PHOTOS: See What the CROWDS Look Like at EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays

We’re live from the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!

We’ve been checking out the merchandise, trying the food, and perusing all that EPCOT has to offer during this magical season. But how busy is the park today? Let’s take a look!

As we’ve been strolling around the park, we’ve seen quite a few guests out and about — it IS Thanksgiving break, after all!

There were a large number of guests checking out all of the new things the park has to offer as part of this Festival.

Some booths’ lines weren’t too long (particularly some that we visited JUST as they were opening)…

…but other spots had much longer lines.

Lines started forming rather quickly at many of the booths. If you’re heading to the park and planning to stop by those booths today or this weekend in particular (considering that it is a holiday weekend with Thanksgiving having just passed), you’ll just want to come prepared to do a bit of waiting.

Crowds at EPCOT while festivals are taking place also tend to be larger on the weekends, so that’s something you’ll want to keep in mind.

There are quite a few spots to find Festival-related merchandise, some of which weren’t too busy yet.

But, there were plenty of guests checking out the merchandise in other spots.

Overall, things were (as expected) rather crowded.

Some areas had a bit more elbow room, but still there were a lot of guests all around.

If you’re hoping to visit the Festival and avoid some of the crowds, consider visiting during the week and visiting before the big Christmas and New Year’s Eve crowds arrive.
