The Ripken Experience (June 8 – July 11, 2025)
This baseball event brings youth teams from across the country to Disney for a unique tournament-vacation experience.
- Participants: Boys aged 10U–16U.
- Impact on Parks: Families attending the tournament often combine it with park visits, leading to slightly higher crowds in the mornings and evenings.
Juneteenth (June 19) at Disney World
Juneteenth celebrates African American freedom and heritage, and Disney often marks the day with special food offerings, limited-edition merchandise, and entertainment options. While it’s not a major travel holiday, you may notice themed celebrations around the parks.
Crowds and Park Recommendations
June is consistently busy as summer begins, but it offers a balance of high-energy crowds and longer park hours. Here’s how the crowds play out:
- Early June (June 1-7):
- Crowds start to rise as schools let out, especially in Florida.
- Expect moderate-to-high crowds with shorter wait times in the mornings and evenings.
- Mid-June (June 8-22):
- This is one of the busier periods of the month as most U.S. schools are out.
- High crowds dominate, especially in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.
- Late June (June 23-30):
- Crowds remain high, but they are steady rather than overwhelming.
While there are no “green days” after the first few days of the month, June offers consistently long hours and exciting summer entertainment across all parks.
What to Wear and Weather in June

- Evenings: A light jacket or hoodie is rarely necessary, but you might want one for heavily air-conditioned indoor attractions or dining.
- Rain Gear: Bring a poncho or travel umbrella, as brief but intense showers are common.
- Footwear: Waterproof sandals or shoes that dry quickly after rain.
- Accessories: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat are essential for sun protection.
