It's tempting... Not only are prices lower during school time, but the crowds thin out considerably.




One of the hardest decisions when planning a Disney vacation is deciding when to go should you take the kids out of school? Is it really tucson arizona hotel that bad in July? And are peak travel times different for international guests? Here's a cheat sheet of the best times to visit Disney Parks worldwide.
The off-season for the Walt Disney World Resort has gotten shorter each year as more families visit year-round in an effort to beat the crowds. Bear in mind that it takes five to six days to visit the entire Disney World resort.
With two theme parks, Disneyland California usually caters to more locals and can be done in two or three days. The recently renovated California Adventure is drawing a lot of attention though, so prepared for this park to be the more crowded of the two.
When to Visit: Winter is an excellent time, with the exception of the two weeks surrounding Christmas. And anytime during the school tucson arizona hotel year, crowds are better during the week, as California locals turn out mostly on Saturdays and Sundays and over three day weekends.
When to Avoid: Summer and Christmas. With kids out of school, the parks will be crowded throughout the week. If absolutely necessary to visit during these times, try to visit in early June or the week before Christmas.
Currently Disneyland Hong Kong is only one park, and can easily be done in one day. Located on the same island as the airport, consider this for the first day of your vacation; it is an excellent way to ease your children into a different culture.
Consisting of two parks, Disneyland Paris takes two to three days to enjoy. Consider spending a full day to view the shopping district, Disney Village, and the many elaborate hotels Disneyland Paris has to offer.
When to Avoid: Summers of course! It's crowded and it's Tokyo's rainy season. And it doesn't just rain for thirty minutes like in California or Florida it will pour all day, to the degree that a special roof was built over Main Street to protect it from the elements. Golden Week, a Japanese holiday that generally falls the first week of May, can be mobbed, as are weekends year round.
It's tempting... Not only are prices lower during school time, but the crowds thin out considerably. The best way to tackle taking the kids out of school is to be prepared. With younger kids, talk to their teachers and see if a special project can take the place of some school work such as a first-grader making a picture book for the alphabet or a fifth grader creating their own math problems based on crowd flow. For older kids, make sure they get as much of their work beforehand as possible. Nothing is worse than returning from a week of vacation tucson arizona hotel to find a mountain of homework for the next month.
