I know I say this all of the time, but now is one of the absolute best times to book a trip to Disney World. In anticipation of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening in the fall, a lot of people are opting not to travel to Disney this summer. Makes sense if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan and think you may only make it to Disney once. Why would you go before it opens?
But if you are more into the other Disney characters and attractions, or think you might be able to go again in a couple of years, you should definitely take advantage of the crowds and deals for the summer.
Disney recently released some room specials and even free dining in some cases for the summer months which is unheard of. Typically that’s a peak time for Disney World travel and they don’t need to offer discounts. But with a lot of people putting off a trip until Star Wars opens, the crowds are expected to be down this summer.
Now don’t get me wrong - it’s still summer and there will be crowds but it will be much less than when Star Wars opens. And getting a discount always helps put up with a bit of a crowd, right?
The current specials run through September 30 and if you were able to travel in September, you’d have even smaller crowds.
And if you’re able to get a room with a discount, the price may be good enough that you could go before and after Star Wars opens! Maybe wait a couple of years for your repeat trip and the crowds should level off a bit.
You may not think you need multiple trips but honestly, EVERY SINGLE TIME we go to Disney, I find new wonderful things. One trip is never enough in my opinion. Plus, how else are you going to get adorable time-lapse pics of your family with Mickey if you don’t go visit him every now and again?? On a side note - why does Mickey never age like we do?! :)
Call me to get your trip planned and booked. For late summer and early fall trips, you’d still have time to take advantage of me getting your Advanced Dining Reservations 180 days in advance. And of course, 60 days for FastPasses.
