When planning a Walt Disney World trip, we know how important it is to prepare ahead of time for the big crowds that await you. But aside from holidays, you may not account for special events, and that could totally throw off your plans that were curated based on your crowd expectations of the day. That’s why we have you covered because we have the heads up about an event happening soon!
On May 25th through May 27th, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is hosting the 2024 Disney Memorial Day Soccer Tournament. As with any sports event at the resort, most participants and their families flock to the parks afterward, leading to increased wait times and larger crowds. Did we also mention that it’s Memorial Day Weekend? Yeah, it’s definitely going to be pretty busy.
