Tips for dodging the crowds at Walt Disney World?
You got it! It is my favorite pastime after all.
🎆 Book a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party.
(My favorite is the Post-Party option. You watch the fireworks first from a noncrowded, reserved viewing area, and then you enjoy the desserts and drinks while the crowds exit the park.)
🌃 Stay late when the parks start to thin out.
(This is especially true at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.)
🎟️ Buy tickets to an after-hours event.
(The crowds are low, plus you might even experience more rides than a typical park day because the wait times are also low.)
🗓️ Avoid weekends in general.
(For Magic Kingdom, also avoid Mondays.)
🐌 Visit during “slower” times: mid-January, early March, late August, and late November (after Thanksgiving).
🍴 Dine at off times.
(Try right when they open.)
➡️ What has helped you dodge the crowds? I’m all ears.
