Here's the historic Park Attendance

I've seen a lot of posts questioning when to go.

To be fair, everyone thinks a busy park looks different, whats busy for me, may not be for you and so forth.

This info is from allearsnet.com

The Lowest Attendance --

January (except New Year's Day) until just prior to Presidents' Week in February

The week following Labor Day until the week prior to Thanksgiving

The week following Thanksgiving until mid-December


More Moderate Attendance:
After Presidents' week in February through early March
Late April through early June (except Memorial Day weekend)
Columbus Day Weekend (October)
The first part of Thanksgiving week

Highest Attendance:
Presidents' week in February
Mid March through Late April ("Spring Break")
Memorial Day weekend
Mid June through Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day and weekend
Christmas week through New Year's Day


A recent inquiry of Disney regarding which days to visit which parks had the following response:

"During regular attendance periods, our parks tend to be the busiest on the following days:

Magic Kingdom: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday

Epcot: Tuesday and Friday

Disney-MGM Studios: Sunday and Wednesday

Disney's Animal Kingdom: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday"


Hope this can help someone

That's GREAT!!! Thank's so much for posting that. I had planned on MK for our first day, Friday & this has made me feel really good about that decision.

I've never been more assured that I've selected a really bad timing for my trip to WDW...

but thanks anyway, at least I can be mentally prepared with the zoo-like situation ahead.

I'm curious to know when this info was last updated. I was under the impression that the parks were busiest on their EE days, generally, and except for a couple of exceptions, this info doesn't reflect that. Wish I could remember what the EE days used to be...

Anyone have an opinion on this?
