Plan a day at Animal Kingdom
Monday, November 23, 2026
- Open 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Early entry for hotel guests
BusyVery busy. Based on 11 years of crowd records for this time of year.
What drives it: Thanksgiving week. Longer park hours than usual. Ticketed event in the evening, so day crowds thin out.
Same weekday last year, Monday, November 24: crowd level 10.
There isn’t enough history for Animal Kingdom yet. Forecasts start after about a week of recorded waits and get sharper every week after.
