Crowds in Disney World surge during expected times like holidays, spring break, and summer, but there are other times of the year you may be caught off guard by the crowds.

Many times this is due to special events happening somewhere in the resort, such as runDisney events around the parks, but many large sports competition companies also host their yearly events at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex and/or Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort & Convention Center, drawing in massive crowds. Two of those events are coming up soon and are happening on THE SAME weekend.
From April 26th through 28th, Disney World will be hosting both The Cheerleading Worlds and The Dance Worlds Championship Events. These aren’t just national events though, no — there are teams coming from ALL over the world.

This year alone, the Dance Worlds will see over 5,000 dancers spanning 400+ teams across 23 countries. The Cheerleading Worlds, on the other hand, will see over 12,000 cheerleaders across 500 teams spanning 21 countries to come together and celebrate the expertise, athleticism, determination and shared passion that create All Star cheerleading.

We don’t know about you, but that’s A LOT of people to be in Disney World at one time, especially considering that’s not including all the regular park guests that have no idea about the event. In many cases, the teams will come to Disney World early or stay a little late to spend some time in the parks, so crowds are likely to be elevated for around a week.

In addition to being in the parks, many of these teams will also be staying at Disney Worlds hotels. Oftentimes these are Disney’s All Star Resorts, which are their cheapest options. If you’re staying at the All-Star Sports Resort in particular, you will likely find lots of groups of teens practicing their routines. Things can feel noisy ad crowded. You may want to splurge a little bit to stay at a different Value hotel, or even a Moderate!
