Early May in Florida...
We leave May 3rd for 10 days. I heard the parks are quieter around then (as quiet as they possibly ever could be at least!) Is this true? Naturally I’d expect them to be busier on weekends with locals. Would anyone advise it’s best to go to the parks during the week and shopping on the weekends? Any info is appreciated

When we have been in May we followed the shopping weekends and parks week days and it seemed to work for us. Now my 2 youngest are older they will think its shopping 14 days and forget the parks.

May was and still is my favorite time to go to Florida. The parks are quieter during the week and we tend to go shopping at the weekends or of an evening before or after we have eaten.

Ahh yeah will definitely avoid them on the weekends I think. When I went last time was last week of July/1st week of Aug. They were all rammed! Which was expected. Queues were insane, so Im glad to be going in May
