2. When To Visit?

When planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, the obvious first step is to figure out when you're going to go! Resort pricing fluctuates throughout the year, depending on how busy the parks typically are, so if you're looking for the best value and pricing for your vacation, your best bet is to book during traditionally slower travel times of the year. More popular travel times (think: school & statutory holidays) are priced higher because of greater demand.  Here is a breakdown of roughly the best and worst times to travel to WDW, courtesy of Intercot:
