Welp, it looks like spring break crowds have left Disney World, for now at least.
Spring Break Crowds in Magic Kingdom
Just as fast as the crowds flocked to the parks, they appear to have entirely disappeared! The only confusing part is that all four Disney World parks have no Park Pass Reservations left for today.
Spring break brought a surge of travelers to the parks earlier this month, and Park Pass Reservations have been going faster than bedazzled Minnie Ears!

Even into April, the Park Pass Reservation system shows that crowds are maintaining their presence in all four parks…but we have some QUESTIONS.
Magic Kingdom Crowds
In theory, it makes total sense that Disney World says ALL the parks are at capacity today. After all, it’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday!

But while we were out exploring Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it certainly didn’t LOOK like capacity-level crowds! It’s not too often we get Cinderella Castle all to ourselves!

In EPCOT, we could take our time shopping, because there’s literally no one else in sight.
Shopping in the Japan Pavilion was chill
The Mexico Pavilion is usually a LOT busier than this in the middle of the day!
Where did everybody go?
At the usual lunch rush time, there is no wait to get our barbecue fix either!
No wait at Regal Eagle
This scene in EPCOT has more trashcans than people… .

Not a creature was stirring, not even a (Mickey) Mouse.
“Capacity”?
In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we could have our pick of benches!
Hollywood Studios is wide open
Are those people or tumbleweeds?

Although the lack of crowds is giving us mixed messages today, it’s pretty refreshing to have the parks basically to ourselves! Also, it’s an apt reminder to keep tabs on the Park Pass Reservations, because you never know what you’ll see!

We were going to book a trip to Walt Disney World for this week, saw there were no park passes so did not book. It is disappointing to see that the parks actually could have allowed more people to visit.
Isn’t Disney at 35% capacity at the moment? That would be why it looks so empty and why passes are filling up so quickly since they must have reached capacity weeks ago. I was there the week of March 15th and the low crowds were great.
