Plan a day at Magic Kingdom

Thursday, December 31, 2026

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

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

Same weekday last year, Thursday, January 1: crowd level 10, a holiday.

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