Are you planning on visit Walt Disney World in April? Here is everything you need to know about that time of the year:
Crowds
If Easter falls in April, expect heavy crowds leading up to it. The week of Easter is one of the busiest weeks of the year so avoid it at all costs.
Once Spring Break season is over, there is a drop in crowd levels making it one of the best times of the year to visit. Plan your trip around the last week of April and you’ll avoid the crowds and be able to enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.
Weather
April has beautiful weather and it is warm enough to bring your bathing suit. The average temperature during the day is 83F. Evenings drop into the mid 60’s. The average rainfall is 2.6 inches, but make sure you pack your ponchos.
Parks
The Magic Kingdom opens at 9 am and closes at 10 – 11 pm most nights. Evening Extra Magic Hours will see the park open as late as 1 am.
Holywood Studios is open from 9 am – 8 pm on most days while Animal Kingdom is open from 9 am – 9pm or 10 pm.
Epcot plays host to the Flower and Garden Festival which will draw heavier crowds especially on the weekends. The park opens at 9 am and closes at 9 pm except on days where it has Extra Magic Hours.
Events
The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival starts at the beginning of March and will run until early June. It is an amazing display of flowers and Disney topiaries and has delicious food from over 20 additional countries. Avoid Epcot on the weekends and choose to visit Monday or Tuesday instead.
Star Wars Half Marathon takes place in mid April and starts at the Epcot Resort and concludes at the ESPN Wide World of Sports. There is also a Dark Site Challenge, Star Wars 10k, Star Wars 5K and Kids Races.
You can also view incredible Easter egg displays at the Disney resorts.
