Visiting Walt Disney World in June 2025
If you’re considering a trip to Walt Disney World in June, it’s important to note that the summer months have traditionally been a popular time to visit the parks. One of the main reasons for this is that families can take vacations without disrupting their children’s school schedules. And while you’ve probably heard that summer is one of the busiest times at Disney World, things have definitely evolved over the years. With numerous events taking place throughout the year now, the park has effectively spread out the crowds, resulting in a more consistent level of attendance across all seasons. Additionally, the summer months bring high temperatures, which can be a deterrent for some visitors.
As a result, many families are now opting to visit Disney World at other times of the year to avoid the summer heat and potential crowds. While summer crowds still exist, they are not as overwhelming as they once were. So rest assured, June is still a magical time to plan a vacation to Disney World!

News and Updates for 2025
- Beginning July 24, 2024, Walt Disney World will roll out new, simplified names for its services. Disney Genie+ will be rebranded as Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while Individual Lightning Lane will be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass. These updated passes will merge features from current services and the previous FastPass+ service, allowing guests to book experiences in advance. With the upgrade, guests can make Lightning Lane plans 7 days before arrival for resort guests and 3 days before for non-resort guests.
June At-a-Glance
- Don’t forget to pack your sunscreen! Temperatures in June are definitely heating up! The summer sun in Florida can also be a bit intense. And while Disney offers many ways to cool off, you will definitely want to be prepared with sunscreen.
- Mornings are a great time to visit the pools. Due to the hotter temperatures, the pools can get quite busy during the heat of the day as well as in the evenings when guests return from a day in the parks. Consider visiting in the mornings when they will be less busy.
- Major refurbishments are not typically common in June. Disney tends to schedule their refurbishments during less busy seasons, but that doesn’t mean closures can’t or won’t happen in June.
June Events
There are currently no major events scheduled for June 2025, but we will keep you posted as Disney makes announcements for next year!
Walt Disney World (as well as ESPN Wide World of Sports) typically hosts several athletic events each month. These events don’t usually have a major impact on crowds in the parks, but they will likely affect resort availability and crowds at Disney’s value resorts. Here are the events scheduled so far in June:
- The Ripken Experience at Walt Disney World Resort – June 8-July 11, 2025
With no major holidays in the month of June, one might think that the parks are less crowded, but this is simply not the case. Most schools are finishing up during the month of June, which makes it a peak time for Disney World vacations, especially near the end of the month. Father’s Day falls on June 15, 2025, but this shouldn’t affect crowds too much. Just be sure to make any special dinner reservations early.

June Weather
Overall, the weather in Orlando is quite hot in June. The average high is 90 degrees and the low is typically around 71 degrees. It is also the start of Orlando’s rainy season. That being said, most rain in June will come in short “spurts” rather than be an all-day thing. Brief afternoon downpours are very typical, so packing ponchos would be smart. The good news is that rain is better than hurricanes, which can happen later in the year during hurricane season.
June Disney World Crowd Calendar
Crowd calendars are very popular, but they can also be a bit unpredictable. It’s best not to completely rely on them when making your Disney World vacation plans.
While crowd calendars can be a big help in knowing what to expect, keep in mind, they are predictions at best. When designing our calendars, we take a look at events, school calendars, ticket prices, park hours, holidays, and typical monthly patterns. But unfortunately, our crowd calendars cannot predict other things such as weather, travel advisories, pandemics, or last-minute openings or closings of shows and attractions.
On top of that, many are choosing to travel differently these days. Quiet months have become popular due to runDisney events as well as other Disney events and promotions, while busier seasons have seen a downward trend in the last couple of years.
Most of June will be busy, and the crowds typically increase as the month goes on and schools release their students for summer break. Of the summer months, June is slightly less hot, but it is also a little more crowded because of it. If planning to travel during the summer to Walt Disney World, it may come down to heat versus crowds. If the crowds don’t bother you, June can be a great time to visit Disney.
