Here’s when Disney will be busiest for Spring Break 2020
Families don’t always get to choose exactly when they can go on vacation. A trip to Disneyland and Walt Disney World is often determined by when school is out — and that means Spring Break and Summer Recess.
Spring Break is a popular time for both parks as those in north and midwest states seek relief from the cold and snow. Disney World is also busy during certain weeks in March and April as it hosts a variety of cheerleading competitions.
If you’re thinking about a Spring Break trip to Disney, it’s time to start planning. Start thinking about when you are going and what you want to do, especially at Disney World, where you can make dining reservations six months out and FastPass selections 60 days in advance.
So, how busy will it be? In 2020, most Spring Breaks fall between March 14 and April 19, with the weeks of March 15 and April 5 the busiest two weeks. The week of April 5 ends with the Easter Holiday, April 12.
To help offset the crowds, Disneyland and Disney World often extend theme parks hours, and there are normally special events taking place during the two months. At Disney World, the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival takes place March 4-June 1, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Mickey Shorts are expected to open at Hollywood Studios.
At Disneyland, the new Magic Happens parade is expected to kick off in time for Spring Break, as well as the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.
Below you will find our calendar showing what kind of crowds you can expect. Below that, you can find out when each state’s Spring Break is scheduled.
