food IS a theme park
Can you believe NEXT WEEK is Christmas?
Hollywood Studios Christmas Decorations
Even with just a week until Christmas Eve, Disney hasn’t slowed down with their special holiday deals for anyone who needs last-minute gift ideas. Time is also running out to grab special holiday treats and drinks around the property. The closer the holiday gets means the busier Disney World gets, which is why if you’re heading into Disney Springs this weekend — BEWARE!
Remember how we warned you about HUGE holiday crowds in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
Today is Thanksgiving Day, which means Black Friday deals, specialty snacks, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and (normally) big crowds in the parks. Today, we’re taking you along with us to see what crowds are actually looking like in Walt Disney World.
It’s almost Thanksgiving — Can you believe it?!
Happy Thanksgiving
The year is flying by, and even though there are holiday decorations up and a Christmas party is happening in Disney World, Turkey Day has still yet to come. Thanksgiving usually brings out a LOT of people to the theme parks for the holiday, and we’re already starting to see that happening, because the crowds in Disney World this week are BIG!
There is nowhere on Earth more magical than Disney World during the holidays. Yes, everyone knows that, which means that the holidays are the busiest season at Disney World.

But where else are you going to get to try out hundreds of holiday foods, visit storytellers from around the world, see a variety of Christmas trees, visit a full-size gingerbread house, and more?! If you’re going to visit during the holidays, there are some things you can do to handle it like a pro.
It’s a busy time of year at Disney World, and chances are it’s only going to get even busier!
How crowded is Disney World?
We’re in the parks every single day checking out anything and everything new or interesting that you might need to know about on your next visit, and that includes monitoring those pesky crowds. No matter when you’re heading to the parks, it’s always a good idea to check the latest wait times and see how busy the parks have been, especially on holidays — so let’s take a look at Disney World crowds for today, Indigenous Peoples’ Day!
We’re well into Labor Day Weekend, so where are the crowds?
Cinderella Castle
We were a bit surprised yesterday to see that the 3-day weekend crowds were missing. Following a chaotic and busy summer, we would’ve expected an equally-crowded holiday weekend. So, of course, we were pleased to be met with light crowds. But with Labor Day taking place tomorrow, as well as a sold-out Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there’s got to be more people in the resort today — right?!
The day we warned you about is here: it’s President’s Day! You might be wondering, “What’s the big deal about President’s Day?” Well, in Disney World, those extra few days off invite TONS of guests to visit the parks, which means there are long lines, high wait times, and large crowds pretty much everywhere!
Happy President’s Day!
We’ve been documenting the crowd level all weekend, but now that the official holiday is here, let’s see how busy Disney World looks on President’s Day!
The New Year is here, and after staying up until midnight to ring it all in, we’re ready to party like it’s 2022!
Happy New Year!
Apparently a lot of other people had the same idea as us — we’re in Disney World today to see how busy the parks are on New Year’s Day as the holiday season comes to a close.
Ahh, Disney Genie+, the paid version of FastPass that is taking Disneyland Resort and Disney World by storm, leaving some guests overwhelmed and confused.

The new system has multiple parts, different prices for different options, and a set of rules that you’ll have to learn in order to use it effectively. However, when used properly, it could likely save you a good bit of time during your day at the parks. So how is it on the most crowded days of the year? Does it still work? Is it worth it? We tested it out in Disney World.
It’s no secret that things have been very busy at Disney World this holiday season!
Yesterday’s Crowds in Galaxy’s Edge
We’ve seen loads of crowds over the past few weeks and long waits for some attractions. But today, we think we’ve seen one of the longest wait times we’ve seen in a VERY long time!
