✅ Best Times to Visit in 2026
Based on current projections, the following periods are expected to have lower crowd levels:
Late January to Early February: Cooler weather and fewer school breaks make this a quieter time. Note that EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts runs during this period but doesn’t significantly impact crowds.
Late August to Mid-September: Many families have returned to school, and the heat deters some visitors, leading to lighter crowds.
Early November: Before the Thanksgiving rush, this period offers mild weather and lower attendance.
🚫 Busiest Times to Avoid
Certain periods are traditionally more crowded due to holidays and school breaks:
Spring Break (March to Early April): Varies by region but generally sees increased attendance.
Summer Peak (Late June to Late July): School vacations and warm weather attract many visitors.
Thanksgiving Week: Families often travel during this holiday, leading to higher crowds.
Christmas to New Year’s Week: One of the busiest times of the year, with massive crowds and extended park hours.
