We did mid September last year and it worked out well. Some of the lightest crowds of the year. Also have option to do Halloween parties. We were walking on most MK rides before noon on Halloween party days. Heat is bearable especially if you take mid day pool and nap breaks.Hi all! What does everyone think is the best time of year to take young (5/6 and 3/4) kids?
I was planning for spring break 2025 - the week of March 24th. I thought with a late Easter, nice weather, flower and garden festival, genie+, lightning lanes, and early entry could make it bearable. I’m having second thoughts after seeing spring break 2024 and which districts line up with our plans next year. We have a 5 year old (6 in November 2024) and a 3 year old (4 in March 2025). We were fairly confident that by March 2025 our youngest would be above the 40” and oldest 44”.
Also having second thoughts because I see Miami, Chicago, broward, palm beach, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Washington DC all have spring break the week of March 24, 2025.
With my kids so young (kindergarten and pre-k), I think we are just going to take them out of school to avoid crowds and potentially save a little money. However, I still would like to avoid extreme heat/humidity, hurricane season, etc., but it would be nice to use the pool.
What do you think are the best times to take young kids to avoid intense crowds, extreme heat, rain, etc.?
We start school beginning of August so able to get a full month in before pulling them out. Think a lot of families avoid September as they have just started school then in many areas of the country. Also hurricanes can be an issue.
