Hey guys! So, as I am sure you have figured out by now, my family is not the “typical” Disney-going family. We LOVE Disney, and we LOVE doing Disney hard. For example, we always get to the Disney parks right as Extra Magic Hours are beginning and we stay until closing that night. I have never really asked my parents how we came to be this way, but I have always just assumed that it is because of the amount of money we are spending to go on this trip. We want to make sure that we can get as much out of our trips as possible.
Now, I know this may sound tiring and crazy, but I love it! My dad has always said that our family doesn’t go on vacations, we go on “trips.” While we are actually on our “trips,” we don’t relax, but I’m ok with that. We always make a lot of memories and enjoy our time together. Then when we get back home we actually relax and recover from the trip that we just took.
We have found our crazy Disney habits to be even more helpful as Walt Disney World has become even busier. There used to be some times during the year that Walt Disney World wasn’t super busy, but this isn’t the case anymore. The last time my family went to Walt Disney World was almost two years ago, and while we were there we got to talk to a cast member about the new crowd patterns. They explained to us that there really aren’t any “low crowd” days anymore. Below you can see a pretty typical explanation for the ride wait times throughout the day.
As you can see, even though there aren’t really any “low” days anymore, there are times during the day that have shorter wait times. This is where the Boyd Method 😉 comes in. By being there from opening to closing, we are there for all of the short wait times. We get to try to ride as much as possible, and we don’t have to wait for too long.
Tell me, what are your family’s Disney strategies? What do you like to do to beat the crowds? What do you think of the new Disney crowd patterns? Let me know in the comments below!
