Memorial Day Weekend at Disney World?

Question

We're going from the 20th-28th. I know it's crowded, but is only the weekend crowded, or are the few days before crowded? What about the couple days after? And what do you guys consider crowded (lines for rides)?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the last week of May is the beginning of the Summer Holidays (with all of the schools getting out, etc.).

So, yes, it's going to be crowded (of course no where near as crowded as 4th of July).

Fortunately for you, your going to be there for several days. My suggestion is to resolve to the fact that there will be crowds, relax, take your time, and use Fast Pass for all it's worth!

I'm attaching an "Attendance Chart" to help you (see below).

Answer 2

be night owls, take advantage of extra magic hours and do tons of rides w/ no lines. Use the daytime to sleep, eat, and play at the waterparks, go to the theme parks in the afternoon and evening.

Answer 3

yeah go then, it may be crowded, but it's because after that, like the first week in June, GayDays starts and it will be more crowded then.

d**n i wish i could afford to go to Orlando that week of gaydays.

Answer 4

Yes it will be very crowded--see this page on estimating future crowds at Walt Disney World: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-...

The upshot is that for major rides you can expect waits of greater than one hour after about an hour after the parks open.

See this page for suggestions on how to manage your days to avoid the crowds as best as you can--the dates don't quite fit your schedule, but you can see the principles!!:http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-...

Hope this helps--and have a great trip!!
