Merry Christmas Eve!

We’ve been celebrating the holidays in Disney World for WEEKS now, but the busiest weeks of the year have now arrived. The parks are decked out in decor, there’s gingerbread everywhere, and you can hear Christmas music pretty much everywhere you go. But just how crowded are things in the parks the day before Christmas? We’re about to find out!

All I Want For Christmas Ugly Sweater

We headed into Magic Kingdom this morning to see what crowds are like on Christmas Eve, and if you’re planning a holiday trip in the future, you’ll definitely want to check this out! We first arrived at the Magic Kingdom parking lot at 8:28AM, and the line of cars was backed up. We made it through the parking booth at 8:40AM and were parked by 8:44. It took less than 20 minutes to get in line and to be parked. So, while it was busy, we have seen worse lines for parking over the holidays.

Our next stop was the Transportation & Ticket Center! There were lots of trams running from the parking lot to the TTC, so if you’re parking, you will likely be able to easily hop on one to get to the TTC. We got to security and made it through in 3 minutes!!

5 minutes later, we were hopping on the Monorail! It was certainly busy, and there were lots of people, but we made great time considering that.

Getting in the Monorail

Next stop — the Magic Kingdom! The park opened at 8AM, and we arrived there by 9:10AM. By then, the line wasn’t super backed up, but it did move fairly slowly, mostly due to scanning in issues. We still made it through the line in 8 minutes!
