The holiday season is almost upon us at Disney World and that means that the holiday crowds are incoming!
Is there a better time of year?
Not only is it almost the end of summer break, but the Disney After Hours BOO Bash is just around the corner. With the 50th anniversary celebrations beginning on October 1st and the premiere of new fireworks shows and rides, we can expect the crowds to stay in Disney World for a while. So let’s take a look at what the weekend crowds looked like in Disney World today!
Getting onto the ferry for Magic Kingdom today, we noticed a LOT of people waiting to hop on one! As crowds and capacity continue to increase, we expect large lines like this to become more and more commonplace.
A lot of people wanted to get on the boats today!
It was certainly a snug fit on the ferry (that’s going to be a general theme for this weekend’s crowds).
Pretty crowded in here!
Heading into Magic Kingdom, rope drop was pretty busy, but not nearly as busy as last week’s Magic Kingdom rope drop!
Magic Kingdom was a little bit busy at rope drop today!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the other hand was…a lot. The crowds were PACKED at rope drop — it was reminding us of the “before times” with how many people were there. Lately, we’ve been seeing HUGE Hollywood Studios crowds, so this is no surprise.
Hollywood Studios is PACKED today!
Area’s like Toy Story Land had tons of people this weekend, with a lot of people trying to get on big blockbuster rides like Slinky Dog Dash.
Wow! That’s a lot of people!
It was the same way in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, too. We were nice and snug in the sometimes shoulder-to-shoulder foot traffic.
Things are getting busy at Galaxy’s edge!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom also had a temporary pile-up after Kilimanjaro Safaris had an unexpected closure on Saturday morning. Certain areas of the park were pretty slow, but others looked more like this.
Crowds started to form as Kilimanjaro Safaris was closed
