The most common question I receive from people considering a Disney World trip is “when is the best time to go to have the best experience?”
Although I have written in the past about the best/worst times (take a look here), we’re getting to the point where crowd levels are going to be high no matter the time. With Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening, crowds will be flocking to the parks in droves.
Disney is currently running a marketing campaign called “Now More than Ever!” and I couldn’t agree more. I wouldn’t normally recommend visiting in the middle of the summer due to the crowds and heat. But it will be a while until the crowds slow down after Star Wars opens.
So you’ve got until the end of August to get there and enjoy what is turning out to be a slower summer for the parks. A lot of people are putting off trips until Star Wars opens and that leaves rooms open this summer. Disney has even put out a rare summer offer to lower the costs of some rooms. In fact, in looking at a quote for a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids, for 5 nights with a 4 day park hopper ticket in June, you’re looking at less than $3000. That’s typically one of the higher priced times to travel to Disney so a great deal at the moment. Costs will most likely just keep going up from here with all of the new attractions/resorts/entertainment options heading to the World.
