Frequently asked questions
Walt Disney World has four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. There are also two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach) and the Disney Springs shopping and dining district.
January, February, and September typically see the lowest crowd levels. Avoid school holiday periods (Easter, summer, Christmas) if you want shorter queues. Our crowd calendar above uses historical data to show estimated levels by month.
Start with flights to Orlando International Airport (MCO), book Disney resort accommodation or an off-site hotel, purchase park tickets (multi-day tickets offer the best value), and plan your park days around the crowd calendar. Our planning guides cover budgets, tips, and logistics specifically for UK visitors.
A rough guide for a family of four: flights from £400-800pp return, park tickets from £80-100 per day, and Disney resort hotels from £200-600 per night depending on category. Budget at least £150-200 per day for food and extras. Off-site accommodation and dining can reduce costs significantly.
