Tuesday April 22 at MK

[Mel42]

I notice that Tuesday April 22 is the only day that week with hours of 8:00-11:00. Is there a reason for this? Will this increase crowds that day?

Earth Day?

Earth Day?

Perhaps, but I would think that would be at AK

Yes there will be Earth Day activities at AK but the crowds will be at MK.

It's a very busy week, it's Easter break for a lot of school districts as well as the "April vacation" week for a lot of schools in the Northeast.

Earth Day?

But do local schools get off for Earth Day? It doesn't look like it on the School District calendars. I know it's a busy holiday week in general, but it's so strange that a random Tuesday has extended hours in both the morning and night.

Su-Mon 9 to 10
T 8 to 11
Wed-Thurs 9 to 10

My Fastpass day is tomorrow so wondering if I should avoid Magic Kingdom on that Tuesday.

Same. I think I may switch my MK day.

If Disney is extending the hours without any other special events going on, then I'm guessing they're expecting more people that day. Yeah I'm going to switch my MK day.

No Orange County Public schools do not have any days off Easter week.

However it is Easter week and schools all over the county have that week off. It is not a random Tuesday, it is the Tuesday of Easter week. Disney has ticket data, and park reservation data to indicated it is going to be very busy that day, and MK is always the busiest park of the 4.

The really weird thing is that MK closes at 10 p.m. most nights that week. I am not expecting it to be as busy as it was in years past when there were more 11 p.m. closings.
