The week after Christmas

[queenrainbow]

How busy is WDW MK the week after Christmas? We will be in FL from 12/27-1/2 (possibly, the dates aren't set yet) What 2 days would be the best that week to visit? We will be staying off site and would like to visit the park for 2 days while we're there.

well, crowds are heavy.

Have not been there for myself, but from what I have read on here it is wall to wall-people on these dates. You will not note any differences in crowds, it does not matter which day you choose. Crowd calenders indicate highest crowd-levels possible.

tip:

BE EARLY!!!!!!!!! And I mean early! You will encouter many cars driving around on property. It happens that parks close down to capacity in different stages - for offsite guests first.
headliner-rides first..make use of FP+, try to schedule times for the afternoon. Lines will be very very long then and you are able to ride with just a short wait. Try to get an ADR. You will be happy to have a table in a sit-down restaurant. Not just for food - also for a sit-down time for resting a while.


have a positive attitude. There are better days to visit, but if you are prepared you will have fun anyway - it's Disney

Every day will be the same maxed out capacity. It is the single busiest week of the year. No day that week will be better than another.

Agree with the positive attitude... not so much with having to get there early. We were there for that week (and a little longer) this year, and although it was crowded, we never went to any park at rope drop, but we got in lots of rides without standing in the crazy long lines (although they definitely existed). We found that the crowds lightened by the end of the day.

Thanks. I was afraid of that We aren't going to FL specifically for Disney but it will suck to stay in Orlando and not visit at least 1 day.
