Magic Kingdom crowds during Christmas week. Sunday?

[bramble4]

Hi everyone! We usually travel around the beginning of October, but will be visiting the week before Christmas due to the kids' school schedules. It looks like we have crowd levels of 5-6 until the weekend (before Christmas) hits. Easywdw has released recommendations up until Sunday the 20th. My question is, how busy is Magic Kingdom on a Sunday, especially at this time of year? We tried MK on a Monday in the Fall and the crowds were surprising. Is Sunday typically a bad day as well? We will have a hopper if it ends up too bad, but It would be our only MK day to see fireworks due to the Christmas party closing the park early on our other days.

MK is going to be extremely busy every day.

I would be there at rope drop, hop to another park in the afternoon (probably AK if it doesn't have EMH,) and then come back in the evening for the fireworks.

I'm reading several Christmas threads, and references keep being made to MK being swamped during Christmas. What about the other three parks? Obviously they will be busy, but is there a history of MK being EVEN MORE busy than AK and Epcot? Thanks.

We have gone twice the past 2 years. Once in May and then in August , the Magic Kingdom was more crowded than the other parks both visits. So yes it probably will be more crowded.

All of the parks will be unimaginably busy, but MK will be busier than the rest.

On any given day, the MK will always outdraw the other parks. It outdraws them by millions each year.
