Universal Orlando<\/a> is one of the most popular theme parks in the country, and for good reason. It has some of the biggest franchises, like Harry Potter, Shrek, Minions, and Monsters. Combine those franchises with character interactions, rides, entertainment, and experiences, and you\u2019ve got yourself quite a popular spot.<\/p>\n

Because of their popularity, this means it can also get pretty busy. BUT there are several weeks in 2027 where Universal Orlando will be EMPTY. These are the 10 weeks you should consider booking your trip to Universal Orlando.<\/p>\n

January 9th \u2013 15th<\/p>\n

The early months of the year are a great time to visit the Orlando theme parks, specifically January 9th through 15th. The holiday celebration at Universal Orlando ends on January 3rd, so those crowds will officially be gone. It also won\u2019t be too hot during this time since it\u2019s in the dead of winter.<\/p>\n

Look how empty!<\/p>\n

Something NEW Is Coming to Epic Universe for the Holidays<\/a>
\nJanuary 23rd \u2013 February 12th<\/p>\n

These three weeks in January and February will be pretty slow since school will have been back for a couple of weeks now. These are also the weeks leading up to February school vacations, which are common in the northern states. Valentine\u2019s Day also falls on a Sunday this year, so leaving before that weekend would be beneficial.<\/p>\n

\nApril 4th \u2013 April 10th<\/p>\n

Jumping ahead to April, the first week will be the best time to visit. This week follows Easter weekend, so those crowds will be gone while April school vacation will begin the following week. It\u2019s the perfect downtime between the two busier times of April.<\/p>\n

\nMay 2nd \u2013 May 8th<\/p>\n

The first week in May is the LAST before the summer crowds start to hit the Orlando theme parks. While schools up north don\u2019t typically get out until mid- to end-June, schools in Florida tend to get out in mid-May, so the first week of May is your safest bet to visit before those summer crowds hit!<\/p>\n

\nAugust 22nd \u2013 28th<\/p>\n

The last week of August is when the summer crowds start to die down since kids are either back in school or getting ready to go back. That is until the weekend, which typically hosts the first Halloween Horror Nights events of the season! So, if you want fewer crowds and want to experience a dose of Halloween, this may be the week for you!<\/p>\n

\nSeptember 12th \u2013 25th<\/p>\n

September tends to be one of the slowest times of the year when it comes to visiting theme parks since summer has officially ended and everyone is back to work and school. If you can take time off work, these two weeks in September are great times to go! Not only will you experience fewer crowds, but you\u2019ll also be able to indulge in Halloween offerings since spooky season will have officially arrived.<\/p>\n

Finally, you can experience an empty park in the first week of November. The final night of Halloween Horror Nights<\/a> tends to be either October 31st or November 1st, so the Halloween crowds will be dying down, and the holidays don\u2019t start up until mid-November.<\/p>\n
