June Vacationers
There is so much to celebrate in June. Many students are graduating from programs, many weddings are taking place, many anniversaries to be acknowledged. So why not celebrate at the most magical place on earth. The month of June falls into two different categories on the DVC points chart. June 1st-10th is in the Dream Season, which is the middle of the road. So expect wait times to be high and the parks to be busy. June 11th-30th is in the Magic Season, the second busiest time of the year. So again, the wait times will be long and the crowds will be large. Be sure to check out the special events and activities happening at Walt Disney World. They may enhance your vacation, so check out the dates you’re planning on visiting.

June 30th
Toy Story Land Opens.
The opening of Toy Story Land. You can expect there will be soft openings the week leading up to June 30th, so you may see increased traffic at Hollywood Studios, including media representatives. Brought there to promote this new area of Hollywood Studios. If you’re not planning on doing every single park during this vacation, you may want to skip Hollywood Studios if you’re vacationing from June 25th-30th. You may find yourself in the middle of mass chaos. Save this for your next visit. When you could can discover all the areas of Toy Story Land for yourself instead of behind a cue of other guests.
June is sure to be a fantastic time to visit Walt Disney World. Take advantage of that extra Animal Kingdom hour to ride the most popular attractions. Head to ESPN Wide World of Sports and catch a baseball game or two. If we were on our way, I’d be sure to pick up a ticket to that special event at Typhoon Lagoon. Happy Planning, Friends.
