Disney World Crowd Calendar March 2020
Spring Break Season! March 2020 and early April 2020 are typically a BUSY time to visit Walt Disney World. The crowds will remain Heavy to Insane through the entire month due to a variety of school spring breaks. Be sure to follow my recommendations here on the Disney World Crowd Calendar for March 2020.
The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival begins in March and runs until Late May and it creates a slight increase in crowds, but affects Epcot more on the weekends than at other times. The concert lineup for Garden Rocks haven’t been announced yet. It’s rare that rides are closed during this month, but check my Attraction Refurbishment page closer to your date to verify. We do know that the Walt Disney World Railroad and Tomorrowland Speedway will be closed.
While March 2019 is typically busy, you can manage them with good touring plans and Fastpass+ usage. I’ve set touring records during some of the busiest days, so I know what I’m talking about. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World resort, rise early on your Magic Kingdom day and take advantage of the early opening of the Magic Kingdom.
Avoid the trap of visiting a park on its longest hours day. More people will be there and the wait times can be 30% to 100% higher than other days.
What will the weather be like during your March trip?
- Average high temperature: 78°F
- Average low temperature: 54°F
- Mean temperature: 66°F
- Record high temperature: 92°F (1963)
- Record low temperature: 25°F (1980)
- Average Precipitation: 4.01 in.
Weather in Orlando in March tends to be mild, but evenings can feel chilly, so bring a hoodie or jacket. It still rains some times, but not like it does here in the summer.
Should I use Extra Magic Hours privilege?
If you are a Disney World hotel guest who is planning to use Extra Magic Hours, use the morning ones. The morning ones are a great benefit, if you leave after lunch or parade time. Avoid the parks that offer evening Extra Magic Hours because they have large crowds at night and many rides have long lines (Hollywood Studios and Epcot). I used to recommend the Magic Kingdom late EMH, but only the final hour has any benefit. If you choose a Late Extra Magic Hour park, you should plan to sleep in the next day.

My Disney World Crowd Calendar for February 2020 will be a mostly moderate crowd month, except President’s Week and the Princess Half Marathon Weekend, when the crowds can become quite substantial. The only event scheduled is the Epcot Festival of the Arts, so we might find a few attractions down for refurbishment. Those refurbishments are typically listed a few months before hand. Water rides may be closed. Check my 
Disney World Crowd Calendar August 2019 brings us an insanely hot and rainy month. It’s the second wettest month historically, so expect an afternoon thunderstorm most days of your vacation. I know it’s known as the “Sunshine State,” but that is just a marketing ploy. It rains often here, especially in the summer. The first week and a half of August is end of the busy summer travel season at Walt Disney World, so the parks are quite crowded initially. The parks begin to lighten around mid-month and will continue with moderate crowds through the rest of the month. The last week of August is the best time to visit Walt Disney World in the summer season, if you children haven’t started school or you are willing to allow them to miss time. September is the preferred month as far as crowds are concerned and is among the best times to visit. Regardless of the times you can still enjoy the parks by going to a green park, arriving at least 45 minutes before rope drop and following one of my 
The Disney World Crowd Calendar June 2019 begins the busy summer season at Walt Disney World, so the crowd calendar is basically Orange for Heavy Crowds. You can still enjoy the parks by going to a green park, arriving at least 60 minutes before rope drop and following one of my
