Unbelievable day (1/27/26) at the Magic Kingdom

[Simba's Mom]

I suppose between the cold weather and the early closing, it was bound to be slow, but this is incredible-pictures taken about 1:30.

Nice!! Epcot felt fairly empty too.

What an awesome day to visit MK! Beats looking out my frozen window at nothing but white sky and white snow.

What a great day! Hope you had a ton of fun!!

It is partially the cool weather but also MK closes at 4:30 PM today for the CM Appreciation event this evening.

I'm having flashbacks to our December 2010 trip! Glad you found a silver lining.

Was just about to say that! I have friends attending so I hope it's not too cold. Though I did get a screenshot this morning of their weather app and it was a balmy 32 degrees at 7am. At least they don't have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground, like I do!

Fun to see those pictures Amazing how uncrowded MK is! Makes me wish I was there today. I hope your day was amazing!

 

[NH-to-FL]

Great pictures! What a magical way to spend a winter day!

I would imagine all of the cancelled flights on Sunday due to snow/ice also had an impact. Many who were planning to travel on Sunday to Disney probably couldn't get there.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and experience. Each year a thread is opened when the MK closes extra early for a CM appreciation event. We'll be able to share your thread in the future when people ask if it's worth going to the MK that day.

Yup! The snowbank around my house is taller than me.

There had to be quite a few cancelled vacations, or delayed! My heart goes out to all of them.

Same to the folks in Indianapolis who were unable to get their Disney fix in their own area! The DOI performances were scrapped after 10am last Sunday.

We were there too.
It was cold.....we didn't come prepared for the 39 degrees at early entry, but it did make things easier to do.
We left pretty early to go thaw out.....and pack.
