Busiest Times to Visit |

The traditional quieter times are getting less so, as more people realise that they are a good time to visit, and Disney puts on new events to increase visitor numbers during those times, like free dining.
Other examples being October when Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party attracts more crowds during the month
More people are also visiting in early December to see the Christmas decorations and attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
