What park to visit on Christmas day

[brookepittman]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what park is best to visit on Christmas day? I didnt know if one of them did something special on that day. I thought about Animal Kingdom that day but being in Magical kingdom seems good also. So help me decide. Thanks!

Hi and to the DIS!

All the parks are beautiful at Christmastime. You should be aware that the MK often closes on Christmas Day--at least for an hour or two--because it has reached capacity.

We're heading to Animal Kingdom because it's DD's favourite park. Otehrwise we would have chosen MK!

We were at WDW for Christmas last year. We spent Christmas Day at AK and I didn't think it felt busy at all. (We are used to traveling to WDW during busy times--spring break, summer months, etc.) AK was less busy than some days we've been there during past spring break trips. I think most people head to MK--so I'd avoid it if I were you. If you don't want to go to AK then IMO EPCOT is your next best bet because it's capacity for visitors is the largest of all the parks.

Have fun. I am jealous that you will be at WDW for Christmas! I miss it already.

Maybe you are thinking of annual pass or Florida resident type passes...they have certain blackout dates?

My uncle went to MK on Christmas Day a few years ago. Get there as early as you possibly can, like pitch a tent under the railway on Christmas eve But seriously, he said it was beautiful, but wall to wall people.

All of them will be crowded. Really, really crowded. The Magic Kingdom will be crotch to crack all day. I would go to Animal Kingdom or Epcot.

My friend have been to Animal Kingdom last week and he said it was very great.

all parks have something to offer then.

But, whichever one you choose- go early and stay.

MK tends to reach capacity early.

Don't be turned away.

Go early.
