This random Monday in January is looking like it’s going to be a very busy day at the parks! We’ve just gotten out of the busy holiday season, but this upcoming weekend, January 8th through January 12th, is the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, which is likely to bring in lots of people to the parks. As we start the marathon week, there may be other factors at play that are causing January 6th to be SO busy.

And, while you certainly shouldn’t expect to have anything close to what could be described as a “relaxing vacation” in Magic Kingdom, there are definitely a handful of not-so-secret tips that can help you get the most out of your day. No matter when you’re planning on visiting Disney World next, these are our top tips to MAXIMIZE your time in Magic Kingdom.
I have a confession to make: I hate camping. I do not go out into the great outdoors unless it involves visiting Disney World or Disneyland. Animal Kingdom is my idea of roughing it, y’all. That’s why you’ll never find me pitching a tent at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. NOT. FOR. ME.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
BUT…I just learned about a glamping opportunity (that’s glamorous camping, where you have a more luxury kind of camping experience that doesn’t usually involve waking up with insects or animals inside your tent with you). It’s Star Wars-themed, and y’all…I kinda want to go. No. I REALLY want to go.
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in late February, you might want to think twice about heading to EPCOT on Sunday, February 23rd, 2025.
EPCOT
While EPCOT is typically a must-visit for its iconic attractions, international cuisine, and festivals, it’s one park we’re steering clear of on that particular day. Why? Three words: Princess Half Marathon.
Let’s face it – Disney World can be a lot.
Welcome to Disney World!
Sure, it’s magical, but between the crowds, price hikes, and construction chaos, even the most die-hard Disney fan can feel the stress. Right now, it feels like Disney World is in a constant state of change, and keeping up with it all? Well, that’s practically a full-time job. But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Let’s talk about why Disney World feels extra stressful right now and how you can manage it all like a pro.
January is a great time to visit Disney World. You get cooler temperatures (and sometimes, it gets downright COLD). The holiday crowds have died down a bit (but you can often still see all the holiday decorations in the parks well into January). Things tend to be a little calmer and quieter this time of year.
Orlando International Airport
However, if you’re FLYING to Disney World in January, there can often be some problems. That’s because January generally brings wintry weather, which can result in flight delays and cancelations. We’re already seeing that become an issue at Orlando International Airport today, where a ton of flights have already been delayed, while others have been canceled.

A lot of BIG things are happening in Disney World in 2025.
Frontierland sign
Dinoland, U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom will begin its phased closure to make way for a NEW land, Pueblo Esperanza. We expect to see construction start SOON at the Muppets Courtyard in Hollywood Studios, which will be converted into a Monsters, Inc. land. In Magic Kingdom, Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America will soon be under construction for a new Cars expansion in Frontierland. However, something BIG is happening TOMORROW in Magic Kingdom, too: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closing for at least a year. So we’re checking it out today to see what crowds are like.
