It’s not usually a big surprise that holidays tend to bring crowds to Disney World, even at its current 35% limited capacity.
Frontierland Crowds
With today being Valentine’s Day, LOADS of guests flocked to the parks, because who doesn’t want to be at Disney World on the most romantic day of the year? And we’ve got photos and videos to show just how crowded the parks looked!
Magic Kingdom
We saw the crowds beginning to pour into Magic Kingdom pretty much the minute we arrived, although groups were doing their best to stay socially distanced.

As we headed into Tomorrowland, it started feeling even more crowded.

This included a lot of long lines for rides: guests were waiting past the Swiss Family Treehouse just to ride Jungle Cruise!

The area in front of Pirates of the Caribbean became a sort of chokepoint between guests waiting in line and others just trying to move through the area. At the time, the wait for the ride was 60 minutes.

We could certainly feel the impact of crowds when a princess cavalcade came through while there was a 95-minute wait for Splash Mountain.

When this happens, it’s much harder to practice physical distancing.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios was feeling a little busier, too.

One of the longest lines we saw was for the Trolley Car Cafe — if you want coffee at Disney World today, patience is key!

EPCOT
We hopped over to EPCOT and saw long lines and wait times there, too, including a 55-minute wait time for Frozen Ever After.

And the wait time to get into the Mexico Pyramid was around 30 minutes.

Granted, there is often a line to get into the pyramid due to its limited capacity. But this is one of the longer lines we’ve seen in a while!
