Plan a day at Magic Kingdom

Sunday, December 20, 2026

LightLighter than usual. Based on 11 years of crowd records for this time of year.

What drives it: Christmas and New Year break. Shorter park hours. Ticketed event in the evening, so day crowds thin out.

Same weekday last year, Sunday, December 21: crowd level 2, with a special event.

There isn’t enough history for Magic Kingdom yet. Forecasts start after about a week of recorded waits and get sharper every week after.
