    Hi I am coming to Disney on 15th January from uk for 2 weeks, I note unfortunately that mlk day is on the mon 20/1. How busy is Disney usually over this weekend Will the whole weekend up to the Tuesday be so busy I will struggle to get on rides? thanks

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Margo Elizabeth. I'm so glad you stopped by! It sounds like your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort is less than two months away now. I'm sure you're counting down the days with excitement and anticipation! 

     I can understand being worried about large crowds. As a mom of three, I try to avoid lengthy wait times at all costs! Holiday weekends are typically busy in the theme parks, but I've been there for Martin Luther King Jr. weekend before, and the crowds were totally manageable. My best advice is to arrive to the theme parks early when the crowds are at their lowest. If you're a Guest of the Disney Resorts Collection, you can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry! Wait times are often longest in the afternoon, so that's a good time to go back to your hotel to take a break. They decrease in the evening, so my family likes to head back to the theme parks for nighttime fun after our afternoon break. 

     You may also want to consider purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, or both. These products are sure to minimize your wait times and maximize your fun! Lightning Lane Premier Pass is an additional option if you'll be staying at a Disney Resort hotel.

     I hope this was helpful, Margo Elizabeth. Please let us know if you have any other questions about the Walt Disney World Resort! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
