Magic Kingdom on St. Patty's Day?

[forrestmouse]

Does anyone know how busy the Magic Kingdom will be on St. Patricks Day, March 17th. This is the only day we had planned on going. Any special treats that day???

St. Patrick's day won't make a difference in crowd levels at the Magic Kingdom. Other than some merchandise (Mickey ears, pins, antenna toppers), it's pretty low key. A few years ago there were activities like Irish dancing in the UK in Epcot, but I'm not sure if they're still doing it.

Glad to hear. We are planning to be in MK on St. Patty's day too and I was wondering if it was going to be extra busy...

We were in MK on St. Patricks Day last year, and crowd levels were about par for the week (i.e. busy) -- but much less busy than our DHS day the next day.

We wore green, as did some other folks, but we didn't observe any special events for the day.
