Magic Kingdom on Monday

[jeffmw]

Taking 2.5 year old and 9 month old to DW Feb. 8-12. We have three full days (Mon, Tues and Wed) and wanted to visit two parks (MK and EPCOT). Our 2.5 year old daughter is obsessed with princesses and the only day we could reserve breakfast at Akershus was Wednesday (Cinderella's is going to be closed), so that became our EPCOT day. We also wanted to put a "break" day between the two park days so we could relax and get the kids rested up, so that would be Tuesday.

That leaves Monday for MK but I'm reading that it's the most crowded day. I was hoping for some feedback here as far as how different it is as far as the crowd and how that will affect us. We're going in early February so we don't anticipate the crowds will be huge, and we're not going to be waiting in a ton of lines, but we still don't want to go on a day when it's going to be too hectic.

Any advice as far as how much busier it will be that Monday vs. the Tuesday and how we could best plan this?

Thanks!

One of the crowd predictors I like, Touring Plans, predicts a crowd level of 6/10 on that Monday in MK compared to 5/10 your other days. I'd say that's not a drastic difference and if it fits best in your plans you can head to MK on Monday with few worries. Both are considered "moderately crowded" and that's very manageable.

Easywdw.com does list MK as its "least recommended" park that day, but with an overall crowd level at all parks predicted to be a 4, which means not terribly busy, so again I think it looks fine!

As on any day, the best advice is to get to the parks at (prior to) opening to take advantage of lowest crowds and kids' best time of day, pick a few Fastpasses to minimize wait on a couple favorite things and enjoy!

With little kids, you may find it easier to do three 1/2 -3/4 days with plenty of rest each day rather than 2 long park days with a full day off - but that's a very subjective decision & you know your family best!
