Thinking about visiting Walt Disney World in 2022 and wondering what you need to know?\u00a0 We’ve got you covered! Whether this is your first or fiftieth visit,\u00a0 planning your Walt Disney World vacation looks a little different.\u00a0 There are new phrases like theme park reservations, lightning lanes, Genie and Genie+ (what makes it plus?), sporadic cavalcades, and more!<\/p>\n

When to Visit Walt Disney World in 2022<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most popular questions about visiting Walt Disney World is “when is the best time to go?”\u00a0 \u00a0Well best is very relative.\u00a0 For some, best means the time of year their kids aren’t in school or they have approved time off from work.\u00a0 For others, it means when there’s an Epcot festival taking place (okay, there often is). \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Some guests like to know when it won’t be sweltering hot, just regular hot.\u00a0 Others want to visit when the holidays are celebrated or there are special events taking place.\u00a0 \u00a0And of course, the two popular requests – the most affordable and least crowded times of year!<\/p>\n

So let’s break it down.\u00a0 You know what your family calendar looks like so knowing the dates of school vacations and earned time off is easy.<\/p>\n

    Weather<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The best days of the year with the most comfortable temperatures are … got you didn’t we? \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 We wish we were that good!\u00a0 We’ve been in February and November during heat waves and frozen our tails off in January the same year.\u00a0 We can tell you that you can be pretty sure that April-October will be hotter than November-March.\u00a0 Rainfall is heaviest June through September but that can be just a flash thunderstorm!<\/p>\n

    When we consider the weather, we tend to consider the weather we currently are and thing that Orlando has it beat most days. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    Holiday Events<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Nobody does the holidays like Walt Disney World!\u00a0 Who else starts celebrating Halloween in August? That’s right!\u00a0 August.\u00a0 While Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party evolved to Disney’s After Hours Boo Bash<\/a> this past fall, Magic Kingdom got its fall and Halloween decor for all guests to see late summer.<\/p>\n

    Have you heard of the holiday transition at Walt Disney World?\u00a0 That’s when overnight, not only does Halloween and fall decor come down, but Christmas goes up!\u00a0 It’s one of the most magical changes that occurs.\u00a0 Just days after Halloween, you can find Christmas in the Magic Kingdom.\u00a0 While every theme park gets decorated, and each resort has its own gorgeous trees, these all go up over about a 2 week period post Halloween.\u00a0 And if you haven’t visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios during the holidays, plan it now!\u00a0 It goes all in for Christmas!<\/p>\n

    Guests loved the Very Merriest After Hours Event<\/a> and we’re expecting similar events to occur in 2022!\u00a0 Disney Springs does the holidays right with its Christmas Tree Stroll and there are special holiday snacks and beverages that have us returning every year!<\/p>\n
