Our family of four is planning to go to DLR the week after Easter in 2027. We will definitely be in store for some HEAVY crowds…yikes! But, my husband is super excited about the idea of doing a Disney park with little to no humidity (we are WDW people, and our last trip was a HOT one in mid-May 2025)!

Any word on when the summer ticket deal will end yet? Hoping our first week of August trip doesn’t end up in the use it or lose it rush…

In reply to Mike.

IIRC, you said before you’re doing weekdays earlier in May? Not the final week of the ticket deal, right?

So long as you’re not in that final week, I think you’re still in pretty good shape. At least, on weekdays. It’ll definitely be busier than it would’ve been in the absence of a deal, but it’s important to remember that the Disneyland crowd is late-arriving and weekdays still aren’t as bad.

Use the time change to your advantage and do rope drop, have a strong plan of attack, and knock out as much as possible before 11 am. If you do that and you buy Lightning Lanes, you’re golden. Even one or the other should be just fine. You’ll still have a great time!

Not blaming Tom at all because there’s no way he could have known, but seeing our dates go from one of the best times to visit when we booked to now one of the worst is incredibly disheartening. I did a lot of research on this to try and make sure it wasn’t going to be extremely crowded, not even because of long waits but more so of the fact that walking all day through a sea of people does not seem relaxing. The ticket offer came out after we booked and there’s nothing we can do about it, but unfortunately we are no longer really looking forward to the trip

Hey Tom, was checking our DL Sept dates with your list. We’re WDW people who booked DL DVC on a whim for Wed-Sun after Labor Day. Like our chances!
Just wanted to let you know: “Around Labor Day (September 8-13, 2026; September 7-12, 2026) – The week starting the Tuesday after Labor Day has been the least busy of the entire year for 3 of the last 5 years.”
I think the second 2026 was meant to be 2027 in your article?

Just visited DL Feb 5th, 2026. Amazing warm sunny weather and ghost town crowds. Absolute delight and a perfect escape from winter weather.
