![]() Weeks 21-28 have one thing in common: they occur during the peak of the hurricane season. Note: in May 2017 I changed the crowd forecast for the week of 12/16/17 to “moderate+.” This would shift it into this group, with a ranking after 20 and before 21. However, crowds may be higher than my forecast. The week after Easter is usually quite bad, but the late Easter in 2016 has moderated the number of kids on break, especially after Easter Monday. Moreover, crowds may be higher than my forecast. My draft of this material had this as a better week, but the late-arriving crowd facts ended up not supporting such a position. Beginning of summer–similar crowds to week 17, but slightly higher prices in deluxes 17: 8/5/17 Moderate-plus crowds as the summer season begins to fade away.16: 10/8/17. Columbus Day week, with higher crowds and prices than the great weeks (ranked 7, 8 and 4) that follow it.15: 5/20/17 Similar to week 12, slightly more heat and humidity and crowds.Crowds moderate-minus, prices low to moderate, almost never with major discounts. 14 : 11/4/17.“ Jersey Week”-teacher meetings in New Jersey, leading to a massive temporary immigration of New Jersey families to Orlando.They are in order of least to most crowded, and within crowd groups are sorted by price. I don’t particularly recommend moderate-crowd weeks for first time visitors, but they are quite manageable, and I would go myself such weeks with no hesitation. Weeks 14-20 all have moderate crowd levels, with different prices and weather. This completes the weeks in 2017 that are recommended. Week 13 is the second-best 2017 Spring Break week, with low crowds and moderate prices Weeks 9 to 12 are all in the same 2017 post-Easter stretch, and share low crowds, moderate prices, and nice spring weather. They are in calendar order, as the weather is better earlier in this period These are near-tied, but are in calendar order as the better weather is earlier this time of year Weeks 7 and 8 are similar to week 4 but projected at slightly higher crowds. Weeks 6 is your best 2017 Spring Break bet, with low crowds and moderate prices It has low crowds and prices, and Disney World’s holiday program at the Magic Kingdom will be in place Week 4 has lower prices and crowds, and offers in its first few days Disney World’s Halloween program Those intending to stay at a value resort, Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs should consider avoiding this week and target week 1 or 2 instead, as Pop Warner guests may make these resorts boisterous this week ![]() However, this is a week that, because of Pop Warner football demand for resort rooms, is rarely discounted beyond its already low prices. Largely a terrific week with low crowds, low prices and wonderful holiday programs. ![]() A week as good as week 1 on crowds and holiday programs. Slightly more expensive, however, than weeks 1 or 3 Weeks 2 and 3 have many, but not all, of the strengths of week 1: The first Saturday of this week overlaps with Thanksgiving crowds, but the rest of it will be marvelous: Week number one has it all–lower crowds, lower prices and wonderful Christmas programs and decorations. The thirteen recommended weeks that follow are wonderful weeks to visit Walt Disney World in 2017. For more how I build these rankings, see this.) RECOMMENDED 2017 WEEKS, RANKED IN ORDER (For 2018 rankings, see this, and for 2019 rankings, see this. Other factors are key as well–the Christmas season, ride closure season and hurricane season in particular. These week rankings are based on my 2017 Disney World Crowd Calendar and on the 2017 Walt Disney World price seasons. These rankings are designed for first time visitors who do not know whether or not they will return.įor visitors on a return trip, less concerned about ride closures or the peak of the hurricane season, the later January, early February, and September weeks would be ranked much higher. If you can’t go then, presented below are my rankings of the weeks of 2017 in order of best to worst times to visit Disney World. This site recommends arriving at Walt Disney World one of the first three Saturdays after Thanksgiving.
