Plan a day at Animal Kingdom

Tuesday, December 22, 2026

BusyBusy. Based on 11 years of crowd records for this time of year.

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

Same weekday last year, Tuesday, December 23: crowd level 8.

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