Then later on in the year, most days in August, and September, as well as most weekdays in October are generally the cheapest times to visit.
A trip at this time of year also has the added bonus of cooler temperatures — or, to superfans, Spirit Jersey weather. Disney World's least busy month, though, is almost always September.
October 2023The growing popularity of fall breaks in schools means that October is far busier than it used to be. Halloween entertainment continues at Magic Kingdom, including the very popular Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The International Food and Wine Festival will be in full swing over at Epcot.
