But, you won’t be alone in Disney World while celebrating this festive occasion. We’ve already shared a peek at the amount of guests that have been in the parks this past week and we’ve taken a look at just how many people are expected to travel to Orlando for this holiday. Now, we’re sharing details about what the crowds look like in Disney World!

Crowds in the parks this week have been pretty big.

While there have been some quieter spots…

Every once in a while we found some elbow room!

…many areas in the parks (especially popular spots like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge) have been rather packed.

Get Ready for Crowds!

We’ve also seen some long wait times. Again, this was particularly true for those rides that are in-demand.

Things are already looking busy!

Today, on Thanksgiving Day, we made a stop at Magic Kingdom to see what the crowds were like there.

Main Street, U.S.A. was particularly crowded.

Lots of Crowds Here

As we made our way through the Castle, there was a bit more elbow room.

Still Busy But Some Pockets of Space

In Fantasyland, the crowds continued, but there was a bit more space.

In terms of wait times (we checked at around 11:30 PM ET), some rides still had shorter wait times, at just 5-10 minutes.

Others had slightly longer waits, in the 25-30 minute range.

Planning to visit Disney World during the holiday season? Then you’ll want to be prepared for large crowds. Be sure to book your Park Pass reservations as soon as possible, make dining reservations well in advance, and (when in the parks) place those Mobile Orders well before you get hungry so you don’t end up HANGRY.

You’ll also want to make sure you’re prepared when you visit the parks. Remember to bring your water bottles to stay hydrated, chargers so you can stay powered up, and patience to stay calm!
