What will the crowds be like?

This question is asked over-and-over online. "Will there be lots of people at Disney World when I go?" or "Will there be long lines at Disney World when I go?" It seems like there aren't any real slow times like there used to be because of all the special deals Disney offers during the traditionally slow time.

However, there are better times than others to go. The general rule of thumb is that when students are out of school the parks will be busy. When kids are in school, the parks will be less busy. So how do you know if the time you are interested is a good time or not?

Fortunately, there are a couple of web sites that can help you out.
