Memorial Day Weekend 2027
Every day is rated 1 Magical or 2 Smooth on our Disney World crowd calendar. This break includes possible snow make-up days, so those extra days off depend on whether they're needed during the school year.

We generally recommend starting about 9 to 12 months ahead, especially when you're planning around popular school breaks like Jersey Week or spring break. But if your calendar opens up unexpectedly, we also help families plan trips just 1 to 2 months before departure.

Snow days. The district marks May 28, June 1 and June 11, 2027 as "Tentative Emergency Closing Days—May be adjusted" (dashed outline on the calendar). They're shown as days off because the district's own school-day counts leave them out. If school is closed for snow, the district uses them as make-up days in this order: 5/28/27, then 6/11/27, then 6/1/27. The tentative last day of school is June 17, 2027.
