A successful Disney trip starts well before you touch down in Orlando.
You need hotel reservations, ground transportation, park reservations and tickets, and those coveted advanced dining reservations, also known as ADRs.
But the very first (and most important) decision you’ll make is when to go.
When deciding, I look up Disney World crowd calendars that use past park-attendance data to predict how busy parks may be on a given day.
By finding less-busy times, you’ll get to ride more attractions and (maybe) have an easier time getting reservations. Plus, ticket prices are typically lower outside of peak season.
WDW Magazine, Magic Guides, and Undercover Tourist are just a few of the sites I’ve seen that offer these calendar tools.
