Crowds week of June 6th

[dmure]

We are planning a trip 06/06/04-06/13/04. Do you know if the parks are really crowded then? I went last year at the end of July and did not think it was to bad.

The beginning of your stretch will be quite crowded because that's the tail end of Gay Week in Orlando. Definitely avoid MK on June 6, as that is Gay Day at MK, and it will be PACKED!

The rest of the week you should hit normal summer levels.

When we have visited during this timeframe, the resort and park crowds got noticeably larger as we entered the 2nd week of our visit. For this year, that would be when you are leaving WDW. Some school systems will still be in session, so I don't think you will be at peak summer levels yet, but it will be getting close. It seemed that the crowds got larger each week of June. Some of this is reflected in WDW's park hours as parks usually remain open later in the middle of June than they are at the beginning.

Definitely avoid MK on June 6, as that is Gay Day at MK, and it will be PACKED!

Gay Day at MK is always the 1st Saturday in June; this will be June 5. EPCOT is the park selected for Gay Day on June 6 and will probably not be heavily impacted, certainly not like June 5 at the MK.

crowds will be heavy but manageable the second week...typically, WDW really starts to get crowded about the third week in june as more and more schools let out for the summer....if you're staying on-site, take advantage of EMH and also remember to use fasspass...

Oops! Sorry ... misread the schedule.

We went during that week last year. There were crowds, but everything was very manageable. The rain is more of a hassle than the crowds at that time of year.
