Summer Vacation is rapidly approaching and it is definitely time to start planning! Now, I know what you’re thinking – is summer really a good time to go to Disney?
I mean, is there really a BAD time to go to Disney? No…I don’t think so! Is summer hot? Yup. BUT even as a Northern New England native, I can tell you, it is totally manageable. I can also say that crowd levels are not as bad as you’d think. While kids are out of school, making it seem like they would be flocking to the parks, the heat still moderates the crowds. If the crowds were huge, Disney wouldn’t be dropping promos!

So far, a lot of the details are secret, but it looks like Stitch is in on the fun at Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland, Storybook Circus will have some added magic, and Goofy will bring some excitement over at EPCOT! Also, if you’re staying onsite, be sure to take advantage of early theme park entry for some additional exclusive character meet and greets.
Are you thinking of staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort or Disney’s Wilderness Lodge? Families at these 4 resorts will get to see additional character visits with set appearance time, and expanded activity options for your family.
