There are periods in seasons that don’t necessarily make sense as to why Disney is busier than you would think. Disney has added events over the years to attract visitors during the less traditional periods. Since Disney has traditionally drawn families with children of school age, periods where American children are not in attendance at schools are busier. Disney has added events to draw visitors during periods where children are less likely to visit. Holidays such as President’s day, Memorial Day, and of course Thanksgiving, are much busier as well. In addition, Disney has added events such as the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot Food & Wine Festival, Professional Golf tournaments, running events such as Mini-Marathons, Cheerleading competitions, along with many others that help keep Disney resorts full and the parks busy. Of course, there are always times when there are periods where Disney just can’t draw that many visitors.
You can determine when all of Disney is the least and most busy and the demand for accommodations is by looking at the different seasons above.
