Overview

• Major holidays, spring break, and peak summer are flagged as the worst times to visit due to the combination of heavy crowds, higher costs, and harsher conditions.
• Recommended off-peak windows include late January through early March, early February, mid-May, and mid-September through early November for lighter crowds and more manageable weather.
• Single-day tickets currently range about $119 to $174 depending on the date, with Easter 2026 listed around $179, underscoring how price tiers mirror demand.
• Holiday periods such as Christmas and New Year’s can reach capacity with long waits and occasional gate closures, according to the coverage of the report.
• September may deliver lower crowd levels but carries heat and hurricane-season risks, and the analysis advises buying travel insurance if booking that month.
