Getting the most from your Disney trip during this busy time of year
April is such a wonderful month to visit the Walt Disney World® Resort. The weather is generally warm enough to enjoy the resort swimming pool and water parks but not as hot or humid as the summer months. Most of the winter repairs and refurbishments are complete and the flowers - as always - look wonderful. The dates for school and college Spring Breaks vary widely but Easter is in March this year so that holiday won't increase the April crowd levels.
Some of the Disney resorts and restaurants are already fully booked for the first two weeks of April so it is very important that we get your plans set as soon as possible.
Great information to help with your Disney World vacation planning.
