But one Disney fan has created a crowd calculator so potential visitors can plan their trip and avoid the hordes.

The website WDW Prep School has a Crowd Calendar for 2023 that reveals when crowds are at their highest and lowest.

According to the calendar, crowds are at their lowest through January and February but this is when temperatures are often at their coolest.

The calendar predicts crowds to be fairly light between May 1 to 5 and May 8 to 25, which could be good news for Brits who are planning a trip around the May bank holidays.

Surprisingly there are also a few spots in August and September when crowds are expected to be lighter.

From August 14 to 18 and August 21 to 31 the crowds will be light and they’ll be light throughout September.

But these light crowds could coincide with poor weather conditions such as hurricanes.

It’s likely that weekends will be busier than mid-week too, so it’s best to avoid those too.

March and April are when park goers can expect crowds to be at there highest.

If you have no choice but to holiday during those months then there are ways to avoid crowds and queues.

Staff at Disney parks use wristbands, called magic bands, which are used to gain access to the parks, as hotel room keys and to make payments at shops and restaurants, to monitor crowd levels.

To avoid queues, try getting to the park early to beat the enormous lines or enjoy the rides during the firework displays when guests are wrapped up in the illuminations.

Make a beeline for the rollercoasters furthest away from entrance when the park opens, as the lines may be shorter.

Here is a handy guide of all the park visitors who can skip the queues on a trip to Disney.
