area with hanging butterflies...

Nighttime. The parks are closed, and they don't like people sneaking on property. Another bad time would be the 1800s since the park wasn't around then.

September is one of the best times. Particularly the middle of September. I have also heard that the first couple of weeks in December are good times as well. However we are looking for the worst aren't we. Definitely the week of the 4th of July. There are probably more people there at that time than anywhere.

My family usually goes in Feb, however we went once in May and I went once in August. It was too hot in the middle of the summer. A little drift, but what is it like in March during spring break? we want to do a magical gatherings for my grandparents 50 anniversary, but it lies during spring break.

I went during Easter of 1999, and it was absolutely the worst time. There may be nice flower decorations around, but the crowds were unbearable. wait times for Splash Mountain and Test Track were 1hr 45 minutes. That just doesn't leave you with lots of time to do more things. Weather wasn't too bad. I actually went in May of this year and it was a nice time. Crowds weren't too bad, weather wasn't too hot yet either. I'd avoid Easter, Christmas, and summertime(mostly because of the heat)

We did it in March of 2000 during a school break for my little brothers. It was packed. I won't go again at that time. We usually go in Fall or Winter.

Though I would rather be in a packed WDW than here in NJ anyday.

I WAS WORKING THERE THEN!! I have to agree! The crowds I experienced during that Easter were unbelievable and seemed bigger than during Christmas time the previous year! I don´t know if that´s common every year, but I swear, it was more exhausting than the Holiday Season. (Add the heat to that... of course.)

We go on my spring break every year, which of course varied a lot more when I was in high school than it does now. In my experience, the last week of March, the first two weeks of April, and the days right before and after Easter WHENEVER it falls are always crowded. We've been lucky the past couple of years...my SB has been in the middle of March and we've not had too many problems.

 

[Lord Alfred]

My honest answer to your question is:

Any time schools are out.

 

[josh_e_washie]

I think the worst time to go is in the mid summer, but the best time for me is the weekend after thanksgiving to the week before christmas. The lines are SO short and you get to experience all of the christmas decorations!

Spring break is crowded (for us last year it was the week after Easter). I understand we missed the really big crowds.

In general I'd say the summer cause it's just too dang hot. But I've heard the end of August is good, that the crowds go down. May have to try that because with a freshman in high school it's getting harder and harder to miss any school at all.
