When do the large groups of kids go?

Can someone please remind me--what times of the year do the cheerleaders, sports teams, and teens from South America usually come to Disney?

You can check the Wide World of Sports web site for dates regarding cheer and other sports competitions.

BTG Big Tour Groups tend to be January and February which is their summer break. There will be a few in December. You will see them again in July during their winter break, but I feel like it's less. These groups are park focused.

Cheer & Dance will usually be January through May. These groups have competitions and some park time.

Then you have other sports and groups but I don't think they make as big an impact.

Pop Warner is generally early December. That is the sports teams.

However, I found this online for this year.....The Pop Warner Cheer & Dance Nationals will be held December 8-11, 2025 at the Charlotte Convention Center.

I cannot validate this on their website.

I believe you are asking about the obnoxious Brazilian Tour Groups. HopperFan answered that.

POP Warner has not been at Disney World in years. I believe after COVID they were not invited back.

I didn't see any BTGs last January when we went. Could there be fewer of them coming now verses years past?

We saw large groups of college aged students mid-January in All Stars resorts. Also, alot of brazillian groups in the parks.

January. We recently encountered tons of the Brazilian teens and they run from ride to ride, in huge hoards, knocking over everyone in their path.

I've told you a million times never to exaggerate. I was going there when the Brazilian groups were plentiful. Never had a problem with them unless they made all that noise during an actual attraction. I never encountered that problem. I could see and hear them and just thought... "Damn I wish I could have that much fun here", but my sphincter was much to tight to allow myself to do that. They were just enjoying themselves and I never once saw them knocking people over. I did see them trying to cut the lines from time to time, but when they would maneuver themselves up to behind me, I just acted like I couldn't speak Portuguese and ignored them. It was easy because I couldn't speak Portuguese so therefore they couldn't be talking to me.

I’ve literally never interacted with you on here so I don’t know what you’re talking about and I’m not exaggerating. Were you there? Did you see what I saw? No, then don’t come at me like that. I was literally almost knocked over and I saw an old man ran into and his food and drink were knocked out of his hands. Again, I’ve never we spoken to you on here so you’ve never told me even once to not exaggerate. Lol, this is so weird because we’ve literally never interacted.

We went at the very end of January, never seen any. Do they visit more so before that in January?
