Creator's Key Takeaways

does that make this a really bad day to visit Magic Kingdom I'm going to share with you some reasons why it might be but more importantly I'm going to share with you a lot of reasons why this is the perfect day to be at Magic Kingdom

what you make up for that is the fact that lots of people are avoiding this park which makes the crowds unusually low

if you're going to be here on a party day you definitely want to be here early that means early entry if you have it or rope drop if you don't

the magic window from 3:00 to 5:00 is a great time to get some big attractions done

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive early for rope drop or early entry to maximize ride time.
βœ“Use Genie+ if park hopping to stack rides for the second park.
βœ“Keep an eye on wait times and character meet-and-greets for short lines.
βœ“Plan a break for lunch and enjoy the reduced crowds on party days.

If you've ever been to Disney World during the Christmas or Halloween Seasons (or during times of the year when Disney offers After Hours events) you know that there are some days when you'll get kicked out of the park around 6:00 pm unless you have a special ticket to attend the evening's event. Whether it's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, these hard-ticketed events can really complicate your plans to visit Magic Kingdom. In today's video, we'll cover who should maybe consider heading to Magic Kingdom on a party day, who should maybe skip it, and all the tips, tricks and strategies you'll need to make the most of your shorter day at the park.
