Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jessica! I have just the tool for you to plan both your vacation dates and which days you should spend at the parks!
I never take a vacation to
Walt Disney World Resort without consulting the Undercover Tourist Crowd Calendar (you can google that). This site offers a full dated calendar where you can look up exact dates and days of the week to see how crowded the area is expected to be. You’ll even see which parks you may want to avoid on any given day, or those that you should think about attending. I find that historically late January and early May are fantastic times to go, though you will find a variety of weekends that may suit your schedule. You'll most certainly want to see the new
Toy Story Land offerings in Disney's Hollywood Studios and experience the plush VIP
Minnie Vans as you travel from Park to Park.
If I can help you find some off-the-beaten-path activities to help enchant your vacation, please let me know. You’ve got a friend in me! ~ Lindsey P.
