It’s New Year’s Eve week!
Crowds at Magic Kingdom
We’ve already taken a look at what New Year’s Eve itself will look like in Disney World and what kind of fireworks and other festivities you can expect. But one thing you might be wondering about are the CROWDS. We’ve seen some pretty large crowds in the parks ahead of Christmas. So what do the New Year’s Eve week crowds look like? Here’s what we’re seeing.
Some Disney merchandise only pops up for a very limited time and can be difficult to grab.
Happy Halloween!
Some of the items that tend to be very popular in Disney World are the specially themed popcorn buckets. During Halloween this past year, we saw a VERY cool Mickey Mummy popcorn bucket released in Disneyland and (eventually) in Disney World. But if you didn’t get the chance to snatch up this beauty while it was in the parks, we’ve got a secret spot where you might want to look!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
The holidays can be a very busy travel season, with large crowds in theme parks, airports, and more. Orlando International Airport recently shared their expectations for some of the busiest travel days of the season — many of which surround the December holidays.

But with big travel crowds can come big complications. Over the past several days, we’ve seen thousands of flights canceled, and now it seems more cancelations are taking place.
