Believe it or not, the week after the holidays can sometimes be even MORE crowded in Disney World than the peak holiday season. A recent update proves that’s the case this year!

Fantasyland is one of the areas with bottlenecks

Although we saw some pretty big crowds at the parks for Christmas and New Year’s, we’re seeing even more people at Disney World today, January 2nd. And it looks like those crowds are going to get BIGGER soon.

Disney World’s website shows that tomorrow, January 3rd, 2023, Disney World is completely SOLD OUT! There are no park pass reservations left for regular guests…

Each of the 4 parks is sold out, which means they’ll be full to that day’s capacity. So if you’re visiting the parks tomorrow, be prepared for some big crowds! Remember that if you’re visiting Disney World, you must make park pass reservations in addition to purchasing park tickets.

Entering Magic Kingdom

You can make those reservations as soon as you have your tickets, and Annual Passholders have a limited number of reservations they can hold at any given time.

EPCOT entrance

Since those reservations can (and do!) run out, we recommend making yours ASAP — right after you buy your tickets, if possible! Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios tend to sell out first, but all 4 parks are subject to selling out of passes.

We previously saw January 2nd sell out as well, although Disney added more park passes for that date so that more guests could visit the parks. These dates are likely popular because Annual Passholders who were blocked out for the holidays are visiting once they’re able to enter the parks again.
