I'm assuming that by "slowest time," you mean when the business is slowest. You need an attendance record for Walt Disney World...
Disney states:
The Lowest Attendance --
* January (except New Year's Day) until just prior to Presidents' Week in February
* The week following Labor Day until the week prior to Thanksgiving
* The week following Thanksgiving until mid-December
More Moderate Attendance:
* After Presidents' week in February through early March
* Late April through early June (except Memorial Day weekend)
* Columbus Day Weekend (October)
* The first part of Thanksgiving week
Highest Attendance:
* Presidents' week in February
* Mid March through Late April ("Spring Break")
* Memorial Day weekend
* Mid June through Labor Day
* Thanksgiving Day and weekend
* Christmas week through New Year's Day
A recent inquiry of Disney regarding which days to visit which parks had the following response:
"During regular attendance periods, our parks tend to be the busiest on the following days:
* Magic Kingdom: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday
* Epcot: Tuesday and Friday
* Disney-MGM Studios: Sunday and Wednesday
* Disney's Animal Kingdom: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday"
Obviously, the dates with the lowest attendance are the best times to go if you're looking for shorter wait times and less crowds.
Hope this helps! |

If you are looking to avoid the massive crowds-NEVER DO CHRISTMAS or NEW YEAR!!
September isn't bad (kids are back in school)
First 2 weeks of December, and anytime after New Year in January. |

I went first week in January - it was EMPTY. Walked on to space mountain with less than 5 minute wait. Same thing with all the big rides. We did everything we wanted at least twice and the day wasn't near over yet. Plus its a bit cooler in January than August - I just got back again 2 weeks ago and it was miserably hot and lines were up to 90 minutes long. |

According to the Disney site, the slowest time of the year is Nov-Dec.
We went to Orlando last Nov.25 thru Dec 16 and it was NOT crowded at all. There was no wait over 5 to 10 min. long for any ride ot activity there and the weather was perfect every day. Hope this helps. Have fun! |

The last two times that I went to Disney were in mid August and early November. August was hot, but don't let that discourage you- most attractions are inside. The waterparks did fill up fast and early in August, but the rest of the parks are nearly empty. The first week of November was perfect. We were able to see the Halloween decorations up at the beginning of our trip and by the end of the week, the Christmas decorations were slowly being brought out. Both times the parks were empty. We were getting fast passes for attractions and not having to use them. We used the fast pass only once the whole week that we were there in November. Also, in November the Epcot's Food and Wine Festival is taking place, which was very neat.
Check out www.allearsnet.com , www.wdwinfo.com , and www.disboards.com for a great discussion board. The people on disboards are extremely helpful and there are some real experts over there. Having been when the crowds are so thin, I don't think I'll ever go back during a busy season. It was so nice not having to battle crowds, wait long times for rides/busses, etc. |

This one is a little surprising, but the slowest times at Disney World are Saturdays in late September...
Nearly all the people who attend the theme parks visit for a week, but by Saturday those ending their weeks are burned out on Disney parks and those traveling TO Orlando are enjoying long trips in their cars or on airplanes during that day. Mondays historically have been the busiest days, as the tourists arriving for the week on Saturday and Sunday are hitting the Disney parks first.
By late September (After Labor Day), all the kids are back in School, the summer vacations are done, and the winter cold hasn't yet set in for the Northern parts of the U.S., so tourism slows in September/October. |

Any thing in the off season when school is in session. never follow the map. Start with the last thing and go backwards. |
