20th - 23rd Feb.

I know it's UK school holidays - kinda hoping it's not French holidays (but have a horrible feeling it is... :| )

Cheers

april 4 - 7th? any holidays in this week? thanks for your replies!

sorry, can't help on the other ones, but maybe this here will help a bit:

mid march 2010 was okay, not too big a crowd except on st. patrick's day; then there were many people in the parks, but the firework was wonderful!

beginning of may 2008: waiting times around 30 mins for btm and attractions like that. weather was wonderful though!

We are also going around that time, and approximately half of France is on holiday at this time (including the Paris area) so it may be fairly busy. However we visited during the October half-term once (when France was on holiday) and we found the crowds very manageable, so hopefully it will be similar.

I know some UK schools are on holiday then, but not all, and French schools should not be out until the 9th April, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm not sure about other neighbouring countries though.

thanks, princess173! I checked on the other European countries and no one should be on Holiday then; only UK I counldnt check because all schools can make up their own plans (as much as I understand it).

Will the first week of October be a good time?

We are hoping to go May 2012 so planning is definitely in the very early stages at the moment. Just wondering if anyone is aware of any holidays that would impact on a stay between 21st and 25th May? I"m avoiding the following week as it will be a UK bank holiday and I suspect some schools may be on half her that week too although the schools round here are the first week of June...

Hi There,

I actually went myself at around that time in 2010 and I found it to be crazily packed. 90 Minute waits for Tower Of Terror were the minimum the whole week I was there. In comparison, I went late July the same year (when you work three and a half months straight, with no full days off without getting called in, for a rather large supermarket with a large red text based logo starting with T, you need a few weeks off!) and it was actually quieter then. Obviously, if you use your Extra magic time in the mornings and use the parade/firework showtimes to ride, you should still get everything done with time to spare!

Most UK state schools either break up on Friday 8th April or have a week either side of Easter - this is set by the local county council as to what they do. You may find that private schools will break up early.

thanks, cyclingminnie! looks like we're lucky to be there before the big crowds!

We're going 5-9 September. Does anyone know how busy it will be then and also if it will still be Summer opening times in the Parks?? Thanks.

What about February half term week (UK) ? Its 21st - 25th this year and we will be there from 18th - 22nd. I am hoping that it will be fairly quiet but i am getting conflicting reports from people i know!

Weekends tend to be busy any time of the year! I would try and take advantage of EMH if you are staying in a Disney hotel and also make the most of fastpass, you will have an amazing time though x
