First Post! (be gentle) Teachers Best Times to Visit

[Dan Murphy]

Dan Murphy, have you been following the thread? There was discussion of the days teachers are off from work....don't be so froggy and refrain from jumping right away.

Denise was not off topic, I was.

Hi Denise. Great to see you again. Mo is 10 years old? Time flies. Hope you, Charles and Mo are all doing well. Back on topic again.

Papa Dan!!
Hi! . It has been a long time! Back on track for another Disney trip June of 2019!
Yes Mo is 10!! I'm not sure how that happened so fast! We are well! Thank you!!

Thanks everyone for even more of your comments they have convinced me not to be afraid to dive in to different times during the school year and see what happens. We are going last week in August 2019, but for 2020 I am thinking either her Feb or April break. Will report back!

My husband and I were teachers for 40 years. During those years our favorite time to go was the first of June. Now that we are retired, we go late November and early April.

My wife is a teacher, and this is what we do. Her last day this year is 5/31, and we fly out on 6/1. I don't think I could handle the holiday crowds, so I would always recommend going early in the summer, or in your case late in the summer...when parts of the country are back in school. It's hot, but the crowds seem manageable. I look forward to being able to go in the Fall/Winter again when she retires.

I don't know when your school lets out for summer, but early June can be very manageable. No way would I go Christmas or spring break. YMMV.

My kids are approaching the school holidays only age and I'd resigned myself to the very end of august for lowest crowds. The earlier post saying that July was pretty low surprised me. Has that been other people's experience also?

I'm a teacher. We went in July. The crowds were impressive but we never waited more than 20 minutes for anything (and only did that once). It's very doable if you use FastPass+ smartly and make ADRs. We had a wonderful time and they were the best holidays we've ever had. Bottom line is, I understand that you might want to find a less busy time but even with insane crowds, Disney World is marvellous. We never felt like we were swimming in a sea of people. Enjoy!
