Plan a day at Magic Kingdom

Tuesday, December 22, 2026

BusyVery busy. 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, Tuesday, December 23: crowd level 7.

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