We spent a lovely and CROWDED holiday weekend in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
Lots of folks love to spend their holidays in Magic Kingdom and boy did it show this Valentine’s AND Presidents’ Day weekend. We’re bringing you all of the latest in food, construction, and merchandise from Disney World’s flagship park!
As we mentioned, the crowds were pretty significant this weekend. Here’s a glimpse of the group that gathered during a Character Cavalcade on Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Crowds
We’d go so far as to say that this is one of the busiest days we’ve seen since the parks reopened.

Monday was pretty similar with heavy crowds throughout the day.
Frontierland Crowds
Today, though, crowds had begun to lighten up as the holiday crowds disperse a bit.
