    How busy is the Magic Kingdom in December?

    Hi Rhea! It is difficult to predict guest attendance solely based on the month of the year. There are many factors that contribute to attendance rates at any particular theme park. The following information is taken directly from the Walt Disney World Resort website. It can be found in the FAQ Page.

     

    Although special events and promotions may influence Theme Park attendance levels, the following list highlights historic attendance trends throughout the year:

     

    Lowest Attendance: January (except New Year's Day) until just prior to Presidents' week in February
    The week following Labor Day until just prior to Thanksgiving week
    The week following Thanksgiving until the week prior to Christmas

     

    Moderate Attendance: After Presidents' week in February through early March
    Late April through early June (except Memorial Day weekend)
    The first part of Thanksgiving week

     

    Highest Attendance: Presidents' week in February
    Mid-March through Late April ("Spring Break")
    Memorial Day weekend
    Mid-June through Labor Day
    Thanksgiving Day and weekend
    Christmas week through New Year's Day

     

    During regular attendance periods the Theme Parks tend to be the busiest on the following days:
    Magic Kingdom® Park: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday
    Epcot®: Tuesday and Friday
    Disney's Hollywood Studios™: Sunday and Wednesday
    Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

     

    Personally I believe any time of the year is a great time to visit the Walt Disney World Resort!
