    Hi my family are planning to come to WDW around Jan 30 to Feb 6 of 2027.I hear some rumors about a cheer competition being held around the time frame of our trip. How much does this affect crowd levels in the parks and Disney spring ?

    Hiya Zach,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your cheer question! As a cheer parent, I can tell you that there is something so exciting about seeing teams from all over the country at Disney World. These athletes bring so much energy and spirit to the parks. There is nothing quite like hearing teams celebrating after a great performance or spotting cheer bows all around Main Street.  

    Now, let's jump right into your question. Based on the current ESPN Wide World of Sports event schedule, there do not appear to be any cheer events scheduled during your visit. Of course, schedules can always change, so I recommend checking back as your trip gets closer just in case any new events are added. I also know, as a cheer mom, that our cheer competition schedule has not been solidified yet, so I am sure that as you check back a little later in the summer months and in the year, you may find some changes to the schedule. 

    Zach, if you're looking to make the most of your park day and spend more time making memories than waiting in line, I definitely recommend looking into Lightning Lane. Lightning Lane Single Pass lets you purchase a pass for a single attraction with shorter waits, while Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows you to choose up to three experiences before your visit. After you've redeemed your first selection, you'll be able to continue making additional Lightning Lane selections throughout the day, subject to availability. 

    One of my family's favorite ways to save time is by using Mobile Order in the My Disney Experience app. We simply choose a pickup time that fits our plans, and when we arrive, we tap "I'm Here, Prepare My Order." It's so convenient, letting us spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying all the Disney magic. 

    Zach, I hope this helps answer your question! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to stop by and visit us again. 

    See ya real soon,
