During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, Walt Disney World seemingly became more crowded than ever. Most Guests had missed out on two years’ worth of the annual Disney vacation trip, so all at once, many fans decided it was the best time to visit.
For a while, it seemed like there was no off-season at Walt Disney World Resort…now, things are returning to normal. Or they were, at least. Currently, Guests visiting the Disney Parks are dealing with a different kind of crowd: the spring break crowd.
Spring Break is here and it's about to be busyyyy! Approximately 7.3 million travelers are expected to pass through the airport over the 46-day Spring Break travel period which starts tomorrow, March 4th, and runs through April 18th. ✈️
