Best Weeks in 2026

The strongest stretches are Jan 12-30, Feb 3-12, May 4-14, and Sep 14-24. Those windows avoid the biggest school-break overlaps and usually sit in lower demand price bands.

Worst Weeks in 2026

The roughest dates cluster in Mar 23-Apr 10, late June through July, Oct 12-31, and Dec 18-31. Those periods stack school-out travel, weekends, and peak seasonal demand. If October is still on the table, read the October crowd guide before you treat it like a normal fall trip.

How to Use This Calendar

Start by ruling out Saturdays. Next, target Tuesday through Thursday dates inside the greener stretches. Finally, validate those dates against the best-times guide and the school-breaks calendar before you lock in hotels or tickets.

Strategist's Warning

Beyond the Colors

A Steadier day in July still feels busier than a Steadier day in February. Summer has higher baseline demand, longer park hours, and slower-moving lines. If you’re planning a summer trip, read the July crowd guideto see what the scores actually feel like on the ground.
