Winter is here at Walt Disney World, but off-season crowds are nowhere to be found in January 2022.
people don’t have it off work, so they assume it won’t be busy–but it’s a holiday for enough people that it absolutely does move the needle on crowds.
This weekend is one of several holidays that makes winter a time of ‘peaks and valleys’ at Walt Disney World, and not strictly the off-season.
Don’t expect things to get any better from here, either.
Above is a look at Magic Kingdom average daily wait times by attraction for Saturday.
Despite a lower crowd level, this is actually more time than the same 7 headliners would’ve taken on most days during Christmas week.
The difference is that more wait times have been added for things that don’t draw lines, like Celebrity Spotlight.
In addition to omitting Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, which (conservatively) would’ve averaged at least an hour wait, that data misses the festival crowds and food booth lines.
With the start of the 2022 Epcot Festival of the Arts, many locals, snowbirds, and other Walt Disney World regulars are visiting the park without rides as their focus.
For what to do and when to do it, our Walt Disney World Ride Guides will help.
