Christmas Day-anyone have pics of the crowds?

[happily single]

I recall a few years back people would post the view of the crowds at the different parks On Christmas Day. Could someone please share some pics?

I have BoG reservations at 5. I’ll take a few pics and post later.

No photos but it is not so bad. Just left MK and it’s no worse than a busy summer day

we are going back at 8:00 for the desert party I’ll get photos

Agreee AngTN. with my family in MK it's not bad using our fp's and been able to do a bit more. The weather is beautiful too!!

I was going to say the same thing based on the wait times I see on the Disney World app. Magic Kingdom looks very busy - 2-3 hour waits for the mountains, but other than that it looks to be like a typical summer crowd. Less than an hours wait for smugglers run is pretty good considering how crowded the parks were supposed to be.

There are very few rides under a hour wait at the moment. Most are 90-180.

Definitely busier than Fourth of July.

I'm assuming you are only talking about Magic Kingdom. Unless Disney is massively underreporting their wait times, which I find highly unlikely, then the wait times are better than what I saw over the 4th of July last year. Walk ons for rides like Nemo and Star Tours.

That post was specifically MK at 4:00pm.

That's a tough time to be there. That's during my afternoon nap time anytime I'm at Disney just due to the crowds on a normal day. You are braver than I am for facing those crowds.

Also agree with @AngiTN. We prepared for the worse. Arrived at 6:30 am and was able to knock out everything we wanted to do before noon. It was crowed, especially Main St, but when we saw the turnstiles upon leaving, I felt bad for waking my family up so early, lol. We are going back this evening.

 

[AngiTN]

We just got back to the park and there was no wait to get in or for bag check
E has no issues walking down main st to reach tomorrow land. Yes there are lines for rides but there isn’t body to body people

 

[AngiTN]

I’m trying to get a photo uploaded from tomorrow land. Can’t get things to cooperate

Let’s see how to work this

Wow.thanks. I was there on Dec. 15th and it was much more crowded

Man, that's really surprising. The traffic on Tuesday morning was stupidly crowded- I paid to valet rather than get back out on the road! Also, at noon on Tuesday the posted standby time for FoP was 300 mins. The line was back to the bridge between Tiffin's and Pandora. I know, that's AK, but still... crazy! I didn't think it was any busier than a busy summer day, though, either at AK or Epcot, but that was on Christmas Eve. Anyhow... hope everyone had a great Christmas Day! We finally got warm sunny weather here in Orlando so DH and I spent it poolside!

We arrived at Epcot around 10AM and this is what the front entrance looked like:

...one of the first rides of the day was Frozen. We didn't have FPs, but the wait wasn't really exceptionally long:

We headed back to Test Track:

since we DID have a FP for that ride:

...thank goodness for those FPs, since the crowds picked up a bit - all in all, not overly crowded for Christmas Day...

 

[kimmar067]

There wasn't a dinner reservation to be had [for a delicious Christmas Day meal] at any of the World Showcase restaurants - we managed to get one for Chefs de France....you could see, as the day wound down, it seemed a bit more crowded. My guess was for the late arrivers wanting to watch the fireworks later in the evening...
